Tweezerman Tweezers may not seem like an essential jobsite tool, but if you’ve remodeled anything, you know they are.
Jobsite and workshop safety are important, of course. And as many ladders I climb, scaffolds I use, or roofs I install, I want to do it again, which, at its most basic, requires me to remain “un-killed” as Longshanks said in Braveheart about his queens visit with William Wallace.
But not all injuries are of the catastrophic variety. Indeed, most are pesky—like slivers.
I just got a gnarly one yesterday on a hunk of rough-sawn douglas fir framing that my house is built with. But the good news is that I keep a great set of tweezers handy.
These aren’t your sharp-as-a-marble variety either. They’re Tweezerman tweezers and they get in there and pluck out what ales you.
My wife Theresa keeps tweezers with her craft supplies to help with fine work or gluing small items, and in her toolbelt, too. There are endless ways they come in handy.
And for getting slivers out of kids’ hands, sharp tweezers can make the difference in everyone’s day.
Do you carry tweezers with your tools?
