Expensive for typical & shipping SLOW 
2008-02-14
For an item that ended up being the same as your department or drugstore offering, it was expensive and nothing more than ordinary. Plus the company took more than a week in an off-season time to ship the tiny item. It is February...not like Christmas where I would understand.
Great fine tip tweezers 
2008-02-13
I use these for general tweezer needs and find them to be excellent. I haven't yet needed them for a splinter or ingrown hair, but have no doubt that these will work just as well for their actual intended use. I can't believe I suffered along all my life with the clumsy tweezers available in drug stores: which are like using salad tongs for tweezer needs, compared to these. Just be careful re: the sharp points on these.
Not very good

Good for extracting the hair under the skin, but the needle tips end up snapping the hair when you try to tweeze it out
So I use a combination, this to unlodge the hair, and another product to actually pull the hair out.
No, No, No

I have the regular tweezerman tweezers and I thought these would be even better. Not even close. They are sharp, and they will dig into your skin, but unless you get a hair exactly in their very,very tiny grip, you will just have a hole in your face and the hair will still be there. Save your money.
The best tweezers on the market 
2007-12-16
We accidentally came across these tweezers while searching online. We've purchased numerous tweezers and have become frustrated at finding ones that did the job. Our experience with tweezers are that most hairs are too fine to be removed by most of the tweezers, and after time the tweezers become dull and useless.
The Tweezerman tweezers out of the box is as sharp as a needle, so be careful. It's amazing at the hairs it removes that have not pierced the skin as of yet. In addition, if or when they become dull, you can send the tweezers back to the company and they'll resharpen them for free of charge. Who knows if we'll ever have the chance to do that but it's nice to know that the option is there.
Why did it take us so long to find these tweezers--they are simply extraordinary!
Great tweezers but be warned...

For guys that have curly facial hair, this is a must because of the ingrown hairs that eventually occur. I will often get these on my neck and this product has been perfect for quickly and easily removing those. The tweezers are wide and secure in my hand which allow more control in the process. Before buying these I would sometimes have to use a straight pin along with regular tweezers to access the ingrown hair. The tips of this product are so fine that I no longer need to jab at my neck with a pin. Also if I catch a hair that has just begun to grow back under my skin, these will easily lift those out before it becomes a problem. However, if you are bleeding, make sure you stop that first because I have found these tend to lose grip when the hair and or tweezers are a little slick from blood. Don't they all?
The interior portion does not have any ridges but has been machined in such a way that it provides excellent grip when the hair is dry. Since the tips are so fine it can sometimes be hard to grasp those properly but when you do, one pull is all that's needed. For splinters, these are a must! Even with a little bleeding these have done the job very quickly and without causing anymore damage to the surrounding skin.
I would warn you that if your hands shake these are probably not the best tweezers to purchase. Since they are so precise, you have to be as well. The tips on these things are needle-like. You need a steady hand and good hand/eye coordination and for obvious reasons, don't use these anywhere around your eyes. For me, they have proven invaluable but I realize these tweezers might not be the best choice for everyone. If these don't work great for you, it will very likely be the operator, not the product. I don't even attempt to tweeze hairs if I have the coffee jitters.
Excellent Tweezer 
2008-05-25
I purchased these from Amazon - at less than half of the local price for the same product from the same maker - and am very pleased with them. The tips are extremely fine, yet strong enough to lift out a splinter easily the first time. I purchased them pretty much for such purpose. I'm not a professional but appreciate a good quality tool. (My earlier tweezers were "stolen" by a security guard in Ecuador who decided I was a danger to an airplane if I kept my tweezers.) My order came promptly as scheduled.
I would recommend these to anyone who wants a high quality tweezer at a very reasonable cost.
very happy with it, works like you'd expect

I use this all the time, more than I thought I would. I use it for ingrown facial hairs. I'm very happy with it personally. Works well. I'm able to dig hairs out, grab them, and pull them out without causing a lot of damage. The vast majority of the time it works flawlessly. Rarely it may break the hair, or you may have a hair that's hard to grasp(usually because it's very short).
It's a very sharp precise fine tipped tool. If you have trouble with such a precise tool than maybe it isn't for you. Just have a look at the product shot, it's exactly what you'd expect it to be. It's well made also, I don't foresee it going bad anytime soon.
Sharp but not a miracle tool 
2008-03-15
It's great at digging hairs out from underneath skin, but not so good at grasping hairs once they have emerged. It tends to break them off instead of pulling them out by the root. That's problematic, because you are supposed to remove ingrown completely -- meaning I have to use these to get the hair, and then another, duller pair to remove it :)
Exactly as advertised! Awesome!

Purchased as a gift for my husband. Works very well, he is very pleased. The sharp stainless steel tips are perfect for ingrown hairs.
