[ccp4bb] Cryo tongs/manipulator

[Bandaranayake, Rajintha]

Hello all,
Does anyone know where one could purchase cryo-vial tongs/manipulatos with the 
plastic coated handles (See attached image)? We have checked with Blake 
Industries (where I think we originally got them eons ago), however their new 
catalog does not list them any more.

Thanks in advance.

These just look like ordinary hemostats that have been dipped in rubber 
goo stuff.  You can get rubber goo stuff from McMaster-Carr:

When searching, avoid the almost overwhelming temptation to spell it as
vile manipulator or you will just wind up with a listing of university
administrators.
