Rust proof tank tools

[WiscoFishNut]

I'm hunting for some good rust proof tank tools. I had a set of supposedly stainless steel stuff that I used for trimming plants and whatnot in my FW planted tank, but they ended up showing rust spots in pretty quick order. I just ordered a pair of these ceramic scissors that look pretty promising, but on closer inspection the center "pin" that holds the blades in place looks like metal to me. I sent the company a request for clarification. Hoping it's just black/charcoal colored ceramic, but we'll see.

Anyone know of some good non-corrosive long tweezers and scissors? I need to get medieval on some GHA...

If its cheap Chinese made stainless it will most likely rust

Stainless is the best, but you need good stainless, not cheap stainless.

Stainless is perfect if you can get real stainless. I several pairs from my hospital they were throwing away they have lasted me probably 8 years now and no rust at all.

I got some cheap tongs from Pakistan that have rust spots on them so it’s not just China.

I've got a hydro dipped set of tongs that I bought from a frag swap, what, 2 years ago? Something like that. Use them every day, no rust so far. Can't recall the vendor, but they're excellent quality. I'll be buying more, when I see them again.

What's hydro dipping? Is it a paint or plastidip type product?
