Very similar to what you're looking for...
Go to Micromark.com and do a search for tweezers. You will find what you're looking for.
I have a few pair of these cheap, angled tweezers. I bend the prongs inward, and they work great for holding wheels while you're airbrushing them and letting them dry.

Although rather pricey, this place has nearly every type of tweezer in the known universe:

I want a pair of hard rubber tipped tweezers. I can't find any but I think having the rubber would prevent parts shooting out across the room. Do these exist?

buy a set of cheap tweezers and use Liquid Electrical Tape http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Liquid-Electrical-Tape-for-Boats-SCP-14201-/331150272304?hash=item4d1a182730:m:mABMKhbrXDI82toFgefl8BA
Just dip them in and leave to dry. The idea was in FSM a few months back and they work great

Just curious.... I am a newbie and reading and learning.
So what would you use these for? Thanks

I am new thanks for the idea
in theory they would be for anything, mainly small, rounded parts that metal tweezers sometimes won't hold very well.
oh cool, I might need to try that

I just use a toothpick.

Me too, held in a wooden clothespin. Just snug that toothpick into the wheel real good and tight, should be good to go.

Jamming a toothpick into the axle hole is also convenient for hand painting wheels. You can slowly twirl it while holding a small paintbrush against the rim. Since you do not need to move the brush with your hand/fingers, you can brace them and get a nice good line of paint that way.

Yep Don, been there too. That works quite well with a bit o' practice.
The only solution I have found to avoid tweezers to cause tiny parts to launch to parts never-again-to-be-found is to avoid using tweezers for tiny parts.
