Dolphin24 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?

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.
Yep Don, been there too. That works quite well with a bit o' practice.

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.

GreenThumb USAFASME7 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. 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.

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

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
