discussion Best sets of tweezers....

[peter.collins443]

Where can I get a descent set of tweezers, the ones I have at the moment are useless and flimsy.. I keep dropping small parts, or I cant grip the item Im trying to pick up.

One set is never enough, Lol.
I have a cheap generic set, it was inside a generic modelling starter tool set, think it was a Hobby Craft one?
I also have a set of three, thin, curved and flat. No name brand, just a cheap generic set.
I also have a set of the "reverse" tweezers, that hold a part for you, from Amazon I think?
Plus have a couple of very nice, but more expensive Dspiae set, but very small and very thin. Nice quality though.
I tend to prefer small and thin when it comes to tweezers, but its a personal choice TBH.

I got a really nice set of three in the works.... Straight, angled and broad tips..... About three quid the set...... Wasn't expecting much for the price but they have worked out great,..... Bought another set cos I'm always putting things down then can't find them lol

After struggling with cheaper generic tweezers for ages I splashed out and bought these

They made a massive difference to me, far less sacrifices to the carpet monster/desk gremlins. They hold parts more firmly and accurately.
