So basically, really expensive tweezers?

u/YoungFair3079 Sep 15 '26

Exactly! But, I need all the tools!

I am still confused on how they operate.

The handle goes in the palm of your hand, and you use your thumb and index finger to squeeze the arms together.

Think tweezers with that pivoting handle attached to the back... or really tweezers that are made the same way that grill tongs are made, but then add a pivoting handle to the back of that.

Ooooh the handle does appear to pivot. That makes sense.

Another way to put it is they are specialized tweezers that are easy to hang on to so you don't accidentally drop them.

I think vim makes these too

u/AMSAtl Sep 15 '26

I'm under the impression that VIM manufactures these for Mac Tools

u/yaboymiguel Sep 15 '26

Correct. VIM manufacturers them and Mac sells them at like a 250% mark up

u/PossibleRussian Sep 15 '26

$129 for the VIM set if anyone was wondering

u/Farmerstubble Sep 15 '26

Intersting. Do you turn the end to make them grab?

u/YoungFair3079 Sep 15 '26

no, you use your fingers. Supposedly for tight areas. We shall see!
