Review on Capetsma Aquascape Stainless Aquarium Tweezers by Brittany Turner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Requires a steel handle to avoid hand cramps.

I bought these for a small aquarium with 2.6g plants. They're long enough to get the job done without dipping my hands too deep into that little basin, or they could if I didn't have to hold them so close to the working ends. I have strong hands, but just to keep the stems of my pants clean I had to choke on the tweezers and squeeze them so hard my arm spasmed before I was done. Even so, I still lost stems many times, so it took me 3 or 4 times as long to place everything and I just couldn't be as accurate as I wanted. Very frustrating. Having to put my hands so far into the tank made the job really difficult - there just wasn't enough room for my hands, landscape, plants and tools. 2 stars because the spatula is awesome (hard to spoil) and the scissors work. so i will keep it. But I will look for surgical instruments (the size of a horse). More expensive, but also allows gentler handling of fragile plants.

Pros
  • Essential Aquarium Starter Kit. Ideal for precision pruning, rearranging, tending, cleaning, pruning, aquatic plant care, will not affect other decorations/plants or precise feeding sites without unnecessarily dirtying the water or getting wet.
Cons
  • Good but not great
