plastic tweezers?

Postby Rich219 » Mon May 21, 2007 10:56 pm

Is there a preference of plastic tweezer over the metal ones? If so is there a reason?

If I'm handling components for some silly reason, I like plastic ones. No ESD issues.

If I'm handling things in me, metal, more responsive, you can "feel" better through them IME.

When a man go no longer speak without malice intended lest he cause offense, that is when truth starts to die.
