Wire Holding Tweezer Self Locking Closing Cross Lock Tweezers Round Open Slot By JTS

edit: lmao these were originally listed as wire/wiring tweezers, but they're so good for lock re-pinning that even the merchant decided to change the listing.(original review below)Great for lock picks/smiths! Sturdy construction and the amazing price make these the perfect lock re-pinning tweezers. Seriously, they're less than half the cost of the same item elsewhere. If you need pinning tweezers, look no further!

I use them to hold small roll pins in places/angles a hollow tipped starter punch wont fit well. Also good for inserting detent pins for AR take down/pivot pins, safety detents, etc. I threw a pair of them in my tool kit. They work great. I gave the features 3 stars (average) because you have to try awfully hard to mess up (or improve) a tool like this :) Might be better if it had a rubber handle on it, but doesn't need it.

I had a pair of the sparrows pinning tweezers which are great but they struggle to grab and hold smaller pins and springs. These have become my new go to pinning tweezers since they grip better and have a smaller cup profile - holding the smaller cabinet wafer lock springs while also having a great ability to hold standard kwikset and schlage pins steady.The reverse tension also means you don't have to worry about loosing whatever you're holding which I love. Highly recommend!

Needed small tweezers for craft work, without breaking the bank. I mean, what makes a name-brand set sold at craft stores worth 3-4 times the price? Exactly, I couldn't find a reason either. Functionally, these do a great job, not at all displeased with how well they grip small beads and such, even ordered a second set to have in my travel kit (for crafting on the road as a stress reliever), very affordable for the purpose driven design.The one design flaw I found, and share for your consideration, is the sides where a person's fingers are to grip...no traction material. Solid, smooth stainless steel construction, could use either a milled/machined/stamped friction zone, are a rubberized paint of some sort so they don't slip during use. I've added a little strip of hockey tape on each side, problem solved for me, but something they could do at the factory that would make this product an all around winner. For that oversight in design, I ding this product one star, as it would be an easy fix the flaw during the "build" process.Overall, aside from the finger slippage I had, very good product for crafting or holding small non-flat objects

If you're rekeying a bunch of locks, these are a must have. They're good quality and work great.

Using these for lock pins, works great!

These are nicely finished and will securely hold the shank of a 130/705 household sewing needle. Also the shanks of ELx705 needles used in household serger and cover stitch machines.They also work well to hold the shank of 135x16 (DPx16) and 135x17 (DPx17) needles.I have a hand tremor and often poke myself trying to load a new needle into one of my machines. These give me good control and spare my fingertips.

I cannot recommend these enough. Every one drops pins, drops springs, messes up when gutting, pinning, re-pinning locks. These tweezers reduce how often I drop pins exponentially. Like I've dropped two, maybe, since I started using these. That they are self-closing and stay closed firmly holding the pins/springs makes maneuvering them and lining them up with the pin chambers SO much easier and more precise. The formed tip fits pins perfectly securely.A MUST have for any locksport enthusiast or locksmith.
