tweezers?

You know, I have had a couple that I have left, or that stayed in there so long that they make a little Mt. Vesuvius, and it gets even a little pressure in there. But I didn't mind, because I was positive that once it looks like that, it'll pop out soon. It'll come out, one way or the other.

When I did a lot of ornamental metal, I did a lot of work with fresh square tubing with "fish oil" on it. Black hands and fingernails. Until I found Orange hand cleaner, I used Dawn. Wrong thing to do! It took so much oil out of my skin that it cracked and bled. ARGGGGGHHHHHH! A Tim the Too Man Taylor thing. Tough guy.

Well, this woos, former tough guy now uses orange hand cleaner with pumice AND lotion afterward. No sense being an idiot.

TY. I must have some. (one for the shop, one for the shave kit, one for each bathroom in the house, one for each first aid kit, and a couple for when I can't find one of the others.)

Maybe I'll have to get a real Swiss army knife. I've never been impressed with the tweezers from the army knives I've had (probably knock-offs) -- just too flimsy. They're only good for holding bugs if you want to examine them closely. :)

That price is insane.

I was going to wait and see.

I never could find a pair of tweezers which would actually get the little fine slivers. Was bitching about it at work and one of the guys say "Use your calipers- they've got a flat surface." "Well, duh!" says I.

If it gets that big, I will get the medical kit out. Otherwise, I keep a roll of the micropore paper tape. Tape it shut and back to work.

I MUCH prefer his more subtle wit in his later works, such as the "Die Hard" series, "The Fifth Element", "The Last Boy Scout", and "Last Man Standing", and her wit in the movie where she played a hitwoman (can't find the title, damnit.)

To lots of metalworkers, electricity is new and leather belting is modern.

I use a brand-new X-acto blade, the one that comes to a sharp point. I can excavate a tiny bit around the sliver to expose it, then use the blade side to drag the sliver out. Most slivers from machining have very rough surfaces, so the brand-new blade easily catches in the roughness and pulls the sliver out. no way can you get fine enough tweezer points to grab a tiny sliver as well as this.

It is. But it was the first I found with an image of the Tweezers in question.

Those prices are a bit more reasonable -- adjusting what I ordered them for at work for inflation.

Thanks for finding that one.

Enjoy, DoN.

The price may seem to be insane, but consider that no others are made of "100% high-tech allow".
