i need a decent tweezer set since i broke the tip off of one of the 3 i have..i saw a stella set on ebay..If they are the same ones pictured the points all look very good, much better than other inexpensive sets online...Has anyone used them before? Worth buying? Does anyone know of a tweezer set that is under 60.00 dollars that is worth looking into...

well i finally recieved these tweezers after 2monthes of waiting...i am glad that in the meantime i bought a few very good conidtion dumont carbon steel ones all very nice...anyway this set is only good if you don't want to spend 400 for a set and 2 if you don't care if they break...the points aren't bad but need to be sharpen... the feel of the tweezer itself it poor, i am only using maybe the one...out of the whole set...for the price you really can not complain but and the tips do line up and dont split when force is applied...no idea where they are made but i would say china or india...the number 5 is decent although i have a few dumonts so i never use it...onething  i did notice is there isn't alot of play in the tweezers, unlike other cheap tweezers that are so far apart from point to point you don't need alot of force to close them....i would rate these at about 5 out 10...10 being the best...if you need a cheap back up set or need a good starter set fast these are good enough for that ..like said they need to be sharpened and dressed.but for 30 dollars what the hell..stay away for the number 7,its pointless to use...STELLA TWEEZER SET GOOD BUY? well depends i rather get a few used dumont tweezers with good points...
