120 mm workshop tweezers made of stainless steel by Vallejo. Rounded tip for handling delicate parts without marking them, with anti-magnetic properties and total resistance to solvents. A reliable tool for modelling, miniatures, and any precision work.
Uncompromising Precision: Vallejo VAT12007 Round Tip Tweezers for Your Workshop
When the job requires moving a tiny part without damaging it, without it sticking to the tool, and without the adhesive solvent causing any deterioration, the 120 mm Stainless Steel Round Tip Tweezers from Vallejo (ref. VAT12007) perform exactly as expected. Developed under the quality standards of Acrylicos Vallejo, these tweezers are part of the workshop tool line designed for modelling, figures, and dioramas.
Main Features
- Material: high-quality stainless steel, resistant to wear and corrosion.
- Length: 120 mm, a manageable size that offers good control without losing reach.
- Round tip: prevents marks and point pressures that can deform or scratch sensitive components.
- Anti-magnetic: does not attract small metal parts or interfere with electronic components.
- Solvent resistant: suitable for use during gluing, cleaning, or application of common chemicals in the workshop.
Workshop Applications
The round tip makes them especially useful when working with fragile parts or painted surfaces that should not receive marks. In the assembly of static models, positioning of decals, assembly of figures, or working with small parts in dioramas, this type of tweezers allows for a firm grip with minimal footprint on the material.
The anti-magnetic property is particularly practical when handling tiny metal parts: screws, rods, photo-etched fragments, or any element that with a magnetic tweezer would end up sticking and displaced from where it is intended to be placed.
Recommended Assembly and Use
To get the most out of these tweezers, it is advisable to clean them after each session with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Being solvent resistant, they can be cleaned with the usual workshop products without the risk of degrading the steel or altering the opening tension. Storing them in a case or holder prevents the tips from suffering impacts that could misalign them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are they suitable for handling wet decals or transfers?
Yes. The round tip and solvent resistance make them very suitable for sliding and positioning wet decals without tearing or marking them.
Can I use them with cyanoacrylate or plastic glues?
Yes. Being made of stainless steel, adhesive residues do not deteriorate the material. A quick clean with the appropriate solvent is sufficient to prepare them for the next use.
What is the difference between a round tip and a sharp straight tip?
The sharp tip offers more precision in gripping very specific points but can mark or pierce delicate materials. The round tip distributes pressure better and is safer for painted, resin, or fine photo-etched parts.
Are they suitable for working with electronics or magnetic components?
Yes. Their anti-magnetic nature allows for working close to electronic components or small metal parts without them adhering to the tool.
Do they require special maintenance?
No specific maintenance is required beyond regular cleaning. Being stainless steel, they do not rust with normal workshop use.
