pincers (Ithink you call it that)

[Connemmara]

No not the crab ones - I need to change tubing on my hearing aid you know the little tube that runs from the mould to aid. For years I have been doing my own but the hole in the mould is too tiny to pull through and I need stainless steel pincers to grab the little rubbery bit. Can anybody tell me where I can buy one of these little things - am going into town tomorrow - thanks for any answers.

Needle Nose Pliers?

You can get miniature pliers or tweezers in a kit to repair spectacles - try the chemist or optician - or your local DIY shop might sell mini tweezers for electrical work.

Is this what you are meaning?

thanks all I do have mini eye thingmajigs - but I think I need the diy as they do need to be very fine. bye for now. Would a hearing place sell me one (the pliers) I mean usually when you go into one of these places they try to sell a hearing aid.

howard your post and mine crossed - they look the job but they seem to be out of them. I am tired and just about to log out but will look online tomorrow. Thanks for your answers anyway. Bye for now and night night

I don't really understand why you would need pliers for that job? What has changed to cause you to need pliers after all this time? Is your new tube of a different gauge or what.....
I simply cut a long taper on the tube then with a little oral lubrication and a slight twisting action it slps through just fine!
Just be sure the tube is the same as the old....
Happy tubing...;-)

Make that taper as long as possible without leaving the tube short when you cut it off ...!
