FAQs
Can I use these for soldering?
No, these are made of plastic and will melt or deform if exposed to soldering temperatures.
Are these tweezers antistatic?
While the plastic material is non-conductive, it is not specifically certified as anti-static, so use caution near extremely sensitive electrostatic devices.
Can I wash these in water?
Yes, you can rinse them in lukewarm water and mild soap to remove debris, then allow them to air dry completely.
What is the benefit of the three different nibs?
The multiple nib designs allow you to choose the best grip profile for the specific geometry of the part you are handling.
Do these work with heavy metal parts?
They are designed for delicate and small components; they may flex too much when attempting to grip heavy or rigid metal items.
Troubleshooting
The tweezers are not gripping small items securely.
Check the nibs for any residue, such as dried glue or dust, and clean them with a damp cloth to restore the grip.
Tips are becoming misaligned after heavy use.
Gently apply pressure to realign the arms of the tweezers, ensuring they are stored in a neutral, relaxed position when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tweezers are ready to use straight out of the packaging. No complex setup or calibration is required. To maintain the life of your Modelcraft Plastic Tweezers, ensure they are stored in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources that could warp the plastic. Cleaning is simple: wipe the nibs with a damp cloth to remove any residual glue or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads, as these may damage the plastic surface or smooth out the serrations over time.
