I've got a couple of these http://www.wiltronics.com.au/catalogue/191731/science/tweezers-and-forceps (4th down, TL1054) and some that they no longer stock. Stainless but has 'non-magnetic' written on them. They don't attract filing. Whoever was paying $30 for them is paying too much. All the others I have seem to be chrome plated steel. Amusingly one set of these has only one arm that's magnetic, with patience I can pick up a 2x5mm LED. I should claim to have discovered a monopole. Tony
