I just received this tool today.First this item and the others I ordered arrived quickly for a ground shipment. Starting with the base, it has nice weight to it. The tweezer is a good solid size to it for holding items steady. The portion of the tweezer that holds whatever your working on has very fine file type feel on the inside to keep items it's holding from sliding around. My hands have tremors so this will help me be able to paint figures and such much more accuretly. I would suggest this item for help when you need that third hand.
