I need a new pair of tweezers. The ones I have I picked up at Walmart a few years ago, but I've always hated them. I need something that can more easily grasp counters of various sizes.
Recommendations?
Whoo boy....jokes about male genital size incoming.....well, not from me but you know this crowd. ::)
I didn't think I'd have to qualify the statement to not receive Mirths preferred masterbation tool, but yeah your right.
You very well know that you're my preferred masturbation tool...those big meaty hands of yours :smitten:

I need to get some as well - looking at longish curved end ones.
I bought these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WC0BBE0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) from Amazon. They work great.
Yeah, Mike - that looks spot-on.
Now you just need a little, tiny bottle of Aveeno O0
..with a little tiny Gus to hold it......
;D ;D ;D
Isn't that an oxymoron?

Actually, a redundancy. It would be an oxymoron if you were really 6 & 1/2 feet tall.
The moron part still applies :P
'Wing gets me.
i use the one shown in the picture ...bought it at a booth on a fair (not a games fair) near City of blades Solingen which had all kind of small scissors, tweezers, pliers, scoopulas, scalpels, n'such instruments to browse through

Trying to handle stacked wargame counters with tweezers seems like it would just make it more troublesome.
Are you guys really so palsied as to require tools to pick up cardboard pieces? :))
I have a pair of these. Nice and wide for all sizes of counters:

Never understood the use of tweezers myself..... ???
So, what do you use to pluck your eyebrows with?

A single stack is fine. It's when that stack is surrounded by 5-6 other stacks that the tweezers become a necessity.
^This. You don't use them all the time.

Meh.
I watched someone attempting to do that with tweezers a few times in a video. It still looked like he would've accomplished it faster by pulling the stack out with his fingers & nudging the rest back in place.
I suppose you guys have the shakes all the time, if that can't be done? :buck2:
Lay off the coffee you addict fiends!
If you play enough counter heavy wargames, you learn the value of using tweezers to move the counters. It's also much easier to lift a single counter from a stack with screwing up the stack or the surrounding stacks.
Oh....
And trim those corners if you don't want your hairy-cornered stacks of counters velcro'ing to each other!
<:-)

I ordered these and the damned light didn't work. Reported it to Amazon, a second pair was sent and the light was bad on that. At least I ended up with two pair of nice tweezers for the price of one.
I'm going to try these very cheap ones.
