Ouch! You're right, that shipping stings. *I got a few sets when Sears

If I don't have a needle handy, I use my tweezers from the Swiss Army
knife I have in my pocket. That knife is smaller than my little
finger, but it sure is handy. The toothpick is another handy item,
directly opposite the tweezers, as are the nail file, blade, and teeny
but sharp scissors.http://fwd4.me/ISX*Classic SD, blue.

Maybe I'll have to get a real Swiss army knife. I've never been
impressed with the tweezers from the army knives I've had (probably
knock-offs) -- just too flimsy. They're only good for holding bugs if
you want to examine them closely.
