I think I need tweezer tongs, looked on Amazon, too many choices.
Help.
Do you recommend any?
What do you need them for that regular tongs (I love my OXO) wouldn’t suffice?

I purchased a pair that was recommended in Bon Appetit, I do not like them, the tips do not grab well.
I use the narrow tipped to clean lint from the clothes dryer, I have not found a use for the wide tipped one.
I prefer using chops sticks over the tweezer tongs.
Based on my experiences, I recommend testing in person.

i use the 12’’ version. i picked it up at a restaurant supply store (think it was only around $5). seems to work as intended. i find myself using it to turn scallops, extract jar capers, and deviled egg modifications.

Hmmm. I’d be worried to pierce scallops with those pointed ends. My OXO tongs work perfectly fine for turning scallops, pieces of meat, etc.
I retrieve capers from the jar with a cake/dessert fork.

I use an iced tea spoon for capers.
I see them using them on Instagram, look to be more precise, nimble.
I’ll have to go by the restaurant supply store.
I guess I don’t often have to pick up tiny things that would require a huge tweezer

We have these, they work well for delicate items. The tweezer tongs I see are usually being used to place the final garnish. We aren’t quite that precise these days.

The Bon Appetit article was using tweezer tongs to garnish dishes; placing flower petals, herbs, fish eggs, etc.
The pair I tried did not pick up flower petals.
Where do you find those?
We’ve had the bigger pair for while, the smaller pair I picked up at World Market a few years back. If I remember correct.y, there were several sizes in the display.
I would imagine Amazon would have a selection.
We use them a lot with dumplings, seafood and stir fry.
yeah. some clarification required. . . .
“tweezers” and “tongs” both “grab” things - but size matters . . .
I have SS “pliers” for fish bones,
I have really nifty WMF pastry tongs for general use,
I have Graefe medical style forceps for tiny itty bitty stuff . . .
there’s a “needs” difference of flipping a schnitzel and placing edible flowers as garnish…
Google; trainer wood cooking chopsticks.
