4-Piece Cross-Lock Soldering Tweezers Set with Third Hand Stand
A complete jewellery soldering kit — four 160mm cross-lock tweezers with insulated wood-fibre grips, plus a weighted third-hand stand with an adjustable clamping arm. Everything you need to hold a ring, chain link, bezel or finding steady while you bring a torch or soldering iron to the joint.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- 1 x Flat / spatula tip tweezer — broad contact, ideal for sheet and flat stock work
- 1 x Straight fine-tip tweezer — precise pick-up of jump rings, small findings, bezel wire
- 1 x Angled / bent-tip tweezer — access awkward angles, keep your hand clear of the flame
- 1 x Curved hook-tip tweezer — holds chains and rings naturally without slipping
- 1 x Weighted third-hand stand — circular 3-tier metal base with adjustable arm and locking screw
THE CROSS-LOCK MECHANISM
Unlike standard tweezers that you squeeze to close, these are reverse-action — they are CLOSED at rest and you squeeze to OPEN them. Once you've placed the work, you let go and the tweezers grip the piece firmly on their own. That's exactly what you need when soldering: both hands free, the work held rock-steady, no muscle fatigue from pinching for minutes at a time.
THIRD-HAND STAND
The stand takes any of the four tweezers (or your own tools) in its clamping head. The circular weighted base keeps it stable even when the tweezer arm is extended. Tighten the wing screw to lock the angle, loosen to reposition. Perfect for:
- Holding a ring while you solder a join
- Clamping wire while you bend it to shape
- Gripping a PCB while you solder connectors
- Holding a decal or small part on a scale model

IDEAL FOR
- Jewellery making & repair — torch soldering rings, chains, bezels, findings, jump rings, clasps
- Silversmithing — holding sheet and wire stock while flame working
- Chain repair — curved hook tip grips chain naturally
- Electronics / PCB — holding components while soldering, heat sink for temperature-sensitive parts
- Model making — clamping tiny parts for gluing or painting
- Watchmaking & hobby work — hands-free holding of parts during finishing or assembly
WHY THE FIBRE HANDLES?
The insulated wood-fibre handles stay cool in the hand even when the jaw end is hot from a soldering torch — so you can reposition the tweezers safely mid-job. Fibre handles also absorb less heat up the shaft than solid plastic, keeping the grip comfortable on longer jobs.
CARE & USE
Let the tips cool naturally after soldering — don't quench hot steel in water (it will weaken the temper). Wipe clean with a soft cloth. A light touch of oil on the cross-lock pivot every few months keeps the action smooth. The third-hand stand wing screw can be tightened with fingers — no tools needed.
