so my father was a biology researcher, and when he died I got his tools. One box of which was some of the weirdest tiniest tweezers I’ve ever seen.
There were some that have proven downright handy. I’m discussing one such here.
After using them for years I finally looked them up and found out what they are called:
Adson kocher biopsy tweezers.
I of course have no interest in biopsies but I do mess about with wire and cotton. They’re handy for this. The tweezers have a three tined claw at the end. One side is a V shape and the other side has a single blade that fits into th V.
They have two uses. One is thinning cotton. The claw has a high surface area with a small size and they’re strong. Great for pulling tufts of cotton out of the middle of a bundle.
The other use is holding wire end on. Fit the wire into the V, then clamp it down with the wedge. It holds very strongly and oesnt crush the end of the wire the way corrugated tweezers do. Particularly good if you want to yank hard on a short wire
