The use of tweezers allows for accurate and beautiful planting. They are also a precision tool that allows for replanting, thinning, and detailed handling when maintaining aquascapes. Let us introduce the evolution of tweezers, an essential tool in Nature Aquarium.

Tools that enabled precise planting

In the days when there were no dedicated tools for planting aquatic plants, aquatic plants were planted with fingers. Since the development of tweezers specially designed for aquatic plants, tweezers have become an indispensable tool in the creation of beautiful planted aquariums. The layout tweezers were made having a sharp, precise tip that can handle even the finest aquatic plants, including undergrowth, and handcrafted metalwork was required to realize three functions, such as the tip, the grip, and the spring from a single piece of metal. The Pro-Pinsettes have been improved with a sleek and stylish design, and the same tip precision and spring strength required for Nature Aquarium have been achieved. The Pro-Pinsettes are available in four sizes, ranging from 160 to 300 mm in length, and are designed for use in a variety of aquarium tank sizes and planting situations. The Pro-Pinsettes series also includes two special concepts, the triangle type and the curved type, which were developed and marketed as highly specialized products. The Pro-Pinsettes Grip type is designed for easy planting of rosette-type aquatic plants such as Echinodorus, Lagenandra, and aquatic plants with thick base such as Vallisneria.
