Model Railway Forum

Can anybody recommend a good set of tweezers and where to get them please? Thank you.

What size, shape, sprung shut or sprung open, what sort of tip, pointed, flat etc.? To be honest with tweezers I have found the more you pay the better the product, much like scissors. I usually get mine at model railway shows but Boots or Amazon are worth a look.

If you want good quality tweezers then Boots or somewhere like that sell them. You can pay up £20 or more my wife tells me. Craft shops sell them as well. I have bought tweezers on eBay but must say the ones I got from eBay were rubbish.

I have to say that I've ended up with quite a selection as they all seem perfect for different jobs. My go to ones though are the sprung shut, think I got them from a show. They are so handy for holding small item.

I agree they are very useful.

Got loads including some ceramic tipped ones from China to use for soldering.
