6.5" Straight Cross Action Tweezers
SKU: 505TW
Construction
These are straight-jaw, cross-action tweezers built so the jaws stay closed under spring tension and open when you squeeze the handles. The straight profile keeps the gripping faces aligned with your hand position, which helps you place or remove small hot components with controlled pressure.
Why and when it’s used in lampworking
Cross-action tweezers are used when you need a steady hold without having to continuously squeeze, which reduces hand fatigue during repetitive bench work. In lampworking they’re commonly used for holding small findings, pins, mandrels, thin sheet or foil accents, and small parts while you position them, tack them in, or let them cool. They’re also useful for grabbing hot bits from a marver area or kiln shelf when you want a light, precise grip rather than the heavier bite of standard pliers.
