Where do you get forceps?

[faverymi]

Fleabay your best best.

Name for them:

Hemostats, Needle holders, Sterilizations picks(bigger ones)

Hu-friedy, aesculap, SS white, miltex. Some of the better brands, really better quality steel.



Types

Kelly (like scissors) Castroviejo (you squeeze them with your whole hand), Mosquito (small )


That's off the top of my head.

Some say Giger used sexual references in his art. I sure can't see any.

LOL. There are some jobs in the trunk or under the dash that are really awkward, mostly because of access. But the locking clips on the hood struts really didn't seem that hard when I did them. Just line everything up and push the clips on with long-nose pliers.

Another option for forceps.

Forceps are any grasping tool. They can be tweezer like (Adson forceps) or plier-like for holding a sponge like the Foerster at the top.

Hemostats are a variety of forceps that lock and are used to control arterial bleeding among other things. They come in different shapes and sizes with a Kelly being a nice curve with taper and teeth and useful for cars. The lower clamp is a little bigger and is called a Mayo. I use one like that to gently clamp off fuel or vacuum lines.
