Review (5/5): Best tweezers I have seen outside the ones used in an operating room.
To begin, we did get a discount for these tweezers if we promised to write a review about them; however the stipulation was that the review had to be honest, so..it is! This tweezer set is hands down the best I've seen outside of an operating room. My dad is a surgeon and my mom is a nurse so growing up I always had really good tweezers and other instruments to use for the occasional splinter etc... When I moved away from home I noticed that good tweezers and such were almost impossible to obtain unless you wanted to pay a fortune for the ones they actually use in operating rooms. The main issue I have with most tweezers is: 1) the metal at the pinching end does not align properly and thus you cannot get a good grip on a hair or splinter and 2) they are made of soft metal and therefore lack the rigidity that is required to get a good grip on the splinter or object.
THESE tweezers are awesome however! The pinching ends meet up perfectly so that if you close the tips together in front of a light, no light comes through, translating into a solid grip. The metal itself is strong and rigid as well, taking care of my second complaint with most tweezers. There is a nice glossy coating on the tweezers which makes them easy to clean and provides a good surface so your fingers don't slip off.
There are four different tweezers included and they are all great. The case it comes in is about the size of a typical wallet. The case is actually pretty tough and it has some sort of velvet like finish on the inside, where the tweezers are. The case will fold in half to make it very compact, even with the tweezers inside.
