Plucking tool (8)
I believe the answer is:
tweezers
'plucking tool' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tweezers that I've seen before include "Small pincers" , "Hair-plucking tool" , "Small hand tool used for gripping" , "Splinter removers" , "Nose hair pullers?" .)
