I bought some Swedish ones off ebay ( wasn't the most expensive ) and there is a marked difference to the el cheapo's I was using. One of the members who was a watch maker by trade said buy the most expensive ones you can afford. Very happy that I bought them anyway.
Oh I think I remember him saying buy the type that closes Parallel or straight and parts won't fly off in all directions.

Yeah I've been looking at jewelry one's and straight tweezers are a must. Do you know which ones they are?

Steel Tamiya ones all day long

The steel HG tweezers are the ones to go for - another level to the black ones

Got these from Squadron (via HobbyLobby ) and they seem really nice and precision. Even has a slanted one as well. Only 12 bucks for the four of them with a 40 percent discount (or 8.84p for you dudes over the pond!) I like them.

(or 15p for you dudes over the pond!

Now 15p for that many tweezers is a good price

No, almost 9 pounds sheppsea with Hobbylobbys 40 percent discount. My wife just reminded about that! She's my money tree. I updated my post too.

Not saying these are the best to buy...but for my pocket they suit me. You could also search under watch makers tools and you will pay a lot more.

I have been real happy with the VS TWEEZERS - STRAIGHT TYPE and BENT TYPE from Volks USA. $13 US apiece.

I've recently bought a couple of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12cm-ADSON-S ... 1438.l2649 and so far I've not had any "pings" with them. They do feel very good.

Yes make sure it's these ones, they're fantastic, tips won't bend even though they're so fine.

The Tamiya ones are even finer at the point. But that's not the bit that makes them great. The rest of the body is so thick and strong and they only go really thin at the tip which means they won't bend or break like others do.
Yes expensive but worth every penny.

Kassoy makes some good stuff. When I bought an engagement ring for my fiance, I got the lady at the diamond store to throw in a pair of their nice tweezers. Below is link to where you can get them.

Oh Im sure your right Augustus! but the way those prices are, (not even counting kits)... on a fixed income, some low cost tools just give me barely a chance to make anything these days.
