Title: Old Tweezers
Post by: handi2 on January 04, 2016, 05:25:51 PM
I couldn't find "the tip of the day" thread so I posted this here.

When cleaning up I saw my old tweezers were bent so I bent them to pull small bearings. It works great. The SS tweezers must be annealed because they bent without breaking.

The eyesight, hearing, knees, and just about everything else, except Old Penns are shot....my wife caught me reading this and saw me eyeballing her tweezers and called me an Old Geezer with the warning "dont even think about it"....well at least I still have my Long Beach Live Bait Caster.....thanks for the tip..... ;D

My Wife's Tweezers cost her $40-$60 per pair. Touch them & I hope you have a Will. The ones that I have came from a hospital & all German made.
