I use a disposable box opener. Prick the side of the jumper and lift it out. The flea market guys that sell the hemostats, that are quite good as mini vice-grips for soldering, often sell dental picks as well. These might work better for some applications.

However! When fishing, hemostats really do the trick for removing those fish hooks for catch-and-release.

In Canada a good source for them is Princess Auto. They have several types and sizes. http://www.princessauto.com I’ve been using hemostats for different things for years.

If you are going looking for medical grade instruments, you are going to pay premium dollar for them. Maybe HMC Electronics or Mouser might be a source of better ones. I used to have a pair of curved serrated jaw locking hemostats that had a scissor blades too- cant find those anymore for a good price. The ones from the website I listed are the hobby grade.

They are great for a third hand. Try www.widgetsupply.com for hemostats and other goodies. Great service and decent shipping rates.

Anyways, I have to agree - hemostats are awesome! I work in the insides of my computers a lot, and there's nothing easier to use than hemostats for moving small jumpers or leads around. Aside from that, these are great for when I clumsily drop a screw into a cramped place where a magnet retriever is not a good idea (like the inside of a computer). Unfortunately I can't seem to find a nice pair at retail stores. I ordered two pairs from an industrial supplier once and was sadly disappointed at the quality of the tools. Does anyone have any favorite brands/suppliers? That’s a nice bright and colorful photo!

Either is really fine for me though. Hemostats are ok but for jumpers I like to use tweezers. Either is really fine for me though.
