About product

Sharp pointed tweezers 4 3/4 inches (Excel)

Pointed modeling tweezers belong to the basic equipment of both a build and a display case. The sharply tapered jaws reach where fingers cannot and will hold a part so small that it would be lost in your hand. The only dimension the manufacturer gives directly in the designation is the overall length of 4 3/4 inches, that is approximately 12 cm.

Where you will use them during a build

  • Seating photo-etched parts, buckles, grab handles and antennas in place.
  • Carrying a moistened decal from the water to the model and sliding it into position.
  • Fishing small parts out of an etching or washing bath and out of the enclosed spaces of a cockpit.
  • Holding a part at the moment you put a drop of glue on it with your other hand.
  • Picking a broken-off piece out of the carpet that would otherwise be gone for good.

What to watch out for

A sharp point is an advantage and a risk at the same time. It sinks very easily into soft plastic, into fresh paint and into a damp decal, so hold a part with the side of the jaws rather than with the tip. Never use tweezers as a pry bar or as a screwdriver, because the tips will spread and then no longer meet. If they do spread, they can be aligned carefully, but never as they were from the factory, so it pays to keep a second pair of tweezers for heavier work.

How they differ from an improvised substitute

Cosmetic tweezers from a drugstore have thicker and shorter jaws, meet only in the last few millimeters and shoot the part out when squeezed. Pointed modeling tweezers have jaws that are thin along their whole length and meet precisely, so they hold even a part the size of a dot without flinging it away.

Who it is for

For anyone building plastic models with photo-etched parts, decals or small equipment, and equally for collectors who only repair and straighten details on finished models.

FAQ

The designation of the product gives only the sharp point and the length; it does not specify the shape of the jaws.

Yes, for carrying a decal and fine-tuning its position they are ideal. Work with the side of the jaws, though, because a sharp tip easily punctures a damp decal.

The manufacturer gives neither the material nor the magnetic properties in the designation. Count on ordinary modeling tweezers and check any special requirements on the box.

After work with glue or paint, wipe the jaws before it dries, and store the tweezers so that the tips press on nothing. Spread tips are the most common reason tweezers stop holding.
