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

b.w.

One who's jaws are aligned. I take any tweezers that are not functioning
properly, and get a strip of aluminum oxide. I clamp the strip in the
jaws
and pull the strip through. Reverse the side and do it again. Repeat
until
the jaws close and match. Takes various numbers depending on how bad the
alignment is in the first place.

Get a bottle of tincture of iodine, and put a dab on the sliver to make
the
sliver absorb the iodine and stand out. Makes them infinitely more
visible.

I'd rather use merthiolate, you masochist, you.
Oops, it isn't as red.

I ATTEMPTED to purchase some tincture of iodine a year ago in Las Vegas.
Not only did I not get any iodine (which, btw was nowhere in the store), but
I arose the interest of the pharmacist who came out and asked me pointedly
who I was and what I wanted Iodine for. I guess you can make a hell of a
lot of meth from 1/8 fl. oz. of 2% iodine. Anyway, I left without the
iodine.

Fast forward to conservative reactionary Utah. I go in to buy some, and the
guy asks me if I need more than a pint. Apparently, they use it for
veterinarian purposes.

Whodathunkit?
