These tweezers by Simply Essentials are excellent! I have several pairs of tweezer but none that are this small and pointy. This is very precise tweezer! I love that this reaches every little hair and I can get in hard to reach spots. These would be great for splinters. Regular shaped tweezers I always have a hard time and I wind up cutting the skin. I found the grip to be great and very easy to hold. I tweezed my eyebrows in half the time it normally takes. Highly recommend !! I did receive this product complimentary in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
