Szco Supplies Professional Locking College Tweezers - Precision Stainless Steel Tweezers for Lab, Crafts & First Aid | Ideal for Science Experiments, Jewelry Making & Medical Use

The functional value of a tweezer almost entirely depends on how well the tip aligns. Even a slightly misaligned tip causes major problems when performing tasks like removing a splinter, removing ticks, soldering wires, etc.The 2 teeezers I received do not align properly. They are not as bad as the set of 6 that I ordered for $2 directly from a China but they are not very useful for precision tasks. They won't work well for extracting splinters or ticks based on their misalignment, and the tips are too thick for tasks like watch repair or an anatomy dissection. Some other issues:-- screws on the tweezer are stripped and have sharp edges-- serrations on the tip don't line up properly.-- tips that are not pointed and refined as they should be; they're more like the tip of a hemostat than a precision tweezer.-- one arm of the tip is thicker than the other causing the tips to come together in a "lopsided" way- the locking mechanism does not align with the hole on the other arm. This causes the tweezers to "catch" right when you're closing them down onto the object of interest.
