French term

pince bruxelle

French to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space Parts list
In a list of tools provided for the work to be performed (CFT for maintenance of tools to repair parts used for training purposes) I have this
pince bruxelle 149Y
and that's ALL I have
(previous line is a "pince à bec plat" next line is a "pince coupante")
Anyone ever heard of this?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 pince brucelles
3 tweezers

French term (edited): pince brucelle

tweezers

I think they might mean "brucelle", which would be 'tweezers' in English

Actually philgoddard is right, it should be in the plural only:
