This tweezer has rounded tips for safe tweezing. This means no poking! It has the same patented spring technology as the Smart Tweeze (SS-515) which allows for the tips to come completely together when squeezed hard. Regular tweezers often bow open when too much pressure is placed on the tips. The rounded tips also allow for tweezing at different angles. It's great for tweezing sensitive areas such as ears and nose hairs. The Safe Round Tip Tweeze is diabetic friendly. More tweeze, less squeeze!
