 I paid twice the price... |

| Reviewer: E. Hinsch, Columbia, SC USA |
Can't believe I didn't check Amazon's price first. I paid nearly twice this price locally to get these, and I now have 3 pairs: 1 for the bathroom, 1 for my purse (chin hair emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere) and a spare pair in case the tips get bent (Tweezerman will sharpen and straighten tips for a very small fee).
Bottom line: I've used these for several years and they are the absolute best for ingrown chin hairs (menopausal women know very well what I'm talking about) and essential for splinters. And 9 bucks is a great price for something so indispensable. I plan never to be without a pair within easy reach for the rest of my days, and I really don't say that about much. |
Great general-purpose tweezers

| Review Date: October 16, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Timur Tabi, Austin, TX USA |
I purchased a pair of these tweezers to help me fix a very delicate gold chain necklace that had gotten tangled. No other tool in the house was effective, but once I got these, I was able to fix the necklace very easily.
What makes these tweezers so great is that they have a sharp tip that is very good at holding on to whatever it grabs. They also hold their shape (i.e. they don't bend) like other tweezers do. I use these tweezers now for all my "tweezing" needs.
I think everyone should have a pair of these tweezers on hand. |
Great tweezers but be warned...

| Reviewer: B. Godwin, New River Valley, Virginia |
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.

| This product does extactly what it says it does. Buy this item for those ingrown hair problems you may have trouble with. This is really great if you need to "dig" those troublesome ingrown hairs that are stuck right under the surface. I thought this product would of cause me pain or make me bleed by "digging" for those hairs, but no. It looks like since the hair is right under the surface of your skin it is painless to get them out. I will warn you to be careful since the ends of the tweezerman are very sharp. So make sure you don't stab yourself, because you will. I just wish I bought this products a couple of years ago. I use to use the little scissors attachment from a small swiss army knife. It worked great but since these tweezers have pointy ends it is much faster and easier. |

| These tweezers really get the job done. They are extremely sharp and have an almost surgical precision to them. The tip pressure is perfect, so you will never have to grab a hair more than once. The free, lifetime sharpening is a plus, too. |

| I absolutely LOVE this product. I have been looking for the perfect tweezers for many years, and now I have found it. I am going to be getting more of this product...maybe even the whole collection. The tips are so precise...just last night I got a sliver out of my daughters hand. It was so easy! I also use this to extract pimples/blackheads with ease. Also, the price is amazing. Other tweezers cost more and don't even work as well...And they bend easily. Not this product...no bending. Plus, it's guaranteed. |

| Review Date: April 17, 2010 |
| Reviewer: shirtless32, AZ, USA |
| To be totally honest, I decided on a more preventative approach than cure. I used a facial scrubber to (one of those facial washes with the grains) to lift the hairs after shaving. I did this twice a day. In order to prevent dryness, I had to use a moisturizer. Once I started to get rid of the in grown hairs, I started using the scrubber just once a day and continued to moisturize. When I just started however, this tweezer worked wonders in lifting those difficult hairs. |

| After several rounds of painfully mashing away at my face with Drug store tweezers and a sewing needle trying to get out tiny ingrown beard hairs, I got a pair of these. Each ingrown hair I've attacked with these tweezers is out in under 30 seconds- it's sooo much easier to isolate the right hair now- and I'm not ripping out the surrounding hairs by mistake anymore. |

Great for ingrown hair
|
| Review Date: July 5, 2010 |
| Reviewer: aredjeep, |
I agree with the previous reviewer... these tweezers are great to lift ingrown facial hair buried in the skin, because of their "needle-like" tips. I also follow up with a flat tweezer to remove the hair completely.
When I tried to use this pair, the hair either broke, or I could not get a good grip.
That's not a problem, and does not affect my rating for them... because they do their job.
My only regret is that I did not buy them years ago. I would probably have less scarring from digging out ingrown hairs with other needles/tweezers.
Great buy |

| I've had a splinter in my hand for quite some time and haven't been able to remove it. I had tried several different tweezers and sewing needles without any luck. I ordered the "Splintertweeze" and within 5 minutes of opening the package, I was able to remove that irritating little splinter that I thought was going to be a permanent attachment. Thanks Tweezerman! |

| I bought these after suffering through scads of lame-o drugstore tweezers. The points of these STILL match perfectly even after several accidental drops into the sink. They're nice and sharp, but not so sharp that you'll accidentally hurt yourself. And the metal of the tips is just rough enough to get a good grip without serrations. Excellent all around. |

| Reviewer: M. Cuccuini, east coast and west coast |
| These are great for removing ingrown hairs and splinters. I had an ingrown that was several months old and nothing short of going to the doctor to get it removed was going to work. My waxer recommend these tweezers as a last resort. After a few tries with the tweezerman, I was able to get the hair out. I highly recommend this product to anyone especially if you get ingrowns from waxing or sugaring. |
The best tweezers on the market
|
| Review Date: December 16, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Lou M, Brooklyn, NY United States |
We accidentally came across these tweezers while searching online. We've purchased numerous tweezers and have become frustrated at finding ones that did the job. Our experience with tweezers are that most hairs are too fine to be removed by most of the tweezers, and after time the tweezers become dull and useless.
The Tweezerman tweezers out of the box is as sharp as a needle, so be careful. It's amazing at the hairs it removes that have not pierced the skin as of yet. In addition, if or when they become dull, you can send the tweezers back to the company and they'll resharpen them for free of charge. Who knows if we'll ever have the chance to do that but it's nice to know that the option is there.
Why did it take us so long to find these tweezers--they are simply extraordinary! |

