CIVIVI Precision Tweezers for Splinters, Retractable Tweezers with Leather Sheath for Men EDC Easy Keychain Carry, Tac-N-Tweeze Tweezers Designed By Bob Terzuola C19062B-A

These struck my curiousity, and I thought with the price, just maybe they were quality. I was right. These things are handy, hardy, precise, hardened, needle-sharp, extremely functional tweezers. Splinters? No, these do far greater things. Seriously, they are ultra-high-quality, high carbon tool steel. At least the tweezer blades. I have used these at least 3 times a week since I have gotten them. Perfect keychain size and weight, being its carbon steel.

I have two pairs of these tweezers. My first pair I got a few years back and I got a second one to put on my key ring.I have a Bee hive in my backyard. I do not get stung very often, but when I do I want a pair of tweezer close by.The tweezers have a very sharp point and are great getting out splinters and bee stingers. They are easy to use and can retract to protect the point and not stab me while in my pocket.

We absolutely love how well these work for my blue collar husband! He constantly gets splinters cause he hates gloves so this is extremely sharp and helpful for digging in to get small deep splinters that would normally fester him for days. My only complaint is that because he has to have these on his keys to keep them handy the case fell off somewhere pretty quickly and we never found it. But the quality that you get out of the tweezers is fanominal! Definitely recommend and buy again if we need another set for like a emergency kit!

The best tweezers ever made.. good bye splinter;)

Nice compact item that is easy to throw in the pocket on the go.

Had a bloody microscopic splinter in my finger for 4 days. Regular (borrowed) tweezers failed. I got home and was able to get a knife blade under it, but my needlenose pliers and toenail clippers (I know, I got desperate) both failed. I don't dig out splinters with my knife entirely, just because I don't... want to cut myself open? Anyways.I had these CIVIVI tweezers in my cart for several weeks since realizing I didn't have a pair of tweezers in my first aid kit, or even in my household. Only thing that made me hesitate was the price. Of course it did. $30 is a lot for a pair of tweezers!Yesterday, after more failed attempts to extract the splinter, I decided I'd had enough, and I dropped the coin on these, next-day delivery. I received it, unboxed it, and literally under sixty seconds after sitting down with them, the splinter was removed. So let's talk about these tweezers, and about the company behind them.The name CIVIVI caught my attention because I'm familiar with their brand. They make knives, and DAMN classy ones at that, for medium-range prices of $80-130. I own one of their knives and it lives up to its price tag being well-engineered, sturdy, but also having a unique sort of elegance to its design that, as a megapoor who can't afford a $200 knife, I really appreciate. It makes me feel like I have a premium knife without having to pay a premium cost.These tweezers share such design. Their feature of retracting into a metal case works wonderfully. The round screw tightens reliably in the deployed or sheathed positions (or anywhere in between, if you fancy) with finger-tightness. This retractable design also allows the tips of the tweezers to be VERY pointy, which is an absolute boon when dealing with splinters thinner than a human hair. It also means that, if necessary, they can dig into the skin to remove deeply embedded splinters. Mine was embedded BARELY deeply enough to be below flush with my skin. The points are like the tips of two scalpels coming together with perfect precision. Precision that is necessarily held to a high standard, which a renowned knifemaker like CIVIVI would be very used to. The tweezers were smaller than I expected, but that certainly lent to their abilities. This thing is a precision instrument, there's no doubt about it.Also, the finish on it is stunning. It really makes no sense to care about the aesthetics of a pair of tweezers, even less so for CIVIVI to put effort into it when designing them, but they are gorgeous in person. Evident of the pride that CIVIVI takes in the elegance of its products. If it isn't beautiful, it isn't CIVIVI.The leather sheath is real leather, and is mildly challenging to get the tweezers into for the first time, but I imagine it'll get easier over time. The tweezers don't fit entirely within the sheath, but I can't imagine that to be a huge issue for most people. The sheath is helpful for me because it means I can drop these things in my first aid kit and not worry about them scarring up any of the other softer (sometimes paper) materials that they'll be adjacent to.

High quality and durable but needle tip makes it difficult to pluck anything including splinters, hairs etc. Would absolutely love a version that has a longer edge.

Been using for a year, the hold up great and come in handy when your out and about. Saved the day a few times
