Then, the sharp pointed tweezers have a very effective sharp and fine point. It is always pretty easy now to grip sliver and remove.
The magnifier is adjustable for distance to match anyone's vision perfectly. The magnifier is clear and un-distorted. It does have a rather short range of focus as is natural with high power simple lenses. I found that the best way to bring the into focus at the sliver is the "open" the hinge to a distance beyond the focus distance. Then place the tweezer point near the sliver. As you look through the lens, then slowly push the magnifier closer to the skin my eye brow until exact focus. It is easier than it sounds.
Don't waste the extra $3 for the version with the fussy LED light built in. This one works just fine. Simply find a bright light to work under and don't mess with the un-needed complication of the built in light.
At the current "Add On Item" price of four dollars, this is a great bargain. My only problem is that my wife has laid claim to my first pair to use with her sewing and I had to order another pair for myself. She likes these a lot for picking out fine threads and seams.

I actually had another new set of tweezers, same brand, new in the package (I bought 1 for every family member for Christmas). I swapped batteries. The pair of tweezers I used 1st are still broken. I’m Unsure why. Return denied because I waited too long. But I opened them at Christmas and bought them in nov.
