Tweezers
Tweezers are an essential piece of kit in any jewellers toolbox.
Pointed tweezers are indispensable for picking up tiny pieces of solder or screws from your work bench. Placing the solder on the jewellery is much easier too with these tools. Be careful with the tip. It is very sharp and fine and can be bent easily.
The cross-lock mechanism of soldering tweezers opens when pressed and closes when released to grip objects securely and reduce hand fatigue. Heat-resistant fibre grips help protect fingers during heat-related applications such as soldering or wax-working.
Copper tweezers are a better option to plastic tweezers, as these are safe to use for inserting your pieces into pickle and cleaning solutions.
Watchmakers use a variety of styles of tweezers for different applications. Watchmaker’s tweezers are usually very small and have a extremely sharp points for picking up watch components and moving watch parts around – the smallest pointed tweezers are designed to position watch parts, not bend and shape them. They also come in magnetic and non magnetic for various applications.
