2 Pack Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper Precision Key Chain Tweezers

I hate being without tweezers. Before buying these, I would often have to wait to get home to tweeze while being driven crazy all day by a tiny spiky hair on my chin or upper lip area. UGH, hate!! Worse than no tweezers is (say it with me, people) tweezers that don't work!!! With so many inexpensive tweezers, I find myself saying, "WHY did I buy these? They bend and don't function after a few uses! Ridiculous." Bad, busted tweezers just leave me frustrated and sometimes hurt from trying to get an impossible stray hair. But these Uncle Bill's tweezers are pretty good! - A) because of their design and quality, they haven't warped/bent, and this is after many uses and being kicked around at the bottom of my purse with other stuff. Other inexpensive tweezers don't survive that kind of treatment. Uncle Bill's do. B) they're so portable. Though I haven't put them on a keychain yet (even though that's the whole reason I bought them!), they are so flat that they're easy to stick in a wallet or wristlet. I bought a few of these tweezers to put in different places, and there is something FANTASTIC about ALWAYS HAVING TWEEZERS. C) they are pretty good tweezers! Not the best ever (my absolute favorite is a La Cross discontinued double-ended tweezer, which I still have and treasure!), but by alternating between Uncle Bill tweezers' pointy tip and side edge, I can almost always nab stubborn hairs. D) they're small and lend themselves well to side-edge use, which I've found means I can conceal them in my hand and pluck some annoying face hairs by feel while doing other things. It's not too obvious. In closing, these tweezers are great because of their quality, durability, and portability. Good work, Uncle Bill's.

They are simple, but work perfectly in my application. I'm a machinist and these are the best tweezers I've ever found for removing the infinitely small and nearly invisible metal splinters that get in my fingers daily.

These are great little edc and/or field med kit tweezers. As others have said it appears as if the quality of the product has lowered very slightly over the years, however the issue most have now with these tweezers is easily fixed with a good sharpening stone and/or an emory board. These are just as tough as the older Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers, the issue nowadays is that the ends are not fully sharpened to a point as the one's made years ago were. The overall quality is excellent especially for the price and as with the originals these are for me a must have item. Personally I don't have a problem modifying an item like this in such a simple way to bring it up to spec. All I can say is get a set of these tweezers, you won't regret it. From removing cactus spines, pulling out smaller porcupine quills(I was paying attention to something else and rolled over not realizing that a porcupine had made it's way into camp and apparently was curious about the critters sleeping around the fire, not a great way to wake up) and fine hairs these tweezers have a multitude of uses.

Yes, these are the same as UNCLE BILL's Sliver Gripper Tweezers in the little tube! But these, have little hooks; the 'eye' of the Sliver-Gripper is gripped by the hooks, and yes you can carry them on your keychain. To unlock, you simply press the tweezers together, and slightly pull apart. Very clever. I've been using them for years. I've tried every brand of tweezers for years for many purposes, and only THESE work best. They do far more than remove slivers, but for that purpose you can't find anything better. I almost want to say that if you buy them and don't like them, sell them back to me! Except, I just bought five more of them from Amazon. My first two lasted 20 years. Lost one about 10 years ago. The other one remaining is a must-have whenever I travel. So now, I have six. One for the glove compartment, one for the suitcase, one for the purse, one for the office, one for the ... well, you get the idea. I use them also to retrieve things which fall between my keyboard keys, for mishaps while travelling (the airline people aren't worried about THESE tweezers). They aren't good for longer-reach applications (hair out of the drainpipe); use your old tweezers for that. For you won't go back to another type, once you use these. What makes them special is the precision point and especially its thin stiffness. Whether personal grooming or modelling, arts and crafts, even special close work with delicate equipment, these tweezers belong somewhere handy. Like, on a keychain...

the few times i've needed these to remove a sliver of metal shaving or splinter from a finger they've been a godsend. the tip is very fine and can grab hold of the smallest barely protruding 'thorn in my finger' foreign object with ease. the way it secures to the part that stays on a keychain or what have you is pretty secure but not foolproof. I've had mine for a while - gave the other as a gift - and have had to use it a few times but today when i got home and went to hang my keys up i noticed the tweezers were gone. Not in my pocket. gone. Really bummed they somehow fell out of their holder so easily. I will probably buy another because they really do the trick when you need it but I may finger a more secure way to EDC them.

Some have said they changed etc. I have not owned a pair before so I can't attest to that. But I can tell you these are great. pointy gets in tiny grooves cuts etc. gets the tiniest hairs or whatever it is your trying to remove with ease. my old pair were cheap and extremely frustrating, not these. When I first got them I like them so much I was trying to find things to pluck on my body ha. Anyway these I highly suggest, they are high quality not some cheap metal from China, these are made in the USA and it shows.

Very good. They stay on the holder very securely and can grab the finest hairs/splinters. Worth the money.

TLDR: Designed especially for the smallest of splinters and slivers. Easy to carry. I First heard about these tweezers over a decade ago from someone who now would be called an influencer. I have a few other things that were recommended by him and they all served me well. These sliver grippers are the best for tiny things stuck in the skin. I have the traditional nail care kit tweezers which are mostly useless and I also have a few tweezers that fit inside a pocket tool. The pocket tool sized one works for most things, but when something is so small that you can only feel it and can't see it, this baby shines! The other day I ended up with a splinter in my foot within seconds of waking up and was still unable to see for the most part.I could feel it in my foot with my hand . I was able to get the tiny splinter out within a matter of seconds. I did have to use a few different approaches, but that is more of a reflection of the splinter and user and less on the tweezers themselves. I noticed some reviews mentioning that the product packaging/accessories are slightly different than what they received. I received items identical to the photos: 2 Sliver grippers in a plastic zipper bag with a product info card. Each gripper came with a keychain attachment. I currently have one living rent free in my first aid kit and the other i plan on adding to my Every day carry configuration so i always have it. I am so thrilled with the purchase and wish i had gotten them sooner. Five stars because it works and is portable.

Received on time and as advertised although I think they are way overpriced. Thanks.

SCAM. Came with no keychain in a small very cheap and flimsy plastic tube, as opposed to the keychain ring advertised in both the pictures and description. Zero replies from their support about the matter. Will return them. The tweezers themselves looks good, although they tend to break hairs you're trying to pull. No slivers currently so couldn't test them for that purpose.

Ordered a 2 pack. Missing 2nd tweezer and both key chain clips. Returned.
