Working in an electronics lab, we do micro soldering and I came across the tool pictured. No Idea what it's is for. I'm guessing its some tool for holding or removing chips as you rework a PCB. I don't even know what to call it (forked flat plate tweezers?) so looking around got me a lot of cosmetic tweezers and normal component handling but I can't seem to find this shape.



Can anyone help?



It's not a major issue just a nice to know if someone else knows.

          Looks like some wafer tweezer  



          These tweezers are especially designed for the handling of delicate and fragile silicon wafers, scintillation discs, glass slides, coverslips etc.

            +1, I also use these often. It would be worth mentioning how they're used. Namely that the flat of a wafer is aligned with the recessed portion of the tip of the tweezers.
