Tweezers

The watchmaker will do well to purchase tweezers that are made of non-magnetic material, as they are no more expensive than ordinary ones of good make. Steel tweezers often become magnetized and by their use you convey the magnetism to the delicate parts of a movement. There are several makes of non-magnetic tweezers upon the market, all of which posses points of excellence. Soldering tweezers are made similar to Fig. 307, with hawk bill, for holding work while hard or soft soldering. See also Soldering Forceps.
