Review on πŸ’ͺ Efficient 6-Pack: Victorinox Small Tweezers for Precision Grooming by Elaine Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not quite the same - shaving and hair removal

The Victorinox tweezers found on the regular $7 Classic keychain are some of the best tweezers you can buy. They are sharp and well shaped, and the square point makes a nice strong and thin handle. You can head down to your local beauty store and until you start spending upwards of $20 you won't find a better (or more compact) pair of tweezers than the ones that come with the Classic. But it's not the same. Plastic heads are different sizes, each fits differently in the pocket of knife tweezers and rises slightly. This makes the tweezers dangerous and it is quite possible that they get caught somewhere and lost again. More importantly, the length of tweezers varies widely, and some tweezers are noticeably longer on one side. That means they won't get anywhere near a sharp point and you'll never catch anything that requires precision. The good news about impermanence is that some are better than others. I've managed to find one or two that weren't as terrified and that on balance it's better than having a boring empty tweezer slot in a pocket knife. And you'll be glad you have 6 because 5 of them might not be useful.
