2: The tips on these
tweezers are very sharp.
I purchased my tweezers from Otto Frei, a jewelers supply out-
let in Oakland, CA which now has an extensive online store.
This following link will lead to a set of Dumont No. 3 stainless
steel tweezers:
.
These tweezers cost about $35 a pair which probably seems
high for such a small tool. That is twice as much as the “twee-
zers sets” available from some hobby vendors. However, I have
never found any need for more than my one No. 3 tweezers.
Keep in mind that $35 for my tweezers is only $1 per year for
the time that I’ve owned them so far. I fully expect to still be
using them 10-15 years from now.
If you build any models, even kits, get yourself a good set of
tweezers. They will serve you well for decades.
Disclaimer - I love good tools and don’t hesitate to invest in them.
