These are the best tweezers I've ever had. They have a very fine point and require little effort to compress.

I thought that these tweezers were ultra sharp...perhaps a little too sharp. Even when I got the hair perfectly... the tweezers would act like scissors and cut it leaving little hair left for me to grab. It's more than a little frustrating. I also found that mine aren't perfectly aligned so even when I'm right on top of a hair it wont' grab it because the point is so specific. I think this tool is perfect to dig down to your ingrown hair and try to bring it above your skin surface and then use another pair of tweezers to actually pull it.

I am a fervent gardener, and consequently have more than my share of tiny splinters lodged in my fingers. These tweezers are the best possible way to remove them, with the help of a good magnifying glass, of course.
I can't think of one way they might be improved.

These are very nice, precise tweezers that will get to anything you have that's under the skin. They don't do any damage to the surface of the skin...just get rid of what you don't want under it. Keep the plastic cover for the tips - they are very sharp!

For guys that have curly facial hair, this is a must because of the ingrown hairs that eventually occur. I will often get these on my neck and this product has been perfect for quickly and easily removing those. The tweezers are wide and secure in my hand which allow more control in the process. Before buying these I would sometimes have to use a straight pin along with regular tweezers to access the ingrown hair. The tips of this product are so fine that I no longer need to jab at my neck with a pin. Also if I catch a hair that has just begun to grow back under my skin, these will easily lift those out before it becomes a problem. However, if you are bleeding, make sure you stop that first because I have found these tend to lose grip when the hair and or tweezers are a little slick from blood. Don't they all?

The interior portion does not have any ridges but has been machined in such a way that it provides excellent grip when the hair is dry. Since the tips are so fine it can sometimes be hard to grasp those properly but when you do, one pull is all that's needed. For splinters, these are a must! Even with a little bleeding these have done the job very quickly and without causing anymore damage to the surrounding skin.

I would warn you that if your hands shake these are probably not the best tweezers to purchase. Since they are so precise, you have to be as well. The tips on these things are needle-like. You need a steady hand and good hand/eye coordination and for obvious reasons, don't use these anywhere around your eyes. For me, they have proven invaluable but I realize these tweezers might not be the best choice for everyone. If these don't work great for you, it will very likely be the operator, not the product. I don't even attempt to tweeze hairs if I have the coffee jitters.
