DR Instruments Featherweight Entomology Forceps Wide-Points for a Delicate enetology Work. Flexible Stainless-Steel – Bend & Re-Bend.

They are smaller than I expected but the light weight of them and flexibility are going to be a game changer for my entomology work. Super stoaked to get using them. thank you!!

I have some of these from bioquip, but these are a lot more tougher. These are not meant for plucking hair, entomology is the study of insects haha

Before buying these me and my lab mates were sharing a few pairs of bioquip forceps, which are very similar to these but a bit more expensive. So I ordered these to have my own pair. I was surprised when they arrived, I received two pairs of forceps, one is wide tipped as shown in the pictures and one is narrow tipped. I use soft forceps daily for handling live insects, and I prefer softest ones as more rigid forceps can damage the bodies of insects. Oddly, the wide pair I received is significantly stiffer than the bioquip ones, while the more narrow pair is nice and soft. I never use the wide ones as they are too stiff, but the narrow ones are good. So for $7 I got one good pair of forceps I use all the time, and one pair that I don't use. Amazon provides much quicker shipping than bioquip, but for $6 each you can get the bioquip ones. These work, but I will get the bioquip wide tip featherweight in future.

Using a forceps and it works great. From photo I thought it was 2 but only 1.

The media could not be loaded. These are interesting. They don't bend all that easily as adversitised. They are a bit more stiff than I would have thought. They seem to pick up well despite not opening the best. They don't seem any more useful than tweezers I currently use, which aren't entomology tweezers. The ends aren't as long as I'd have liked but they were cheap, and for good reason. Really a cut and bent piece of metal. I'm not all that satisfied, but I mean, they may work. The thickness is okay. About what I imagined, but they bend back into place automatically instead of staying where I bent them.

These are perfect for working with small and delicate objects.

Nice forceps, I work with ticks, it is very useful for me. I also have bought narrow tip forceps, great pair.

I purchased this for my Grandaughter who is into entomology, so these light-weight tweezers will come in handy while working with delicate parts.
