Planting tweezers often make planting small stems and other plants easier than using your hands. They allow you to get plants deeper into the substrate so plants can absorb nutrients and form a strong root structure. These particular tweezers are curved at the end to get plants into even the smallest spaces and for more control while planting at an angle. This is especially useful if you have a deep tank.
Makes Planting Easy
We chose these 10.5-inch stainless tweezers because of the nice angle at the end. This allows you to firmly grab stem plants, cryptocorynes, and swords and plant them as deeply as needed into the substrate. Why use your fingers to create a giant crater when you can use these thin, precision tips to create a hole just small enough for the plant without disturbing the surrounding area?
Perfect for Root Tabs
If your root-feeding plants are turning yellow, make sure to add some Easy Root Tabs. Use these tweezers to insert them directly under and around the plant to make sure they get plenty of nutrients right where they need it.
A very convenient tool for placing plants into sand and gravel. These tweezers are not absolutely necessary, but if you have a lot of plants like me they sure make life easier. Especially if you have any inhabitants that occasionally uproot things, this tool makes putting them back or adding new plants much easier.

I completely revamped my 20 gallon tank and these tweezers were very useful for getting the plants set in soil and sand.

Just Good Tweezers
Simple tool, but well made. Heavy gauge steel feels good in the hand. Not flimsy and not too stiff. I thought I would want a longer set but after a couple days of planting and rearranging I'm convinced they're just right. They're long enough to reach tight corners, and short enough to weave in through spider wood branches.
