OP, avoid cheap tweezers. Learned that 'lesson' the hard way... and i never found that teeny tiny part ever again. Ever. Poof, gone, like a fart in the wind.

While I love my old Fontax tweezers, and have many Dumont and Bergeon of a wide variety of patterns and materials, the most important thing with tweezers is how you dress them. If the gripping surfaces are worn any tweezer will fail to do its job.
Pattern and material are important, of course, but a good stone and a good file are paramount.
If I could have only one set of tweezers for work, I’d pick a Dumont 3c in Dumostar and a good 6” file, #4 pattern.
However, almost any cheap set of tweezers can be dressed by someone with much experience to outperform expensive tweezers on the bench of someone with little experience.
