I'm posting this here instead of the tool forum because I thought more people would see it. There is a tool available from Micromark that has made modeling a bit easier for me, they are called desprueing tweezers. They are really great for removing small parts from the sprues, in many cases there is little to no clean-up required. I have also been told they are good for photo etch but haven't tried because I don't want to dull them. They sell for $14.95. This might seem to be alot for a pair of "tweezers" but I've been using them about 4 months now and feel they are well worth it. This may be old news to many of you but I thought some people might be interested. Check out the web address below. (I'm not affiliated with Micro-Mark)

Cheers,

Good to know! I was checking them out just today.

In keeping with the tool subject. Just thought i would throw out that Etch mate has a new or supposedly new PE bending tool called The Etch mate.. I don't know if all have heard about it, but from what I hear it works great..It can be viewed at www.etchmate.com
It a little pricy, but like stated earlier people that have one say it worth the money. I am saving for one now or waiting for the sale to start..
