Tweezers

2003-10-12

If you've ever had trouble getting hold of small components or find positioning them for gluing without also sticking fingers difficult to the pieces being joined then tweezers should be in your tool box.






There are, believe it or not, quite a lot of different types of tweezers - the ones shown are at ~3/4 scale and are the general house-hold variety with serrated 'teeth'.

Medical tweezers are available with different shaped jaws and are generally larger so more suited for handling model components. Smooth, flattened bladed tweezers can be invaluable for handling decals, serrated ones tend to tear the film.
