Name that tool!

I'm trying to figure out the 'name' of a specific tool so that I can pickup some online.

They are like tweezers that act as a easy clamping device. Not hemostats that lock. When you squeeze the handle together, they release. I have no idea what the heck they are called.

Oh...what this has to do with trains.... Old Williams E7 B&M and the plastic windows have come un-glued. Figured this type of tool would work very well to re-glue and hold in place until dried. I can wrap some teflon tape on the ends to prevent surface scratches. Simple and cheap...and now if I can figure out what they are called!

Have you looked at what Micro-Mark has to offer?

Some heat sinks are set up to open when you squeeze them. I don't know that they would work for your application.

Mark those are called Self Closing Tweezers. Can be found on Amazaon here.

Rod -

A picture is still worth a thousand words (minus the word count in my post!)

They are cross-locking and/or self closing tweezers! That's them!

Thank YOU!

Not being a tool expert (or even all that knowledgeable) I often page through catalogs like this hoping to learn more about the different tools and what they are used for. Micro-Mark is particularly good for this.
