MABIS Precision Kelly Forceps Locking Tweezers Clamp, Silver, Curved, 5-1/2 Inch, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Simple, effective, cheap!
I unfortunately have large hands so it will come as a surprise to know that I enjoy doing some model kit building and amateur-level gun smithing. I was trying to swap out a trigger with an improved one for one of my handguns and finally ran into the dilemma of not being able to squeeze my fingers into the frame and hooking a trigger spring into the corresponding bar (striker-fired action). I decided to order some forceps for the job and came across this listing with plenty of positive reviews. Placed my order, it shipped quickly, and I used these forceps for the exact job I was struggling with. Using a pair of these made a night and day difference! 5/5

Handy tool for the price but don’t expect surgical quality
I ordered 2 of these as they were on sale for $3 and this is the sort of thing that comes in handy for random stuff (soldering, clamping a fuel line closed, holding various things in place or together while you work on them, etc). The first ones I received, one was decent, the jaws weren’t perfectly aligned so while some parts could hold something very thin like tissue paper tightly another part (at the curve in the jaws) had a slight gap, but still would hold most stuff fine. The other set the two halves were very loose, so much so that they would not stay locked, the locking mechanism barely touched. They sent me another 2 pairs. Both of these are simliar to the first (good) pair, jaws are very close but not perfect, but more than enough for doing what I (or most non-surgeons) would need. One of the second sets the locking mechanism is a bit out of alignment, one piece is crooked, but they still lock perfectly fine. The slight gap at the curve is not a big deal for me since it is the tip that is more important, and that closes 99.9% of the way.
The tips of the jaw are not tiny/precision (like tweezers) but also not huge, they are small enough for what most would need them for. I already have a set of locking tweezers for more precise stuff, but tweezers aren’t as strong and can’t be clamped as tightly, so each tool has its purpose.
So overall for a few dollars, well worth the price. Anything more than $5 I’d say I’d be dissatisfied with the quality though. Even though they are non-returnable, if they are defective just contact customer care via chat and they’ll send a replacement or refund.
Worth noting these appear to be old stock, probably why they are so cheap. They come in MABIS packaging however MABIS was purchased by Briggs (the name in the description here) a while back. Not sure if Briggs has raised the quality, or changed anything else, but most likely when they use up this old stock the price will go up anyway.

Great scissors!!
It work great for holding things that have a small end and I got it for pulling hair of my cats ears when it was itchy for them and I wanted something big enough for my hands and easy to disinfect

Broke Fairly Quick
They’re a lower grade of surgical tools. I wasn’t using them for surgery obviously but they broke pretty quickly because of the cheap metal.

love them!!! can’t wait to use them hehe

I buy these for puppy grooming
