Short even for a 10 gallon tank. I still have to put my hand in when using

Bought this to put fertilizer capsules under my substrate. Works great.

I bought this so I can easily put my plants in the substrate without stressing out my fish. Works very well not just for plants but for positioning structure as well

These may be good for larger plants, but they do not hold stem plants well at all. A fellow hobbyist and I have both had problems with them. I could not recommend these to anyone.

I loved these tweezers once I figured out how to take off the fat, red tips at the ends (pliers and commitment). Good for a nano tank. You will get your hands wet. I like them better than the curved ones for planting in substrate, but it’s all personal preference. I’ve had them for a long time (this purchase was for my second fish room) and they have never rusted and are still as good as the day I bought them. Be sure to tap them closed at three time before each use. :)

I would be very upset if I paid in store retail for these, luckily Petco.com's price (w/store pick up) took some of the sting out of this purchase. First of all the coating is gimmicky, the second you breath on it, it starts to come off. My biggest complaint is the very terrible ergonomic design. These are supposed to be used to gently put a plant stem into substrate. Where the grip is (indicated by the grooves for your fingers) if far too close to the fulcrum to either have any feel for how hard you are squeezing, plus you have to squeeze so hard at an unnatural angle that it quickly becomes uncomfortable. In order to use the tool to be able to gently squeeze a plant you have to hold within 3 inches of the tips, so having the long handles are useless. Are there better choice out there yes, but price and availability at petco couldn't be beat. These will probably find their way down into the garage for small parts retrieval a task they are better suited for.

Very useful. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Very useful aquascaping tool; long enough that I don't have to put my whole hand up to my wrist in the water anymore, super helpful with reaching tiny nooks and corners in my tank and burying plants into the substrate. Even useful when placing the algae wafer for my snail in the front of the tank so I can watch!
