I kept getting "new" tweezers to get them out, till my friend
pointed out that I had a set of perfectly flat and mating jaws already
handy - the dial calipers. "Doh!"
Add in that I'm extremely nearsighted, and I look under the
glasses to see the little buggers ... and still want a strong light
around.

What I found that worked well was either a set of flush cutting dykes or
fingernail clippers. The trick with using either, is no grab but not snip.
I will try the caliper idea.
It works real well, as they're not designed to cut, just "close"

It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!
