What It's Used for:
Tweezers make up for the fact that fingers are big and clumsy
when it comes to dealing with items on a 28-mm scale. They
can complete tasks that require the precise positioning of
objects. Decals owe their life to tweezers!
Outside of decals, tweezers are essential for gluing delicate
items in place. Affixing teeny tiny pieces of wargear, Battlefleet
Gothic bridges, embedded arrows, and purity seals to models
are just a few such examples of tweezer use.
Tweezers
are much better at this than your
fingers.
Place
rocks and tiny bits exactly where
you want 'em.
Maintenance:
Tweezers require no real maintenance. Just use them and put
them back in a location where they aren't going to be stepped
on or bent.
Glue
+ Tweezers = Get a new pair!
Don't
bend tweezers, it'll ruin them.
Don't
use tweezers for this task.
How NOT
to Use It:
Don't get your tweezers all mucked up with substances like superglue.
If you were to accidentally place tweezers into a small pool
of glue and forget about them, you're gonna need new tweezers.
Definitely don't use tweezers in any fashion that'll lead
to them getting bent up. One slight bend and they're not going
to be useful anymore. As tweezers are a precision tool, don't
use them on grunt jobs for which pliers would be better suited.
Finally, avoid the temptation to use tweezers for hair removal.
Sure that big black hair has been sticking outta your buddy's
forehead for 5 years now, but don't risk damaging your tweezers
on such a tough job. Try using pliers instead!
