Tweezers
What are tweezers?
Tweezers are precision hand tools consisting of two thin, flexible arms joined at one end, used for gripping and manipulating small objects with fine control. In electronics and hardware engineering, they are essential for handling delicate components like surface-mount devices (SMDs), small resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits during assembly, repair, or prototyping. They come in various tip shapes including pointed, flat, curved, and anti-static varieties to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components.
