Pros: These are absolutely essential for soldering on those tricky little SMD components. Static safe! Ends are super pointy!
Feels pretty solid and just very easy to use. Even looks fairly professional. Excellent price as expected of DX.
Cons: Tips could still be sturdier - I've still bent them once or twice.
Other Thoughts: Don't prick yourself - it will hurt...
I laughed at the other review that said it was perfect for removing splinters from yourself - I suppose it would work though.
Bottomline: An truly professional product for an excellent price.

Pros: This is an excellent set of tweezers that really feels semi-professional when used. They feel 'soft', not stiff, which is important when you're doing your best to position a tiny SMD part on a board, for example. I was very pleasantly surprised by the excellent alignment of the tips - no small feat, considering how sharp they are.
Cons: The steel they seem to be made of does not exactly seem the strongest stuff on earth. So they're not very useful for forceful application, e.g. pulling off a pin from a dense soldered SMT part.
Price is not exactly low - I can get tweezers in a local store for less than that - but at least the quality is better than average.
Other Thoughts: Watch out for the sharp points, you can hurt yourself if not careful.
Bottomline: Excellent semi-pro tweezers for handling surface mount components, and other delicate small items. Reasonable price and quality far above the average for 'common people' tools.

Pros: - Excellent build quality.
- They are sharp.
- Tilted tips are better than straight in many situations.
- Black looks cool ;)
Cons: - a bit pricey.
Other Thoughts: They look and feel truly professional and do their job. Excellent for working with smd components. Comes with a piece of rubber tube to protect the tip and your you from poking holes in yourself.
Bottomline: Buy these if you work with electronic components or just need some quality tweezers.

Pros: Very fine tip
Nice machined tip finish
ESD insulated handles
Good angle to tips makes it easy to get at hard-to reach things
Not magnetic
Strong enough to not bend or feel cheap
Cons: None that I can think of
Bottomline: These are very nice tweezers. Great build quality. They are ESD safe and not magnetic, so they are great for working with electronics. The sharp, bent tip makes it really easy to work with small components. These are generally my go-to tweezers for most jobs. Overall great quality for the price.
