Tools - Long Tweezers


Regular cosmetic size tweezers can help in a build, but you should get something much longer.

These tweezers are 6" to 7" long, leftovers from my model ship building days. They were used in tying rigging lines.
If you hate making parachutes, these will quickly become a favorite tool.
It's much easier to grab and tie shroud lines with long tweezers instead of your fingers. I also use them to pull Kevlar through a long body tube.
Sometimes you never know the difference until you use the right tool.

A six piece tweezers set is available from Harbor Freight for $5.99 at:
