PRECISE CURVED TWEEZERS

Precise curved tweezers from AK interactive

Modeling tweezers with tapering jaws curved into a point. The curve is the main difference from the straight variant of the same range and it is not cosmetic: the tip points downward at an angle, so while seating a part you can see the place where you are putting it and your hand does not block the view. You can also reach into recesses, under a wing, into a cockpit interior or between parts already glued, where straight tweezers would collide.

Use

• Seating small photo-etched parts, handles, footsteps, antennas and rivets on a model already under way.
• Holding a part while instant glue cures, without having to keep your fingers in the way.
• Work with a decal: the tweezers hold the backing by its edge, with no pressure of the tips on the decal itself.
• Lifting a cut part out of a sprue, handling figure equipment and small resin parts.
• The curved shape also suits setting parts into recesses and working with scenic elements deep in a diorama.

Who it is for

For modelers who work with photo-etched sets and small accessories, and for anyone who builds interiors and dioramas, where parts are set into an already finished structure. Straight tweezers remain the basic tool for picking up and carrying parts, while curved ones are a companion for precise seating.

The tips are sharp, so keep out of the reach of children and do not use the tweezers as a pry bar or on hard materials. Keep the jaws clean; scrape cured glue off carefully and do not burn it off. Do not put the tweezers down so that the weight of the tool rests on the tips, as a bent tip will no longer close and the tool loses its precision.
