It has an overall length of 8 inches. I use them on a regular basis to remove dead leaves from my succulent plants. This tweezer is one of my favorites.
Succulents and Chopticks are two types of succulents.
These tweezers are a bit on the large side. These are what I use to keep my cacti in good shape, and they've proven to be one of my best investments so far. I'm sure you can use them to remove a human or pet's spine or glochids, but I'd recommend investing in a smaller set of tweezers so you can be more precise. A lighted magnifying glass is also a good investment to remove spines, especially if you get poked by those fine tiny hair-like spines from opuntia. I would also prefer to remove the item with a flat slanted tweezer rather than this type of tweezer.
The tweezers and the box do not have a manufacturer's mark. They seem to be in good condition. They are made of high-quality steel and have lasted a long time.

I'll admit that $20 for a metal pair of tweezers seemed a little excessive. However, the color is one of my favorites. They're also extremely well-made, with no sharp edges or burrs. They're long enough to fit between the leaves of many different plants. This allows me to clean up dead leaves on my large Crown of Thorns plant without being poked by 1-inch thorns. Thorns measure 2" in length. These lovely green tweezers make me smile every time I see them, and I'd probably buy more from this seller if she had other gardening supplies.
And this is my first year of leaf propagation. These tweezers are great for planting the babies close together without causing damage! I've used these to clean up dried up leaves that are impossible to reach without damaging the plant (you can see how densely planted my planters are). On a side note, I have a lot of spiders, which is great for keeping bad pests at bay, but I don't want to stick my fingers into any dark spaces, which this solves as well! I was using a bamboo set that was bulkier and didn't have any grip on it. The quality of this set is significantly higher. Strong steel with a nice long reach and a good grip. I am ecstatic! Plant aficionados, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
In most cases, this item will suffice; for example, if dead leaves, a stray piece of paper, or other foreign objects have become lodged among the sharp spines of a cactus, these are ideal for removing them. If, on the other hand, a plant grows up through the spines of a low-growing plant, I have a row of several barrel cacti with crabgrass growing up to or under them, and they aren't as effective as a growing plant. When I try to pull them out with tweezers as they grow up through the spines, they tear loose, leaving the rooted plant behind. I've since considered giving them a good soak before trying again, but they haven't yet reached the age where I can test this theory. Succulents that spread out and allow weeds to grow through them are a good example of this.
A succulent tweezer was something I'd never heard of before! But I'm not sure how I survived without it now. This long-pointed tool is one of my favorites. Who'd have guessed that the secret to pruning and cleaning succulent plant pots is a SUPER SIZED EYEBROW TWEEZER? My only gripe was the price. It's just an oversized brow tweezer, after all. But, in the end, I paid the price and I absolutely adore it!.
Do yourself a favor and don't make the same mistakes I did. I attempted to save money by purchasing some shoddy forceps. You'll simply be squandering your funds. Simply purchase these in the first place. They're fantastic, and I use them all of the time. Not only for my succulents, but also for a variety of other purposes in plant cultivation. br>The forceps for the chap? They're collecting dust in a drawer, and that's all they're good for; in fact, they've occasionally damaged my plants due to their flimsiness.
This is ideal for my crafting purposes—I. , making Christmas ornaments in the shape of Danish stars. The length is ideal, and the thin pointed tip is ideal for tucking the ends of the fabric into the folds.
You'll wonder how you ever got along without it once you've used it. It's the perfect weight, neither too heavy nor too light, and it's a great length for reaching. The tips are angled, making it easy to reach even the tiniest piece. My purchase made me extremely happy. br>I also used them to reach a piece of paper that had fallen between my console and car seat and was too far away to reach with my hand.
The money was well spent. They are powerful and have a good grip at the tips, allowing them to easily remove dead leaves.
