Hold tiny parts hands-free while you glue, paint or test-fit. The Expo Tools 79020 self-closing (cross-lock) straight tweezer gently clamps parts when you release pressure, so you can position details precisely and let them stay put without hand strain. Insulated handles give a comfortable, secure grip for long bench sessions.

Ideal uses for railway modellers

  • Clamping handrails, lamp irons and etched parts while adhesive cures

  • Holding figures, number/works plates and castings for precise placement on platforms and footbridges

  • Steadying LED legs, resistors and fine decoder wires during installs

  • Acting as a temporary “third hand” for decal placement and weathering touch-ups

  • Picking and placing static-grass tufts, signs and tiny lineside details without smudging

Why this self-closing tweezer

  • Reverse-action (self-closing) holds parts without continuous squeezing—great for long, delicate jobs

  • Straight, fine tips for accurate placement in tight spaces like cabs, bogies and coupler pockets

  • Insulated handles improve grip and comfort at the bench or trackside

  • 6.5 inch (~165 mm) length offers reach without bulk
