Nghia Tweezers T-10

Point tweezers: the tips taper to a fine point rather than a cut edge.

This is the pair you keep for the things the others cannot grip. A hair that has broken off below the surface, a splinter of acrylic, a single rhinestone that has to go in one exact spot. The point reaches into a space a slant tip cannot enter, and it lets you work under an edge without pressing the surrounding skin.

It is a specialist tool, not a replacement for a slant pair. The fine point is also the part that bends if you use it as a lever, so keep it for gripping.

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.
