Tweezers -- any in particular that you recommend?

Jun '09 Unknown

I am LONG overdue to buy a good pair of tweezers for scrapbooking. Of course every single company makes them. Rather than spending an hour online looking up ratings and reviews, are there any really great tweezers that you guys recommend (or, ones that you don't?)

Thanks...looking forward to applying letters and rhinestones with ease!

I just use my Revlon ones...never thought to buy ones specifically for scrapbooking. They seem to do the job perfectly

I grabbed a pair from my hubby that he got in the hardware area of wal-mart, they are sharp and keep closed by them selves, you push them to open. It makes keeping hold of stuff so much easier.

I also have these tweezers and I actually don't like them. You squeeze to open and release your pressure to close. You can't get a very tight grip on what your trying to hold. It drives me crazy. I'd much rather buy the cheap $3 tweezers from the grocery store that you can squeeze to apply the pressure.

I use cutter bee tweezers and have for years. Love them! They're similar to the MM tweezers sold by sb.com

I have the Cutterbee ones (Tweezerbees, I think is what they are) and I love mine.

Although I did stab myself with the sharp tips, once. Not a good idea. Don't recommend doing that.

I have a pair from my step-mon, she's a dental assistant and they use them to pick up small dental stuff, they work great. They are bit like the making memory ones but don't lock.

I totally love the tweezerbees by EK Success... they squeeze to open and once you let go they go back together. They are very sharp and they hold little items really well. They also have a comfort grip on them. I use them all the time for everything!

I use my Mrs. Grossman's sticker tweezers all the time. It's one of my go-to tools.

Ahh, I didn't think of stealing some from work (I'm a hygienist) Those would actually be perfect! Thanks for the indirect tip!

I just bought a pack of 7 pair of different tweezers (shown below) at Harbor Freight with a coupon for $1.49 (they're online for $2.99)! Included is a pair of the reverse action ones like the MM.

Go to a hardware store!

I don't have a M's .
How is the quality of the Harbor Freight tweezers.
I bought a set of crafting tweezers several years ago, can't remember where, but they were not very good.

Oh, the quality if pretty poor. But, really, what do you need for picking up paper?!

For the price, I'll get these...
