Cynamed T/C Adson Plastic Surgery Forceps 4.75" Straight Fine Point with Tungsten Carbide Inserts Surgical Veterinary Instruments with Gold Handle (1X2 Teeth, Adson Tissue Forceps, TC)

I use the serrated dressing forceps as a sewing aid (for fabrics, not people). They are far superior to the purpose built tweezers sold at fabric stores. I use them to thread needles, pick out thread when using a seam ripper, and tugging out the occasional rats nest from a sewing machine stitch plate.I find that I have to tweak each tip slightly with a pair of pliers. They work best when the serrated tips are perfectly parallel.They are stamped "German Stainless" which doesn't really mean anything. They are ferromagnetic, as are many varieties of stainless steel. This is a desirable quality for me as I frequently drop things (pins, needles, these forceps) on the floor and can pick them up with a telescoping magnet.These are nice and stiff, presumably hardened. I've only lost one pair to a fall--one of the tips broke off. At the price I can buy several pairs, and don't mind that they are prone to fracture. Such is the tradeoff between hard and ductile steel.Cynamed also makes a version of these with a bent tip. Those to are excellent. I use the bent tip version when threading my serger.

Bought multiples. Good quality. Like the grippy teeth.

Using this for suture practice. I like how it actually holds the needle well. Some of the adson tissue forceps in suturing kits have a gap which makes it hard to handle the needle. This one doesn't! So it closes well and is nice to practice with. If you don't want to invest in something like this for practice, just use the normal Adson forceps without teeth.

Quite durable, tip gets a bit discolored. Overall happy with the purchase.

Good product and delivery on the date as promised.

I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have among my tweezers a pair with serrated tips. Sometimes you really need to have a good grip on something, and need to do it with a thin form factor (so no pliers). These are great For those times.

The metal these are made of is very poor quality, and they bend very easily.

I bought because the one that I had could not grasp the suture needle. This grips perfectly.
