Tweezer types
Hiya watch peeps, i thought about a light discussion on types of tweezer might make a recent change. So newbies listen up it will help to understand why parts ping away, we all ping parts from time to time, what did we do that had us spending 2 hours on our hands and knees ? What metal do we all prefer ? Different types of steels, brass, bronze, titanium, carbon fibre, ceramic tips, wooden tips. What sizes and shapes do we think is better for different tasks ? Which metal grips better, scratches
I agree with you about the #5, I have a Dumont steel set with the green coating for grip and once I get them in my hand it's hard to put them down until something inevitably pings away. I think the slimmer points of a #5 make them more springy (less stiff) and this is combined with the fact you have less contact surface area means the parts are then more likely to ping away than drop onto the work surface if you loose your grip. Like you, I am quite strict with myself and try my best to use them
