Default tweezers?

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

I use a brand-new X-acto blade, the one that comes to a sharp point. I
can excavate a tiny bit around the sliver to expose it, then use the
blade side to drag the sliver out. Most slivers from machining have
very rough surfaces, so the brand-new blade easily catches in the
roughness and pulls the sliver out. no way can you get fine enough
tweezer points to grab a tiny sliver as well as this.
