Cost Effective, ESD safe, Anti-magenetic, BEST Tweezers - More Gadget Tech Thoughts

Welcome, this is another video with More Gadget Tech Thoughts.
This time I review the BEST set of ESD safe tweezers that wont break you at the bank. Unlike 3 sets before this one, the others lied about ESD safe, and lied about anti-magnetic. Then I finally found this set that is not that expensive, and great to use. Watch the video to see what makes these tweezers so good.
Here is the link to the tweezers I reviews in this video, the store I purchased them from was called "Horsebiz".

For the record, it does matter if your tweezers/screwdrivers are ESD safe even on an ESD mat and using a wrist strap. Insulated tweezers will hold a charge on their surface even if sitting on an anti static mat or being used in the hands of a grounded person. Why? Because insulators do not conduct electricity, the static charge will remain on the tool for a very long time.

Have ya ever tried Wiha tweezers? Or any other German brand?

These are probably still the most bang for the buck, but I do use the Hakko ones also a lot these days. They are not esd coated, but I figure if I have the esd mat, the PCB holder conducts to the mat also, the wrist strap and it’s all properly wired and grounded as well as my equiptment I’m using like the soldering iron then the IC’s should be ok. But to answer you question, no I haven’t tried any other brand besides 5 cheap set before I found these, and 3 Hakko ones I like.
This is when I first started the channel, the goal was, and mostly still is testing cheaper adorable things that will do the job people can use as being a hibbiest. Would I recommend these for daily 8 hours a day, 40 days a week under heat, probably not. But now your not just a hobby, now it’s probably professional and full time. So paying extra for something that last longer with daily use makes sense at that point. But for the hobby and once a week use the cheaper ones work and let people get into the hobby cheaper.
If people decide to upgrade and go full time, great. I’m sure they will upgrade the equiptment and told also. Their enough channels recommending the $40 for a single tweezer and high end tools, but most people just tinkering, learning, and starting the hobby that might get board or not continue the hobby won’t go broke starting off with items I recommend and can decide if they want to continue and get serious later. Then they can make a more permanent investment.
I know I have some high end expensive stuff also now, but not until after a year of tinkering and learning. And I did not review the expensive stuff or recommend it for the beginner. I thought that’s what was missing, was the functional cheaper stuff. I think some don’t even try the hobby when they see the cost of the high end stuff other recommend, and that’s a shame.
Thanks for watching.

The Wiha look decent. I might try one or two.
But for others reading comments, I would still suggest a cheaper decent set with multiple ones for starting. Figure out what ones you end up using the most. Then buy a more expensive tweezer just for the main 2 or 3 you use the most and not $130 on a whole set when 6 or 7 might hardly get used. That how I ended up with 2 Hakko ones, these are the two I use the most so I spent extra in these two instead of buying a whole expensive set and most of them collecting dust. But until you spend time under the microscope, in the hobby, you dint know what ones you will use the most for what you do. And if what you do charges you still have the cheap set with multiplemto choose from and see if another sale works for the new things your working on.

Hardest thing is to find a "Best" brand tweezers set in the internet!

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

I have to agree. I’ve debated on deleting the video and then they came back in stock. Now they are sold out again. I don’t know. I put links to help people find products, I do t get paid for people clicking on the links or anything like that .
I’ll jabe to watch the video again and see if it contains more I formation then just about one kind of tweezers, of it doesn’t maybe I’ll remove it. If I have time I’ll do another video on the important reasons to have food tweezers, then maybe remove this video.

I found this video useful though, I had a pair of tweezers made of sheet metal and I was wondering why it's so weak, now I see the difference between the two types, I think it's a good review anyways.
BTW I found this single pair of Best tweezers but I couldn't find the other models of the set:

Well after doing some stuff with a while set, you will notice you stick to 2 or 3 for the main things you do. That’s why I wanted a set first to know what works and what didn’t work for me. I’m slowly replacing the ones I used most with Hakko ones likemthe Hakko 7A-SA, or Hakko SA-SA, and maybe 2 more eventually.
ESD coating was important, until I was able to get better equipment, proper ESD mat grounded, and LCB holder. No if I have my ground strap on from the mat, the soldering station have proper grounding, the PCB holder is mostly metal bus uses parts from ESD mats to keep the board isolated (Hakko C1390C) and the mat iscolates it even more. So now ESD coated tweezers are that big of a deal for what I do. I still have a set for if I travel to a friends house or have to do a repair on the go.
Thanks for the feedback on the video,
Scott

Are these still available from Amazon or else where ???

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

As far as I can tell, the link is in the description of the video. They were not listed for a while, I think they were out of stock for 7 months so I think they are the same ones finally back in stock.

Gadget Review Videos they are no longer instock acan you please recommend another brand

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

OneTruthInc - Hello, they do keep going in and out of stock for some reason. I try to find things that are decent quality and affordable for the hobby but every time I find a good set of affordable tweezers they run out of stock. So it’s hard to recommend affordable sets. I’ve been using Hakko tweezers, they are not ESD safe but as long as you discharge yourself by touching a metal box like a grounded computer metal case, or have a ground strap or ESD mat with a ground strap it should still be ok. The ground strap will keep you discharged therefore your charge will not pass through the tweezers.
I guess I would recommend buying a cheap set to get a feel for the different types of tweezers and what ones you will use the most for the work you do. Once you know what ones work the best for you I would recommend the Hakko SA tweezers, they have good alignment with the tips, strong metal that can withstand hot air soldering, and affordable compared to other brands. I’ve included links for the two tweezers I seem to use the most, they last longer then cheap ones but don’t cost $25 each (or more like some brands). The iFixit tweezers also seem to hold up good over time as well.
Thank s for watching. I hope this helps,
Scott

P.S. Like all good things someone has made a copy or a fake of the product. Just be careful on the store you buy them from. I know tequiptment has authentic Hakko brand tweezers, but I have received a few fakes also from some amazon and Ebay sellers.
