Large E-Z Offset Tweezer
$2.95

These standard operating tweezers are 7 inch long stainless steel and require only a minimal amount of hand strength to squeeze closed. The pointy, not sharp, offset tip makes it easy to see the object you want to pick up. Quality construction allows for use as a precision tool capable of precise work. Pick-up paper clips, our new mini erasers, rice, etc. A great, highly durable addition to any “tool” collection.

Plastic Tweezers
$1.50
P2622
At only 4 inches long, this “grabby, grippy” new hand tool is just perfect for little fingers. Specifically engineered to maintain alignment, the grooved plastic handle also provides tactile and visual cues for finger placement. Tip is pointed but not sharp and lined with non-slip teeth for holding items. Opens only 1/2 inch, so subtle and refined movement of the thumb and fingers are reinforced. Also great for working on midrange control of arms, midline crossing and range of motion. Try picking up small items including spiny balls, letter beads, colored rice, etc.

Quantity   
Resistive Reverse Offset Tweezer
$2.95
P9966
Same concept as above but longer in length and more resistive to squeeze open. It also has a bent or offset point giving a clearer view of the object to be picked up. Wood-like overlay provides clear indication of finger placement for best balanced operation. Great tool for building hand strength and endurance.
