    Tweezers I have seen in the local LFS's in JHB - usually in the reptile feeding side. Now curved 38 - 52 cm scissors that I have not seen in a local LFS.

    Planting delicate plants like Glosso and HC can only be done with tweezers.

    No, you do not understand the question. shihr asked why do I want them longer than Dolphin's 27cm. So I turned the question around and asked him why do they make them longer.

    Just being silly a bit on this lovely Friday afternoon, with all you oaks sitting in offices! Shame, sorry for you and you cant even enjoy ncd!
