Vallejo Tools Flat Rounded Stainless Steel Tweezers (120 mm)
Small decals, photo-etch parts, clear lenses, cockpit details, and tiny model components can be frustrating to place with regular pointed tweezers. One wrong squeeze and the part can jump across the bench, bend, or pick up marks before it even reaches the model. Vallejo Flat Rounded Stainless Steel Tweezers 120mm are made for those delicate jobs where controlled grip matters more than sharp pressure.
These Vallejo T12007 tweezers use a flat, rounded tip profile that helps hold small parts with a wider contact area, making them especially useful for water-slide decals, photo-etch, resin details, small plastic parts, and fragile accessories. The 120 mm length gives enough reach for cockpits, engine bays, dioramas, miniature bases, and other tight spaces without feeling oversized on the workbench.
Key Features & Hobby Benefits
- Flat rounded tips: Help grip delicate parts without concentrating pressure on one sharp point.
- Stainless steel construction: Durable, easy to clean, and suitable for regular hobby bench use.
- Anti-magnetic design: Useful when working near tiny metal parts or small electronic-style components.
- Solvent-resistant tool surface: Practical around decal solutions, hobby thinners, and extra thin cement when handled with care.
- 120 mm working length: A comfortable size for controlled placement in scale models, miniatures, terrain, and diorama work.
Beyond the Label
These tweezers are not only for picking up parts. Their flat rounded profile makes them especially useful when sliding larger decals into position, holding photo-etch while test-fitting, placing tiny resin stowage, aligning clear parts, or adjusting small details after glue has been applied. Compared with very sharp tweezers, the rounded tips are less likely to pinch too aggressively into soft decals or fragile painted parts.
They are also useful during batch assembly. When working on infantry, vehicle accessories, cockpit parts, or model railroad details, Vallejo Flat Rounded Stainless Steel Tweezers 120mm give you a safer grip than fingers while keeping glue, paint, and skin oils away from the surface.

Pro Tips from the Studio
| Use Case | Expert Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Water-slide decals | Use the flat rounded tips to guide the decal gently into position instead of pulling from one sharp corner. |
| Photo-etch parts | Hold the part close to the bending or placement point to reduce flex and improve control. |
| Tiny resin or plastic details | Use light pressure only. Let the wider tip surface help grip the part instead of squeezing harder. |
| Glue work | Keep the tips clean after contact with cement, thinner, or decal solution. Wipe and dry them before storage. |
| Painted parts | Avoid gripping freshly painted or uncured surfaces. Let the finish cure first to reduce the risk of marks. |
Expert Tip for Decal Application
For larger water-slide decals, use these tweezers to slide the decal from the backing paper onto the model instead of grabbing the decal film directly. Once the decal is on the surface, adjust it with water, decal setting solution, or a soft brush. The flat rounded tips give you more control while reducing the risk of tearing or folding the decal.
