Pine Needle Tweezers

[Paradox]

I need to find a good pair of pine needle tweezers.
I would prefer stainless.

Recommendations on what and where to buy?

Thanks

Try this type. It's what I use and it works very well.

I'm almost afraid to ask how you stumbled on these...Russian vetrinary tissue tweezers sounds dark and disturbed!
Long time no see, hope you are well.

A friend of mine in Cinci designs medical instruments for surgeons. The only issue with those is if you are too aggressive, you may pull needles you didn't mean to.

Does anyone use hemostats for tweezers? I have 3 pair in different sizes that I use for different things.
Plucking needles,pulling weeds,anywhere my fat fingers can't go without tearing things up.

Thank you! I have been trying many types with less then good results. Just ordered them and I am certain they will be just what I was wishing I had! Welcome back!

Those work "OK" but for larger scale of work the extra teeth on these will make for far more productive time spent.

I bought mine from Stone Lantern...they're significantly longer then most of the surgical forceps I've used which, in my mind, gives you greater reach into the canopy of a tree...my 0.02.

Which one did you get? I have tried 2 from there Koyo and another and both did not hold up well. If I remember they were only 9-10USD but I see today they have higher priced.

I call mine "fingers."

I call mine "mitts" - I do a far better job with tweezers.

I can't remember and I'm at work right now. I'll see when I have a moment.

Best ones out there in my opinion. Do not use them for anything else but pine needles.
