Ring Holding Tweezers

**SCEtoAUX** · #1 03-11-2015, 12:54 PM

I was looking for a way to position formers and bulkheads inside a tube and found these ring holding tweezers.

You can insert the curved ends into the center hole of the former to place it in the tube. If you want more pressure you can use a finger between the arms to exert some outward force.

It seems to work OK so far based on just a few times in use.
I acquired mine through Widget Supply.

Cool. the model equivalent of snap ring pliers. Going to have to check'em out.

Those ring holding pliers are turning out to be quite handy. Looks like they are available in lots of places.

. Watch out for the sharp points.

With a Harbor Freight Tools store just 15 minutes away from me, if Widget Supply was close my money reserves would be very thin most of the time.

Hey, appreciate the info; I'd have never guessed those existed.
This is one of why the web and these forums are a grand thing, the sharing of knowledge which helps everyone.
