One of the small joys in life is a good pair of tweezers. No, I’m serious. When you need to get at something using tweezers, there’s nothing more frustrating than a pair that the tips don’t actually meet or are too big.

After an incident involving a bad splinter, Jessalyn’s foot, a mediocre pair of tweezers, and ended in going to urgent care to have the splinter dug out, I decided it was high time to invest in a good pair of tweezers. I spent more money (but certainly not as much as I could have) on this pair than they should be. But after using them for a while, I think they were worth every penny.
