Abstract: The invention relates to tweezers made of light weight metal (10) and having two pincers (12, 14) each of which forms a head part (13) on one of their ends and can be reversibly and temporarily brought together on their other end by manually applying a closing pressure; the tweezers (10) preferably consist of extruded light weight metal and are embodied as a single pierce. A closed novel extrusion profile (60) with an approximately tweezers-shaped cross-section is preferably used in the production of the tweezers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pair of tweezers (12) with a protective sheathing (11) serving as a packaging; the pair of tweezers has two legs (121, 123) resiliently connected with each other and having ends (122, 124) spaced apart when the pair of tweezers is not in use and which come into contact with each other under the impact of a closing pressure; the protective sheathing (11) consists essentially of a tubular body made of a flexible polymer material, at least partially enclosing said pair of tweezers (12) and having a slit (111, 112) extending in a longitudinal direction and being spread by a pair of tweezers (12) pushed into the protective sheathing (11); the pair of tweezers and the tubular body are dimensioned such that the pair of tweezers is held laterally in the protective sheathing and can be removed from the protective sheathing only by manually further spreading the slit.
