i am trying to keep my hand out of the tank as much as i can, so to change my filtercotton or fish out my bag of carbon i use tweezers. Nothing heavy duty required.Yeggi has a bunch: https://www.yeggi.com/q/tweezer/
ABS/Nylon printed tweezers do “ok” but PLA/PETG really lack strength depending on what you’re using them for.
Putting a set of metal tweezers in your tank for a few seconds to lets say 5min will not harm your tank. We need to just chill on overthinking things like this.i am trying to keep my hand out of the tank as much as i can, so to change my filtercotton or fish out my bag of carbon i use tweezers.

Now i use stainless ones but id rather not use metal in my tank.

I defiantly support the side to keep your hands out of the tank but even then I don't care as much anymore.
I use an old screw driver to kill vermitds There are a few spots of rust on it to.Just Own It
I know we are all consummate professionals so who will own up to some savagery. Who here has: 1. Suck started a siphon 2. Bare fisted something dead out of their tank 3. "Adjusted" salinity by throwing pure salt into return sock or somewhere else 4. Hand cleaned the skimmer cup 5. Dosed...www.reef2reef.com
LOL. Hence why I posted this.
316 Stainless is not going to hurt anything. For the contact times involved here you could probably use pure nickel tweezers with no effect. That said PETG should work for what you’re doing.
I know that a few seconds of contact most likely wont do anything, it's just that my pair of tweezers is over 30 years old and showing signs of rust and deterioration.+1 to just use metal tweezers. Spring for stainless if it’s an issue. Plastic tweezers are awful. You’re overthinking this one.
