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.
All 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.
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.
