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

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.
