Looking for Tweezers

Post by RichardP » Wed Jan 18, 2017 1:51 pm

Hi all,

I've always had a pair of spring steel tweezers that I use to pick up ants but they've gone missing leaving me powerless to return wandering ants to the nest.

I was hoping to buy from someone in the UK (I can get them at antstore).

I've looked on the Ankit website and the British Ants website but can't find them.

Can anyone help supply the type mean?

I also need some long angled stiff tweezers as well as they've gone missing.

I must have a tweezer thief in my house.... I wonder if my wife is stealing them and using them for some unspeakable purpose?

They are out of stock at the moment but you could email them and ask when they'll be back in stock.

Fingers? Are you talking about for soldiers?
You must have some mean skills if you find tweezers better :D
