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.

          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.
