Tweezers are generally a welded two piece leaf spring apparatus designed to pull fine hairs from the face. Another use is to pick up very tiny objects. Tongs are shaped like tweezers but are much larger and have a coil spring at the junction of the two arms. Tongs are designed for remote handling of objects, generally food.
