I was using the smart tweezers to verify a tiny SMT cap in my junk bin.
Guess I was holding it too tight and the cap slipped, became airborne and was never found. I wonder if the new breed of the smart tweezers has a lighter touch? Nice tool though for the most part. |

Some do eventually emerge from the other end, though, after time dilation into the future. I wonder if the new breed of the smart tweezers has a lighter touch? Nice tool though for the most part. I've a dinning room carpet a bit like that... Peas and peanuts just vanish, not to be found until they rattle up the vacuum cleaner hose sometime in the future. -- Best Regards: Baron. |

My Peak LCR meter has a tweezer attachment - also good for launching SMDs at faster than the eye can see velocities. |

Try dropping an 0603 resistor a bunch of times. 85% of the time it will land wrongside up. John |

I think you have to adjust the nut on the end of the handle to eliminate this problem. Which nut? ;-) -- For the last time: I am not a mad scientist! I m just a very ticked off scientist!!! |

That, of course, guarantees at least two trips to the parts bin with quantities failing to sum upon return. You've simply increased the work minimum, missing quantity distribution, and information entropy as to where the loss will occur, causing an expansion of the futile search area from the immediate work space to the entire path back to the bin, exponentially compounded by 'stuck on shoe' and related phenomena carrying the part to uncorrelated hinterlands. Dude, is that medicinal or home-grown? %-} Cheers! Rich |
