Let me preface my post by saying that I am not affiliated with Paul
Winchell in any way, but if you want a great pair of sliver tweezers you
can keep handy on your keyring for that errant splinter, Paul's your
man!  I just received mine from him (being the trusting soul he must be,
he sends you the tweezers and the invoice at the same time) and they're
great!  Contact him at [email-masked]
Best Regards,
Dave Fessler

This post was not necessary.  I would bet most posters to this
group have received the unsolicited advertising e-mail.

I have to agree with you there. Upon first look, while they were still
in the baggie, they look like something you could buy at a dollar store.
But upon closer examination, these little guys are machined to such a
small point that taking out a sliver is really quite easy. Had to try
them out on my 6 yr. old daughter the other day. It was a lot easier on
her then the safety pin. The distributer is in Canada, but the things
are made in the US. I now have to order another pair for the first aid
kit for camping, as these stay in my shop. I also have no affiliation
with the tweezer geezer and I commend him for shipping out these things
at no charge.

I do not have the tweezers but I will share what works for me on slivers.  I use a large toenail clipper with straight not curved blades.  These things can painlessly remove a cell layer of skin at a
time until the offending lumber is exposed. and can be easily removed.

Greetings

You can purchase fine tipped tweezers in steel, stainless steel, and
chrome plated steel from any medical or electronic tool supply
company. Look in your local yellow pages. If you get a catalog, you
can select from different styles and sharpness. Buy them by the gross
and give them away to your woodworking friends for Christmas. You can
pay from $2.00 to $80.00 dollars. The cheep ones are excellent for
removing splinters.
