Pine needle tweezers

[Gary McCarthy]

Anybody have a source for this style of pine needle tweezers - yoshiaki-pine-needle-tweezers-straight-or-curved

Kaneshin makes one that is similar to this as well.

How long?

I dig the cheap plastic tweezers in first aid kits.

I think I have a box full.

NE bonsai sells them so couldnt you buy them from them?
Ahh looks like they out of stock for now

Apparently the curved ones are still available on Bonsai Outlet which is odd because Bonsai Outlet = NE bonsai

Yep, the few places I've been able to find that normally sell them are out of stock. Must be a popular item

But, I did contact Jonas at Bonsai Tonight. He's going to start selling them and he should be getting an order in from Kaneshin in a few weeks.

My Kaneshin tweezers are straight and they’re ok, but a little too flexible to always get a good grip on needles. My Masakuni tweezers are bent tips and very stiff, so each pull is productive. I prefer the Masakuni, FWIW.

Curious for future reference, No. 811?

Masakuni 811 is the closest to what I have, but mine (left) look slightly different.

Yea I own Masakuni needle tweezers as well and I love them. They are the most expensive tweezers I've ever owned but after trying others they are well worth the price for doing that kind of work. Perfect stiffness and tension imo. I only use them for needle pulling to avoid damaging them doing something else.
