Leech Tweezers (Leezers)

thingiverse

A pair of custom tweezers I designed to assist my son in safely removing leeches from turtles. This is strictly a DIY tool, not intended for medical use. The curved jaws are engineered to grip the leech's mouth securely, while the serrations on its body provide extra traction for easy removal. The slightly larger opening accommodates larger leeches, ensuring they can be removed efficiently. A thicker section near the tip adds rigidity and allows for greater force to be applied when needed. Finger indentations are strategically placed to provide better control during the process. My son will need to exercise caution to avoid accidentally touching the turtle's mouth with his fingers.
