Much easier to form coil when the wire is at its hottest
Ok I get it
Thanks
I fire it until it glows red hot - then as I let go the fire button, while its still glowing but getting dimmer, I quickly try squeeze it. I suppose sometimes you can do as @Gazzacpt explained and tweeze before letting go the fire button.
I never thought of tweezing it while it was glowing and firing.
Hmmm...
I see....
Ok this will go into my Want list.
I dont think I really need it now though.

They are jhb only but will give them a call.
Give these a try - just ordered two this morning, being in the jewelry trade is paying off nicely:
R49 per unit...although i am not sure if it is ceramic or carbon fiber:

They do state "ceramic tip" on the website though - if its indeed "ceramic" then its a steal at R49.
ok just checked and these look very much like carbon fibre.... page 101:

I use these carbon fibre tip ones quite a lot in my trade.
I contacted them now, it is R49 excl vat and they said that they are ceramic
do they courier or post ?
and the rates ?

I registered an account with them and asked for a quote on a few items. How long do they take to get back to you?
just received the tweezers. 2 x total was 113.89
shipping will be through normal post for light items nation wide.
i am first going to test these guys tonight as i am really not sure ceramic can bend,
, so if the greater Parow area has a power outage tonight, please note it was me trying to light up a light bulb with tweezers.
Looks more like rubber, not ceramic. i might be wrong... but the pictures attached is the best i can do for now.

well as long as they dont melt or conduct electricity it's all good
I sent a request via the email, at 10:53 a PI came through on my email and that was it. no message just a pdf.
I replied and got an almost instant reply.
Before you order, let me test the tweezers.
I also explained to the bloke what it is going to be used for, as they are jewellery suppliers and seldom think outside the box.... so regarding temperatures i will test it out in our factory. if it melts.... i screwed myself out of R113.
If i blow up tonight...well then there is a funeral and i meet my maker.... and join Him on a vape
.in the meantime contact Daniel Buser:

Ok test no 1 temperature. .. lpg gas burner... ruined it. It is supposed to be rated for 1000°C lpg burns at almost double that. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/flame-temperatures-gases-d_422.html

Moer it into wall plug... niks gebeur nie. So I think the test is conclusive. ... you will not short it out. And as long as your kanthal reaches below 1000°C the R46 tweezers will be fine. Have to wait on my rba to test indefinitely.
