Rubis Classic Tweezer, 1k102,Rubis Switzerland Swiss Made World Renowned Precision

I have used this brand for over 20 years. First ones were actually bought in a store in Switzerland when on a Swarovski member tour. Everyone who uses mine is impressed and I let them have them and buy myself more…from pluckin eyebrows, errant hairs that show up on your chin, splinters and as we live in the country for removing ticks! The are the very best.

I bought both rubis and tweezerman since they were the best rated on the market to compare. Both have their pros and cons, but both are great tweezers.The grip on the tweezerman is better for grabbing thicker hair by the root and pulling it all the way out, instead of breaking the hair halfway. But the point is also wider, making it less accurate than the more narrow rubis point.Both do their job well, I just swap between them based on what hair type I'm dealing with.

my grandmother needed some tweezers I found these , she uses often for hairs and bumps and blisters and what every she wants she's a weird one, but she loves them and she likes how shard they are, beware of nicks and cuts

I’m incredibly picky about my tweezers. I’ve used Rubis for decades. I’ve been such a diehard fan that I’ve convinced all of my girlfriends to invest in a pair. Recently, I needed to get new ones because the point on my old ones bent when I dropped them.These are NOT the same as I’ve been buying for the last 20 years. The contact plates do not fully touch. I have been fine paying the extremely high price for Rubis (compared to every other brand) because they were precision tools. These are not that much better than the Tweezerman I also ordered. And, with the price difference between the two, I can’t say which I would recommend.Rubis, please go back to your previous manufacturing process. Or, offer a top of the line version for purchase (not just expensive because they are gold plated). I’m willing to pay for the precision tool!

Most precise tips in the market. Well worth the price. They last forever, but I dropped my old one on tile and the tip was damaged.

SHORT VERSION: Picks up fine hairs well when brand new, but comes out of alignment easily (read: becomes functionally the same as a dime store tweezer) and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY offered by the company. When they go bad past the period where you are protected by Amazon's return policy, your only option is to throw them out.FULL REVIEWIf you've read the other reviews, chances are you know that the two big players in the high end tweezer market are Rubis and Tweezerman.I own several pairs of each.Both brands do a much better job of grasping fine hairs than the generic or even beauty product branded tweezers found at pharmacies, big box stores and supermarkets. This is because instead of being taken from a poured mold and packaged for sale, these brands are first ground in a process similar to knife sharpening. The goal is to provide perfect edges to the jaws without little spaces for hairs to slip through.As I said, both brands are good when new. For the finest hairs, I'd probably give the slight edge to a brand new pair of Rubis out of the box. Without question, Tweezerman has the edge with regard to both to durability, and customer service if something does go wrong (and with Rubis, it will!).The fatal flaw inherent in Rubis Tweezers is they come out of alignment if you look at them wrong. When this happens, they are no more effective than $3.99 dime store tweezers. Chances are that the bad reviews you see here describing Rubis tweezers that are not grasping small hairs were written by owners of tweezers that have come out of alignment in shipping.Of the four pairs of Rubis Tweezers I have purchased from Amazon over the past three years, TWO have gone bad. The first time it happened, it was within 30 days--great Amazon customer service got me a quick replacement.A second pair went bad a month ago, so I visited the Rubis Web site and clicked on "customer service." Strangely enough, no warranty/repair policy is described. I sent an e-mail regarding repair, and a few days later, received an e-mail from someone's personal AOL account (how professional) stating "we do not offer that service." When I followed up asking what warranty is offered, the response was "we guarantee that every unit is inspected before it leaves the factory."Yes, you read it correct. There is absolutely *NO WARRANTY* on these $30-$35/pair tweezers.This is the first product in a long time that I have seen where absolutely no manufacturer's warranty is offered. This is even more shocking for a high end product. I have no problem paying a premium price for something--but I detest dealing with companies that do not stand behind their products.Tweezerman, in contrast, offers FREE LIFETIME SHARPENING if one of their units goes bad. And if they can't fix it, they will sell you a new pair at ½ price.Taken in the context of the lower retail price, Tweezerman is the clear winner here.

buy buy buy, so perfect quality, once you own it, you will never buy another one. Over the years i used 3 of those ( lost on vacation usually) and keep buying it again and again . Perfection achieved. Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone

It worked well for about 6 months and then it stopped grasping. I have purchased two pairs of these tweezers, they are so highly reviewed I thought maybe the first pair was a fluke when it stopped grasping. But just this week my second pair stopped working as well. Frustrating! I have much cheaper Revlon pair that I've had for years that still grasp, u guess I need to stick with the $6 tweezers
