Dumont Pattern No. 2 Tweezers are genuine Swiss-made precision instruments designed for general use in watchmaking, jewelry, and fine assembly work. With sturdier points that are slightly wider and thicker than the Pattern No. 1, the No. 2 features indented shanks and flat edges for secure gripping with either the tip or side. The plain-finished points deliver a fine, reliable tip. Available in five grade and metal combinations — choose from High Precision (HP) or Electronic Quality (EQ), across carbon steel, stainless steel, Dumostar alloy, and anti-magnetic stainless steel.
Features
- General-use pattern with sturdier, slightly wider and thicker tips than No. 1 tweezers
- Indented body with flat edges for gripping objects with tip or side
- Plain-finished points with a fine tip
- High Precision (HP) grade features extensive hand finishing — preferred by the world's finest watchmakers
- Electronic Quality (EQ) grade offers excellent everyday performance with reliable assembly-work construction
- Carbon Steel option provides maximum strength and edge retention with proper care
- Stainless Steel (INOX) resists rust and corrosion while maintaining a long-lasting edge
- Dumostar alloy hardened to a minimum Rockwell 61 — magnetic-resistant, acid and rust resistant, superior edge longevity
- Anti-Magnetic Stainless Steel (Dumoxel) is non-magnetic, corrosion and acid resistant — suited for sensitive industrial environments

Notes
- Carbon steel tweezers are magnetic and susceptible to rust — store with a light coating of oil or under a lightly oiled protective cloth.
- Dumostar tweezers are the top-of-the-line alloy in the Dumont lineup, combining strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
- HP grade tweezers are recommended for precision watchmaking; EQ grade is well-suited for assembly and general bench work.
