High Precision Anti-static Stainless Steel Curved Tips Tweezers $0.39 Shipped

 

[JimmyR1rider]

I dont see why not, they're stainless steel so they wont rust- bone cutters that are in frag kits are stainless as well. The price is CRAZY low but hey maybe just stockpiled and they need to get rid of them. I would just make sure when you get them in person make sure the word stainless- or stainless steel is stamped somewhere in the metal.

These are the curved ones I got:

This is just one the ones I have.
I got mine from TBAquatics.com, but I believe Josh sometimes has them. Check with him.
You can also get them from several different vendors here.

What purpose do tweezers serve?

FWIW there are different grades of Stainless Steel. They do not specify the type of SS these tweezers are made of...which is suspect.

Stainless Steel is not rust proof, its rust resistant. Different grades of stainless are more/less prone to rusting.

In a nutshell, they should be safe to use, but there is not much guarantee they will not rust.

Target feeding, reaching into places, moving something you don't want to touch.
I found a pair of 12" ss at a medical supply company. Love them.

Whenever I go to LA, I stop to see many wholesalers and retailers there...everyone stores their 'stainless' fragging tools in saltwater, to prevent (delay?) rusting!

316SS is a common standard marine grade. It is a higher grade of stainless steel.
It all depends on what grade you are talking about.
Corrosion starts when metal is exposed to oxygen in the air through electrolysis. If you keep it submerged it won't rust as quickly because there is less oxygen, but it will still rust. I had SS dive knives that would corrode yet I see SS screws on my mag drive pump housing. They still haven't started to corrode after years of use.

I rinse tweezers off after using them and they look brand new.

Hell be fine with whatever grade the stainless is, just needs to rinse and dry them after each use is all.

On a safety note... do not squish zoas with these then pluck nose hairs.

Sorry... had some wine. Beer doesn't do this to me... wine... it's on.
