Master miniature fasteners with these prong-style tweezers, designed for secure screw handling during intricate jewellery and watch repair.
What it does
These tweezers employ precisely shaped, opposing prongs to gently yet firmly grip tiny screw heads, allowing for controlled placement and thread engagement without slippage. The spring tension holds the screw securely, freeing your fingers for other tasks. Constructed from durable stainless steel with a matte finish to minimise distracting reflections, they offer a reliable solution for working with delicate components.
How to use it
- Select the correct size screw for your project.
- Gently grip the screw head with the prong tips.
- Position and carefully start the screw thread.
Who it's for
An indispensable tool for UK watchmakers, clockmakers, and jewellers tackling intricate assemblies. These tweezers are also ideal for electronics technicians and model makers who require precise manipulation of miniature fasteners. They replace the need for sticky waxes or awkward finger-balancing for small screws.

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.
