About This Project

The MetMo Precision Grip is a precision locking tweezer that combines a 1912-inspired mechanism with modern engineering to securely hold small parts without launching them. It features adjustable pressure, interchangeable jaws (including aluminium, stainless steel, and titanium options), and a 200-year guarantee on aerospace-grade materials. Designed for makers, modelers, and hobbyists, it offers versatile gripping for metalwork, soldering, wire shaping, and delicate tasks, with multiple jaw configurations for specialized use. The tool’s ergonomic design sits comfortably in the hand, reducing strain during prolonged use.

Key Highlights

▸ Patented 1912-inspired mechanism with modern engineering for superior grip and control.
▸ Adjustable pressure and interchangeable jaws (aluminium, stainless steel, titanium) for versatile use.
▸ Built to last with a 200-year guarantee, aerospace-grade materials, and precision machining.
