Forceps are a hinged instrument used for grasping and holding objects. Forceps are used when fingers are too large to grasp small objects or when many objects need to be held at one time while the hands are used to perform a task.
The forceps have handles that can be held in place by the interlocking teeth on each handle. They have a curved nose and measure about 10 inches long. They work great for holding paracord while working on projects.
