Good Quality Tweezers

[swordtail]

Hi to all,
Not sure if I put in classified or on this section.

Any idea where can I get good quality tweezers? Or any other tools to recommend that I can use to plant glosso?
And normally how much it cost?

Thanks.

Hi Swordtail

a good planting tweezer to get is from JBL...I cannot remember the price though.

There's an Arowana exhibition in Parco Bugis this week. Went and saw the kind of tweezer you want (long and extremely narrow tip) at $16. Placed at quite ulu corner so ask the salesman to help.

Hi
I think i am in a good position to answer this question. Because i just brought one. There are bascially two types. The first type is the plastic one. The price i am not too sure but definitely less than $8. I brought the metallic stainless steel one. It is more expensive. Most shop are selling at $16. But I managed to get it for only $14 after asking for discount of course. On top of that, the metallic one also come with a metallic scissor. It can be attacked to the tip of the tweezer to facilitate you in the trimming and maintaining of the plants. Hence, it will be a better choice compare to the cheaper one.
Thks.

Anyone using those ADA tweezers? Or those AL ones?

I got one tweezer today.... stainless steal and around 3 inch long, cost me only 1.5 bucks. Enough to put my plants into the gravel/substrate....

Plantmania....

Try to use that tweezer to plant glosso in a 4feet tank. Maybe you will need to dip you head inside in order to do that.

They are talking about long tweezer lah...
For small tank like you and I, small tweezer enough already! Don't get angry hoh!...about the 'head dipping' part.

just to add on...those tweezer may not have enough metal tensity and could bend when inserting fert balls or sticks....

I have a 4ft x 1.5 x 2 tank.... and I am using a 3inch tweezers , no need so long a tweezer cos my arm is long enough to reach the bottom with room to spare. Hardened steel tweezers, not the soft metal type.
