Nghia Tweezers N-425 Purple

Slant-cut tips, the general-purpose shape.

The angle lets you come at a hair from the side and see the tip as it closes, which is why most technicians reach for a slant before anything else. Straight tips are better on a flat surface, points are better on a stray you have to hunt for, but a slant does most of the day's work.

Arms are contoured with anti-slip detailing, which is the part that matters in wet gloves. Narrow gripping surface, so it takes one hair at a time.

Care

Stainless steel, so it takes autoclaving and chemical disinfection between clients. Dry it properly before it goes back in the pouch: moisture left in a hinge is what causes staining and eventually stiffness, not the sterilisation itself.
