Abarger16 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Im curious what other people use and where you got it from ive been looking at amazon for a good pair of long forceps and a long pipette but havent been sold on anything yet. I dont like putting my hands in the water for fear of whats on them. I work in an industrial environment and have been worried about contamination of my dt.

obrien.david.j Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I use a variety of tongs/grabbers/etc for when I'm trying to not get my hands wet. But generally, I get my hands in. Picked up my most recent addition at MACNA in early Sept, Titanium Tongs. My stainless steel ones never seem to stay clean/stainless, unless I rinse in fresh water after every use. So I'm going to try these. But this company had a big selection available. Check out the last picture, of the guy holding his latest addition. Long the jaws open remotely. Looked good to pick corals up that may have fallen behind rocks. (My tank needs to grow out more before I can't easily reach the bottom, so I didn't pick them up) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon sells them, although finding the long ones was hard. It seems they do sales through ebay as well. Try a couple of these searches on both ebay and amazon. Tamsco stainless tongs 24" Aquarium Tongs 24" aquarium tweezer BTW, their website is soo slooow I couldn't even use it. http://www.tamsco.biz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Turns out, I brought a hard copy of their catalog home with me. Here's the relevant info, should help with some google searches. And last page is MSRP price list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
