10" straight tweezers for $8.95. I found these in one of those mags I get delivered:

If the link times out go to www.shophometrends.com >Kitchen>kitchen accessories, then do a search for 'long tweezers'.

They look like the exact kind I got from Arizona Gardens years ago.

I needed a new pair too. I was looking for them a few weeks ago and finally found them where they had fallen in a tank weeks before. They were nice and rusty.

Thanks for the post!!

If you can find them with a sharper point it will make planting fine stem plants much easier... and let me know when you find them!

A guy came in the shop a couple weeks ago and told me that he is developing his own line of tools to sell. I'm kicking myself for not showing him the pair I use in the shop... they're perfect, but the designer went out of business. Long tweezers with a sharp tip that's only slightly curved.

In Japan you can get tools just like the ADA ones, but without the ADA price. I have some of the long non-ADA tweezers and they are excellent.

Y'all should be looking for forceps. Huge selection, surgical steel, any length or tip configuration you can think of, and they last a lifetime.

I have a clamping pair of forceps, they would be awesome if they didnt require two hands to break the clamp.

Sucks when you get the plant finally down and end up with a total mess while trying to get it to unclamp.
