Cosmetic & plucking tweezers:
For eyebrows and the precise removal of fine hairs. Slanted tips for larger areas, pointed tips for maximum precision, curved tips for spots that are hard to reach.

Technical tweezers:
For electronics, precision engineering and the laboratory. Made of anti-magnetic, rust-free stainless steel for accurate work in the smallest of spaces.

Which tweezers are the right ones?

The right tweezers depend above all on the shape of the tip:

  • Slanted tip – the all-rounder for plucking eyebrows. The angled edge grips several hairs at once and sits flat along the skin.
  • Pointed tweezers – for maximum precision with splinters, ingrown hairs and very fine hairs.
  • Straight tweezers – the classic for gripping and holding in nail and foot care.
  • Curved tweezers – a clearer view of the work area, popular for delicate work and lash care.

One thing counts with all four shapes: the tips have to close flush and without offset. Hold a closed pair up to the light – if you can see a gap, fine hairs will slip through.

Frequently asked questions about tweezers

Which tweezers are best for eyebrows?

For eyebrows, tweezers with a slanted tip are usually ideal – a secure grip, a clear view and several hairs at once. For very fine or ingrown hairs, use pointed tweezers. You will find every model under cosmetic tweezers; which shape suits which task is explained in Finding the right tweezers.

Which tweezers help with removing splinters?

For splinters, a fine splinter tweezer with a pointed tip works best, gripping even tiny splinters precisely. All models: splinter tweezers. Step-by-step guidance is given in Removing splinters.

What is the difference between pointed, slanted and curved tips?

Slanted: the all-rounder for eyebrows and plucking larger areas. Pointed: maximum precision for splinters and individual, fine or ingrown hairs. Curved: a better view, ideal for hard-to-reach places. More on this in Finding the right tweezers.

Which tweezers for ingrown hairs?

Pointed splinter or precision tweezers grip the hair precisely just below the skin without injuring it. Warm the skin beforehand and disinfect the tips.

How do I recognise genuine Solingen quality?

By precisely ground gripping surfaces, a clean, flush closure and durable materials – for a secure hold and a long service life. We carry leading Solingen brands such as Niegeloh, DOVO, Dreiturm and Erbe, as well as medical precision tweezers by RUCK.

Are there medical tweezers – and can they be sterilised?

Yes. Our medical tweezers (including those by RUCK) are made of stainless steel and suitable for reprocessing – they can be sterilised in an autoclave, for example (please follow the manufacturer's instructions).

Which tweezers are suitable for electronics and technical work?

Technical and specialist tweezers made of anti-magnetic stainless steel (ESD optional) are ideal for electronics, precision engineering, laboratory work and model making – they prevent unwanted magnetisation and allow precise work in the smallest of spaces.

What are automatic (self-closing) tweezers?

Automatic or self-closing tweezers are closed at rest and open only under pressure – ideal for holding small parts securely. You will find these models under technical and specialist tweezers.

What are magnifying or anatomical tweezers?

Magnifying tweezers have a built-in lens for the finest hairs and splinters; anatomical tweezers with a serrated tip hold securely without causing injury. Both are listed under technical and specialist tweezers.

Which tweezers help against blackheads?

For blackheads, pointed tweezers or a comedone extractor are suitable – considerably more hygienic than squeezing with your fingers.

How do I recognise a good pair of tweezers?

By tips that close exactly and flush (so they grip even the finest hairs), stainless steel, balanced spring tension and a comfortable grip. Details in Finding the right tweezers.

How do I care for, clean and disinfect my tweezers?

Clean them with alcohol after every use, dry them thoroughly and store them with the protective cap so the fine tips do not bend. Medical tweezers can additionally be sterilised as described in the instructions.

Which tweezers for foot care or podiatry?

In foot care, precision tweezers complement the cuticle nipper and other nail instruments – ideal for picking up small pieces of skin and ingrown hairs.

Which tweezers belong in a complete basic kit?

For a basic kit, tweezers with a slanted tip (eyebrows) plus a pointed splinter tweezer are enough. The full range is available under tweezers.