| Reviewer: M. Barton, Northeast USA |
| I use these for general tweezer needs and find them to be excellent. I haven't yet needed them for a splinter or ingrown hair, but have no doubt that these will work just as well for their actual intended use. I can't believe I suffered along all my life with the clumsy tweezers available in drug stores: which are like using salad tongs for tweezer needs, compared to these. Just be careful re: the sharp points on these. |

| Reviewer: Lonnie Clar, Loudonville, NY USA |
I purchased these from Amazon - at less than half of the local price for the same product from the same maker - and am very pleased with them. The tips are extremely fine, yet strong enough to lift out a splinter easily the first time. I purchased them pretty much for such purpose. I'm not a professional but appreciate a good quality tool. (My earlier tweezers were "stolen" by a security guard in Ecuador who decided I was a danger to an airplane if I kept my tweezers.) My order came promptly as scheduled.
I would recommend these to anyone who wants a high quality tweezer at a very reasonable cost. |

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.

Get some slant-tweezers and these for the perfect pair
|
| Review Date: October 9, 2006 |
| Reviewer: James D. Kimble, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA United States |
The tips of these things are like SHARP needles, and they are perfect for "isolating ingrown hairs" beneath the skin. Like the other reviewer, I found it difficult at times to pluck hairs using the needle-like tip of the tool.
The trick is to use the flat area of the tweezer, located just "before" the tips are tapered into points; from there you can grip the hair well enough to pluck it. It's enough of a hassle that I ordered a pair of Tweezerman's slanted-cut tweezers to do the "heavy lifting" plucking, and will use these for the precision work (that is, isolating the hair or splinter or bullet fragment.)
Make certain you keep the clear-plastic tube that covers the tips in the packaging. You will need something to keep from poking things as you retreive or sanitize them. I skewered the tube the first time I tried to use it to cover the tips, so I need to find some kind of alternative sheath for travel.
Anyway, I've had them almost a month and I'm very impressed at how well they hold their edge. The packaging material promises Tweezerman will gladly grind (re-sharpen) the tips for free -- you only pay postage. They're replace a broken or "soiled" tool for a flat $5 + postage, FWIW. |
Almost perfect

| Review Date: August 24, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Johnpmorrell, |
I bought these tweezers for removing ingrown hairs that did not come out after I shaved. My regular flat tweezers were not pointed enough to grab them.
This product's graphic yellow design makes it more eye-catching than your traditional stainless steel model. I realize the tips have to come to a point to pull splinters or small hairs, but these ended up being a little too sharp. There doesn't end up being enough surface area sometimes to easily grab what your trying to take out.
Overall, I like the tweezers and would recommend them. |

| Reviewer: Anita Blake, Bloomfield, NJ |
| I use these tweezers for ingrown hairs all over my body, and they work wonderfully. They're great for probing under the skin for hairs that have turned back into the follicle and started growing under the skin. The only drawback is that the points are VERY sharp, so they can cut the skin pretty deeply, causing scabbing and possibly scars. |
Just what I was looking for!

| Review Date: December 22, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Sheri in Reho, Rehoboth Beach, DE |
I have very sensitive skin, especially around my eyes. For years, wearing makeup has tended to create infected eyelashes, even though I gave up mascara years ago, so I am regularly looking in a magnifying mirror with a pair of tweezers trying to extract the offending lash. The tip of my finest-tipped tweezers had gotten dull and my vision wasn't getting any better, so I was looking for a pair of new fine-tipped tweezers and came across these.
I have been VERY pleased with these tweezers. As other reviewers have mentioned, the tips are very sharp (they come with a cap for safety), so they can hone right in on a single lash (or ingrown hair) quite easily. My only complaint (and the only reason I gave the tweezers 4 stars vs. 5) is the same one that others have made--it can be difficult to grasp the hair or lash and get enough hold on it to pull it out. This is because only the very TIP of the tweezers come together--from there, they bow out--making it difficult to get a good grip. However, now that I've been using the tweezers for a month or so, this is much less of a problem. It's just a matter of learning how to use this tweezer to its best advantage (at least that was the case for me).
Recommended for those with recurring ingrown hairs, lashes, etc. |

I use this all the time, more than I thought I would. I use it for ingrown facial hairs. I'm very happy with it personally. Works well. I'm able to dig hairs out, grab them, and pull them out without causing a lot of damage. The vast majority of the time it works flawlessly. Rarely it may break the hair, or you may have a hair that's hard to grasp(usually because it's very short).
It's a very sharp precise fine tipped tool. If you have trouble with such a precise tool than maybe it isn't for you. Just have a look at the product shot, it's exactly what you'd expect it to be. It's well made also, I don't foresee it going bad anytime soon. |

| Reviewer: Sharilynn C. Steele, overseas |
This tweezer has the finest point of any tweezer I've ever used... It really does a good job when it's time to get really thorough in your grooming and need to pick at really fine hairs... However there are a few issues that keep me from loving it...
1 - the point of this tweezers are fine and slender... in fact at times they are TOO fine... sometimes I end up cutting/breaking a hair instead of pulling it out which defeats its purpose and its frustrating...
2 - These are REALLY sharp; the little plastic cap this comes with is not good enough to protect you if somehow you push it on too hard...
And 3 - the tips are very easily bent, if you drop it and it happens to hit something it's pretty much unusable after that... I'm not sure if you can send them back to Tweezerman to be fixed?
All in all these are a good buy but I would definitely advise buying more than one at a time so you always have a back-up...
Happy plucking
