Tweezerman Tweezers: great alignment, fine points, occasionally too thick to remove splinters. Next only to precision tools.
Generic slanted tip tweezers cost about three bucks in a drugstore and are good for nothing. Generic point tip tweezers don't come together at all. It took me a while to get to spend $20 on Tweezerman tweezers, but it was worth it. Tweezerman point tweezers are nice, fine tool. The have perfectly aligned points (they come with plastic tip protector) and comfortable spring tension. Tweezerman tweezers are stainless steel and enamel-finished, but I wouldn't leave such a nice thing to rust anyway. I use my tweezers to remove splinters, to clean keyboard and sewing machine, to repair books, and countless other ways almost every day. They work for plucking hair, too! The only drawback is that this tweezers' points are rather thick. I have a much thinner little tweezers in a pocket knife, which are not as well aligned and too small to be comfortable, but they would let me reach there Tweezerman cannot. Finer tweezers are called microelectronic tools or precision tweezers, they are made of carbon steel or some unobtainium alloy and cost $40 and up a pair. I'll get myself some eventually, but Tweezerman will do for now.
