Best tweezers: Tweezerman

Tweezers aren't exactly the most glamorous utensil in the house, but when you need them, you need a really good pair.

These have a big "tweezing" surface, and they're designed so that each size comes together perfectly flat. You can get a great grip on whatever you're pulling, and it only very rarely slips. Even then it's likely because you loosened your grip.

If you're used to the crappy tweezer experience that is your generic drugstore tweezers, you're going to be delighted by these.
