Secure your components hands-free with these fibre-grip cross-lock tweezers, ideal for detailed soldering and assembly tasks on the jeweller's bench.
What it does
These self-closing tweezers offer a steady, locked grip, releasing only when you squeeze the handles. The red fibre grips are riveted for durability and provide effective insulation against heat during prolonged soldering. Precision-engineered straight tips ensure accurate placement of small components, while the included steel stand holds the tool securely, freeing up your hands for intricate work. The robust stainless steel construction is built to withstand the demands of a busy workshop environment.
How to use it
- Open the jaws by squeezing the handles together.
- Position the component precisely with the straight tips.
- Clean tips regularly for optimal grip and heat dissipation.
Who it's for
An indispensable tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, watchmakers, and electronics repair technicians. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an intermediate hobbyist, these tweezers act as a reliable third hand, simplifying intricate soldering, gluing, or assembly jobs where a steady hold is crucial.

Common questions at the bench
Will heat damage these tweezers?
Stainless steel cross-lock and standard tweezers handle bench-torch heat (1500 °C+) on the working tips repeatedly without damage — the steel just discolours. Titanium-tip soldering picks specifically will not bond to silver or gold solder, which standard steel will after enough use.
Cross-lock or reverse-action — which one?
Cross-lock (self-locking on close) grips your work without finger pressure — best for holding a piece for soldering. Reverse-action (locks open, releases on squeeze) holds a piece in position when you want to walk away. Most benches end up owning both.
What is the third-hand base for?
A heavy base with one or two cross-lock arms keeps your work stable while you set up solder pallions or apply heat. Frees both your hands for the torch and pick. The heavier the base, the steadier the work — aim for 1 kg+ for medium bench-torch work.
Can I solder on a ceramic board?
Yes — ceramic boards reflect heat back into the work and do not pit the way old fire-bricks do. For sterling work, a charcoal block underneath gives a reducing atmosphere that helps prevent firescale.
