Hartman Alligator Forceps 3.5" - High Quality, Long Lasting, Professional ENT Tools, 5 Piece Set, Ear Loop Design

This set appears to be excellent quality. The alligator clip closes and each half mates perfectly. Good purchase. You might check for any rough or sharp edges that might need smoothing as other people have mentioned in reviews, but mine were all fine.

The three currets are basically a stainless wite loop. Not sharp at all, they are very sturdy. The tweezers and alligator forceps are good I did tune them up with a file as they weren't as perfect as I wanted/needed. All in all very good tools.

I do a lot of DIY repair work, also macro photography and occasional fly tying. There have been many times I’ve needed to get a grip on something tucked into a tight space where needle nose pliers just won’t penetrate or where tweezers just aren’t strong enough. Alligator forceps are ideal for this purpose. They will also be helpful when arranging very tiny photoshoots or tying small flies. This pair offers a good grip and a small profile. The finish seems a bit rough for a piece of medical equipment but a non-issue for me since I don’t need to sterilize it. The tweezers include with this kit also have a small profile and good gripping surface. I don’t have much use for the loops but I expect I’ll repurpose them somehow.Full Disclosure: I acquired this as a Vine user.

Good quality

Muy bien producto igual al que anuncia

Quality was okay for the price. Didn't rust after sterilization which was good.

Missing one of the 5 pieces (the bayonet, long tweezers) and the 3 loop tools I received do not match the pictures in the product description (cheap wire loop vs. solid steel, durable, all one piece tools). Disappointed, for sure! That said, the alligator forceps seem nice.
