Hi, with fingers like pork sausages, looking for set of tweezers. Dont want flimsy things. Solution, please. Thanks.

There are a number of 'specialist' tweezers available on the UK version of ebay. The French one will probably have them too. I searched for modellers tweezers. 'Reverse' tweezers can come in very handy - you squeeze to release so don't have to maintain pressure on them to keep whatever you're holding in place.

Here is one example of a set of tweezers for modellers: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Si ... SwIFBfx-sI

I find ones like these are fine for modelling

Or these even finer ones

There are loads of different types to choose from. I tend to favour the self gripping ones like these:

Depends what type you need. Fine tip, flat tip, straight bent the list is endless.

Ones what hold tiny screws, and con rod fixings.

Thanks guys. Postage is more than the tweezers. Can now look for identical ones on Ebay, France.

I bought set of 6 on eBay for next to nothing and am very happy with them.

Hi, give me a clue what set. Thanks.
