These fine jaw tongs are very inexpensive. Runs smoothly and is well made. I have a small complaint that the ends of the sponges aren't quite symmetrical, one side is slightly thinner than the other. It doesn't matter except maybe for very fine work with tiny surface mount components for example, but for 99% of the tasks it works fine. For 10 times the price, you get pliers with a perfectly formed tip, but even that isn't necessary.
