Let's say that once more - these ARE our ALL-TIME FAVOURITE tweezers! At just under 12cm in length, they sit beautifully in your hand with a very comfortable grip and no slip. The soft-spring allows for accurate work - they really are precision tweezers. Just big enough to hold an ss40 without ruining the spring. The real key is the shaped tip which acts like a pair of miniature fingers. It's like picking up an item between fingertips rather than precariously between nails! We wouldn't expect anything other than top quality from Preciosa, but these really do tick all the boxes.
