I bought these on a whim, mostly out of curiosity wondering why they're so special because tweezers are tweezers right? Ohh man was I wrong! These are AMAZING! They grip the teeniest of hairs and yoink the thick ones right out, both by the roots and some how it hurts significantly less! They are a huge time saver because they work so effectively. I never thought I'd be jazzed about spending $40 on tweezers but the old saying is true again, you get what you pay for, and these are top quality.
