Default ISO:tweezers

I lost my favorite pair of tweezers and I can't remember where I bought them. From side view they look sort of like this. Any idea who sells them?

The first one of these tweezers is from Rio Grande and the other one is from Divardi. Notice how the tips are not as angled or as wide as my drawing?

Thanks, but not it. On mine, the tip wasn't as long, it was much wider, and close to 90 degree angle

Try looking for stamp tweezers-- at least, I think that's what you're looking for.

I haven't purchased them yet, but will get them at Ellen Hutson: paper crafts essentials and more. They cost $8. It was the stamp tweezer tip that led me to them.

Check out these tweezers - many angles from this seller, so check out his range of tweezers - love them - love the padding on the tools - great for picking up murrain and thin stringers- bought a few of various angles about a year ago. All around $4. Because they are locking tweezers, you don't have to worry about keeping pressure on the tool while you are working.
