                        Nice! Thanks for all the hints folks!

                        I use the same type Nam. Go for the high quality Dumont and others like it. Four good pairs should last you a life time.

                        Nam,

                        I use a few pairs like these by Dumont of Switzerland.  They are beautifully made is Stainless with a cross hatch grip for about 3/8" from the tip.  They come in standard or fine point, with locking feature or without.  Very, very nice stuff! Thumbs Up [tup]

                        They run about $20-$25 per pair, and are totally worth it.

                        Here are some on Ebay.

                        Frank

                        Okay....I've had it with mid-market, low-market and junk tweezers!

                        I've looked about but does anyone mfr tweezers with a crosshatch or other grip on the inside jaws? The only tweezers I own require a Hefty bag to keep the part nearby when it flies away!
