Something general/all-purpose, for holding assorted items like bracelet screws, taking small parts out of packages without damaging them, etc. thanks.

 

I find good quality (Dumont etc) brass tweezers are better than steel for general work and don't seem to slip as much.

If you prefer steel, I'd still recommend Dumont, even if they are slightly more expensive.

Great, thanks Jim.
