I get it... I've had a good run with it. I won't toss it away because of sentimental reasons. I've got others from Harbor Freight but will order another type I found at scalehobbyist - fine point curved/slant tweezers.

Losing a long time friend...
He's been with me through good times and bad in all my years of building model kits. A pair of tweezers that was given to me at 8 years old by my grandfather who steered me into building model kits. It was very sentimental to me because he knew there was something I wanted to do as a hobby. And it was my good pair too!

Re: Losing a long time friend...
50+ years on a pair of tweezers is pretty good. I have a few fishing lures like this. They are so beat up from catching hundreds of fish. I'll never get rid if them but they are relegated to the display only.
Re: Losing a long time friend...
Don’t pitch them. Do you have. Any contacts that could spot weld them?

Let's all have a moment of silence for the tweezers.

Nope.. Gorilla glue doesnt work. Don't own a spot welder either. I know that "could" work.
