Plant Tweezers!

[G H Nelson]

Hi Crew
Lost my fine tipped tweezers used for single stem plantlets!
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement.
Cheers

No problem, not the longest of tweezers but I find them especially comfortable to work with, had mine for a couple of years now and still as sturdy as when I first got them.

+1 for APFUK tools. I have a whole selection now over 3 years old and still going strong with no signs of wear or corrosion.

Hi
any advantage in the "sushi" style over regular straight ones?

 

[G H Nelson]

Thanks George!
It's a mystery where they went...probably in the bin when l did a clear up!
Cheers hoggie

I'd go for the curved on basis can grab the plant by the root, pull it into the gravel, then wiggle free without disturbing the plant.

I've found the curved one disturb substrate too much when pulling out if I'm not careful.
And it's a hassle to be careful everytime I use it. Looking at ADA's videos, they use straight ones almost exclusively.

I have a pair of ADA long straight tweezers that I paid a small fortune for many years back when other choices were very limited. They're really beautiful and have earned their keep many times over now
