Tweezers

A Note About Tweezers
I do not recommend the spring loaded type of tweezers that you will commonly see for sale. I think that the spring puts too much pressure on a stone, especially if you are wax dopping (you do not need any more stress on a stone than necessary). Besides, I can never seem to get a stone to stay in these types of tweezers. I always have to find the stone after it has popped out of the spring tweezers and landed clear across the room some where.

Close up of the ribs on tweezer tipsAll of the tweezers that I have listed on this page have ribbed tips that will help hold the rough in the tweezers. All of these tweezers come in black and chrome, but I only carry the black color. I find that when you heat and cool them, the ends will eventually turn black any way, so you might as well get black to start with.

I prefer the slide lock type of tweezers and find them the easiest to use, but I do carry a pair of plain tweezers for somebody that wants them.

 


 


Italy - Slide Lock Tweezers Euro Tool - Slide Lock Tweezers
These are not much different in quality than a well known Swiss tweezer. The over all quality of these tweezers maybe slightly lower, but I do not see much quality difference personally and these work well.

In my opinion these tweezers are a better value.

Price $12.95
