- All tweezers are not created equal - the size, shape, and grip all matter when it comes to getting an easy, relatively pain-free tweeze for hairs and splinters.
- Tweezerman Slant Tweezer is the one most universally beloved by experts and shoppers for its precise, simple to use design. It's why it's our overall pick.
Tweezing can be both painful and weirdly addictive. There's always just one more hair, right? But there's nothing less satisfying for the tweezers-obsessed than when you find the exact hair you've been hunting for, only to discover it's way too difficult to actually grip.
A good set of tweezers should be able to tackle a host of problems, from grabbing onto fine hairs to pulling out splinters; a bad one will not only be ineffective but could cause harm. While most tweezers look pretty similar, there are subtle differences that make the truly fantastic ones stand out.
The most important step is to determine what you'll use your upgraded tweezers for most often, and which shape will help you get the most bang for your buck. Tweezers slanted at the tip are most versatile, but there are rounded and pointed options as well (not to mention different variations on each of these types). We find the Tweezerman Slant Tweezer to be the best all-around, but we have four other favorites as well.
