SURGICAL ONLINE Ultimate Hemostat Set, 8 Piece, Curved and Straight, Stainless Steel - Ideal for Fishing Forceps, Hobby Tools, Electronics, and Taxidermy

Excellent product at a great price!

The uses for these are too many to list them all. I love them when pulling those little tabs off bottles and other containers, clearing clogs, and grabbing things that my fingers can’t.

Great the stainless steel stiff

Dislike: does not do well with high heats. Yeah I know, they're not made to hot something you're torching....now.Putting aside my clear abuse of the product, it has been great having these for hobby and tools. They hold well, handle great and are durable until you hold something under a blow torch for a few minutes.

Fair warning: Don't get the impression these devices are surgical quality just because they are distributed by "SURGICAL ONLINE". By no stretch of anybody’s imagination do these devices even come close to precision. They are inconsistently manufactured, often the top jaw is not symmetrical and/or doesn’t align with the bottom jaw. Some of the curved units look as if they simply heated up straight devices and bent them in a vice while distracted by the local football match (i.e., soccer... these devices were fabricated in Pakistan).While a tad disappointed in all of this, they still work adequately for my intended purpose. I am using them to hold very small metal project pieces in place whilst I solder them. This requires minimal precision, and they serve as heat sinks during the process.The devices are certainly better for this purpose than the typical shop needle nose pliers. They eliminated the need for three hands. And… I don’t care if they are lost or damaged. After all, they cost less than a trip to my local fast-food establishment.However, if your own intended use is more sophisticated, you might be better off spending your money going to that fast-food facility while looking for more appropriate equipment.

This set of clamping hemostats are very strong and the jaws were perfectly aligned. These are not shiny stainless surgical steel, but are of a good steel. Not so shiny, but work great for hobby and mechanical purposed. I'm using them to service small engines, electronics, and where else I need a solid clamp or tweezers. I love the assorted sizes in both straight and slightly curved jaws.

I use these in my hobby of working on small engines. You can use them to clamp off fuel lines as well as pushing fuel lines into rubber grommets on the two cycle engines where the fuel line and air line goes through the grommet into the fuel tank. Lube the lines with small amount of WD-40 or light machine oil to help with insertion, then take the curved hemostats and reach inside the fuel tank and pull the lines to desired length.

They aren't surgical steel (I wouldn't consider using them in a "clinical, medical, lab or veterinary environment unless you aren't concerned about the patient surviving"). The grinding wasn't the best on a couple of them, but for picking up/holding things in my workshop they should be just fine. It is a nice assortment of lengths and curved and straight tips. I have two surgical hemostats that I acquired years ago that I have a use for fairly regularly, but they are both long and I sometimes need the medium and short lengths. If they break (as I suspect they will), they are cheap to replace.
