Securely hold tiny components for intricate soldering tasks with this essential 2-piece reverse action tweezer set.

What it does

These tweezers employ a clever cross-action mechanism; squeeze the handles to open, and release to grip. This provides a steady, self-closing hold on beads, wire, or watch parts without constant finger pressure. The precisely machined jaws, crafted from hardened stainless steel, ensure consistent grip and durability for repetitive bench work, allowing you to focus on your soldering torch.

How to use it

  • Position the component between the open jaws.
  • Release the handles for a secure grip.
  • Clean tips after use for longevity.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, watchmakers, and serious hobbyists. These replace fiddly finger holds or temporary jigs, offering a reliable third hand for precise soldering, gluing, or assembly of delicate items.

Common questions at the bench

How do cross-lock tweezers hold the work?
They are self-closing: once the tips close on the work they hold it without any pressure from your fingers, leaving both hands free for the torch and the solder pick. For a steady hold, rest them in a third hand, or on their own stand if they have one.
How should I set up a joint?
Line the parts up so the joint closes with no gap before you light the torch. Grip the work a little way from the joint, not on it, so the tips do not cool the joint, and check nothing can shift as the piece gets hot.
Do the tweezers get hot?
Yes. The metal carries warmth back from the work, so hold them well back from the tips, keep your fingers out of the flame and let the tweezers cool before you touch the tips or put them away.
How should I look after them?
Keep the tips clean of flux and solder so they close evenly, and do not bend the arms or force them open wider than they go. Keep them out of the pickle and move work into and out of it with copper tongs: steel in an acid pickle can leave a thin copper coating on silver.
