Splinters are the absolute worst! I usually handle them with my fingers or nails, but there's a stubborn one on my ring finger that's causing me a lot of pain whenever I touch anything. I have to resort to using my Swiss Army knife tweezers, but I'm wondering what everyone's go-to tweezers or methods are for removing those pesky little splinters?

Tweezerman tweezers are my top choice! I've been using them for years, and they just work so well for getting splinters out with precision.
Check out Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers! They’re specifically designed for fine work and can really help with splinters. Plus, they have a funny dual-use for self-defense if you need it!
If you're finding the splinter is deeper than it looks, I've had success using a sharp pin to dig out the area around the splinter first. Once it’s closer to the surface, any tweezer really will do!
That's a good tip! Sometimes you just need to loosen the skin before pulling it out.
Haha, I love that idea! A tweezer that doubles as a defensive tool is a clever combo!
