I got a pair over a week ago and can say nothing but good about them. There Great. I got the AM style and love them. Tenacious grip and they don't spit screws.

where did you get them Patrick?

scroll down to see the brass

I found Brass tweezers especially useful if I was trying to place a slightly magnetized part in a movement.

Otherwise they are very soft and wear quickly.

Type in brass tweezers on e bay and there are several but one sells gold plated and just brass by itself. The brass alone were $14.00 on sale. I bought some a few years ago but they were junk. These seem to be good. Thinking about buying another pair.
