Slanted, precision, and splinter tweezers are the most popular tweezer types available. For general purposes, a product like the Tweezerman Stainless Steel Slant Tweezer is your best choice, especially for working around the natural curves of your skin. The slanted hand-etched tips set these stainless-steel instruments in perfect alignment. On the other hand, precision tweezers are the best instruments for removing splinters and other objects from your skin, including ingrown hair, thorns, glass, and pebbles. Splinter forceps tweezers are also splinter removers. However, their serrated tips are best for removing acupuncture needles or other tiny spears that are hard to grab onto.
