PockeTweez - Tweezers for Splinters Review
Pocketweez makes pulling splinters easy thanks to wide, razor-sharp jaws that fold inside a sturdy metal housing.
Jun 03, 2010
With their flimsy, ill-fitting jaws, I gave up ordinary tweezers as a way to pull splinters years ago. Given my usual alternative (self-surgery with a utility knife), I was delighted to find a pair of tweezers that actually work for splinters. Pocketweez’s razor-sharp jaws are easy to grip and pivot to fit inside the handle, so you can carry the all-stainless-steel tweezers in your pocket without stabbing yourself. The $25 price tag (pocketweez.com) may sound a little steep, but the product is well made and will likely last a lifetime.

Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
