Ooh, supermagnet as splinter removal tool? Good show. I'll have to
remember that! The teensy metal splinters are the worst type.
Doesnt work worth a damn though on those nasty festering little brass

Dial calipers. They already have a set of "rigid" flat mating

glue over the area, then waiting for it to dry and peeling it off will
take that splinter right out!
