Default tweezers?

what's the consensus on the best (sliver removing) tweezers?

b.w.


At times, I will take a big set of nail clippers, and actually cut a divot
of meat out right at the base of the sliver. A lot of times this will get
the sliver, and lots of times, it will expose the sliver enough to get ahold
of it if the sliver is deep. Just don't take a divot deep enough to cause
pain. Stay in the top two layers of skin, and you won't feel it. If
necessary, take two, one in one direction, the other 180 out. You should
get the sliver, or expose it. As mentioned, sometimes a good pointed xacto
knife works well, too.
