Tweezers are an extension of ones fingers allowing customers to concentrate force to grab, grip, place, remove or hold items that are too small or delicate for the fingers. In scientific or medical context they are commonly referred to as forceps. As every application is unique, tweezers are available in a variety of tip sizes, geometries, and materials. The Ideal-tek tweezer material selection guide allows users to choose between different materials including metal, special high-performance plastics, ceramics and special coatings.
