subject: Tweezers More Than Just A Beauty Device [print this page] At their most basic, a pair of tweezers makes use of two third-class levers that are connected at one fixed end or fulcrum point, with the pincers at the other ends. For decades tweezers have been assisting both men and women in keeping their brows neat and tidy. No need to have the proverbial uni-brow or mis-shaped brow. A simple pair of tweezers will get rid of even the most unruly or misplaced hairs or those tucked into places even a razor won"t find.
But tweezers can be so much more! Many children end up in the doctor"s office or the emergency room each year because they have put a foreign object in their nose or ear. A curious child will take a Lego block or a Tic Tac and find all the places they can make it fit, including the nose. Now a Tic Tac in the nose will be uncomfortable and give even the calmest mother a moment of fright as she contemplates the dilemma. Most children at this age have not learned the fine art of blowing their noses, so that is not an option for removal of the item. But a pair of tweezers can come to the rescue. A pair of slanted soft touch tweezers will give Mom the precision she needs to grab that object and remove it without fear of pushing it further into the cavity.
At the craft table or in the sewing box, a pair of tweezers will provide the ability to work with even the tiniest items with precision. A thread that has come loose in the hem of your pants; the plastic string that attaches the price tag and has gone missing in the collar of your new shirt; or placing the sequin or gem in just the right place on the pattern -- just a few ideas of where a pair of tweezers will come in handy. Perhaps you are putting together a handmade card and want that embellishment in just the right spot? The soft touch tweezers give you the proper grip so that you can attach that crystal exactly where you want it. On a more basic note, the heat of the embossing gun can be very intense to the unprotected hand, but a pair of tweezers will allow you to grip the piece of card stock with no damage to your piece of art and finish the heating process without harm to your fingertips.
In the toolbox, a pair of tweezers can be very handy for holding the finishing nail in place while wielding the hammer. Or have you dropped a nail into a tiny crack and it needs to be retrieved? Losing that last finishing nail can be very frustrating when you are at the end of a project and all you needed was that last little brass nail that has escaped into a crack. Some spots are just too tiny for fingers or pliers to maneuver, but a pair of tweezers will come to the rescue.
Tweezers are also a handy addition to the kitchen tool drawer. Picking up and placing the tiny seeds or pieces of items you may be adding to your dinner or heating the sugar pattern on the top of the Crme Brule , you will find yourself reaching for this handy tool frequently. They can even be used for boning a fish fillet.
Have you ever tried to put a tiny battery into a watch or hearing aid? It"s nearly impossible to grasp such miniscule objects, but tweezers can come to the rescue to help reach places your fingers weren"t meant to fit in the first place.
The hobbyist will definitely appreciate a pair of soft-gripped tweezers that give them that extra touch to securely grab hold of the pieces of a model airplane or the corner of a stamp, keeping it protected from the natural oils of the human hand. Even a coin can be picked up and placed in the pocket of a collector"s book. And the jeweler will use multiple pairs of tweezers to hold the gold wires or place the diamond chips. One basic tool, so many uses!
