I’ve been working on Chinese tweezers for a month or so, but I lost the tweezers. Does anyone have any good replacement tweezers? A sturdier pair would be nice

What size coins?
Tweezerman are really nice and firm, easy to hold, and very precise.. |

I’ve been using dollar size coins.

I use the 99 cent ones from Walgreen.

You want them to be straight edged on the bottom as opposed to the usual slanted/curved edges. Easier to hold the coin up in the center.

It seems like a lot of items are made with cheaper materials compared to 30 or 40 years ago. The ones that are supplied with the trick are terrible. One squeeze and they bend out of shape. Anyway, I have a pair of Revlon tweezers from probably the late 70's which are very sturdy and work perfectly. Occasionally, they can be found on Ebay. And, I agree with Jim, they should be straight edged at the bottom.

I got this when it was a $10 download and in Spanish. I learned it from just watching him on the video. You can use the normal slanted tweezers but you take more practice and is worth it.
