Hi can anyone explain to my why these are so expensive compared to auction site? Is it down to them lasting longer or easier not to squash plants? Thanks
I think you get what you pay for. Mine were cheap and planting with them is a bit of a chore.
Some of the cheap ones look very thin. I’m looking at item number 163343386787 on the auction site and they look pretty good. Very similar to the ones I have already but just a bit longer.
£8 ish fro Pets at Home. The metal bends under force in an unhelpful way.We're they cheap as in 3-4 pounds auction site cheap or budget from a shop 15 pounds or thereabouts?
They have “May Aquarium Tweezers 35 cm Long” on Amazon at £12 that look pretty good.
@Aqua sobriquet My expensive ones broke - what a great idea - I may just do that. It saves £80 for a new set.I have seen pictures where the welding has gone on them and folks have had to put a couple of small bolts through the end! Maybe you get what you pay for?!
Yes - great point. I couldn't agree more. In fact, I tend to use medical instruments. Some of my tweezers are so sharp it makes planting a doddle. But after 4 hours of planting, even that can become difficult.Hi I would advise against getting the tweezers with the angled tip. The angle always catches on the plant and they float back out of the soil while try to plant.
