When should I choose Curved over Straight pinsettes?

Straight tweezers are the all-rounder for planting in open areas of the tank. Curved tweezers give extra reach and control in tighter spaces: around hardscape, in angled corners, and for placing thicker plants into hard-to-reach gaps.

Slightly Serrated Tips

Finely serrated tips provide a gentle, secure grip on single stems and tissue culture plantlets, so plants do not slip out while being pushed into the substrate.

Straight & Curved Ergonomics

Choose Straight for general planting in open areas of the tank, or Curved for tighter spaces, around hardscape, and angled areas where extra reach and control are needed.

UNS Precision Aquascaping Tweezers: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between pinsettes and tweezers?

Nothing: “pinsettes” is the aquascaping name for long planting tweezers. The UNS pinsettes are 25 cm tweezers with slightly serrated tips, in Straight or Curved.

Are UNS pinsettes suitable for planting tissue culture plants?

Yes. The fine, slightly serrated tips hold small tissue culture portions, such as Hemianthus callitrichoides (Cuba), securely enough to push them into the substrate without crushing the stems.

How long are the UNS aquascaping tweezers?

Both the Straight and the Curved UNS tweezers are 25 cm (10 inches) long, which UNS describes as a great all-purpose size for aquascaping.

Are UNS aquascaping tweezers available in South Africa?

Yes. Jungle Aquatics stocks UNS Precision Aquascaping Tweezers in Straight and Curved in South Africa. Check live stock and pricing on jungleaquatics.com, then collect from the Broadacres showroom in Fourways, Johannesburg.
