These forceps have been expertly finished under 40x magnification and have the most finely executed points available. They are extremely light, superbly balanced, and have a gentle spring action. The shanks are specially designed with an arch which ensures maximum force to the tips. The tips close flat for 6mm from the points to give a large holding area. The bottom portion is slim to reduce their weight, and the fenestrated handle provides a secure grip and reduces their weight as well.
