The Tweezerman Mini Slant is the best tweezers I’ve ever had! It’s very functional and a great size plus it travels anywhere!
Parallelogram Tip
I love the parallelogram tip for two reasons. First, instead of the two prongs only touching on the tip they come together on a parallelogram. This means that besides the very tip, which is a line segment on many tweezers, you have the sides of the tip that are completely usable too. This makes the Mini Slant a versatile hair extraction device. Second, slanted tip gives a point that can be used for precise work. The next time I have a splinter I look forward to using the Mini Slant to extract it! I included a picture that you should be able to see the tip on.
Grip
The rubberized grip is fine. I like the look of it. It didn’t make it feel easier to hold or less slippery to me but I never really had problems with tweezers slipping out of my hands.
Size
I thought it may be too small but I was very happy with the size. I’m not sure why I would need a larger tweezers anymore. This works as well or better than any other one I’ve used and I prefer the tip on this to others I’ve used. I included some pictures of it next to a golf ball for comparison.
Travel Tube
It comes with a tube to put it in. While I don’t need a different one for home and away, this one conveniently travels anywhere in the tube with easy. I have a small zipper pocket that I usually don’t use. It fits in there easily. I’ve started to take it with me sometimes just because I can. You never know when you might need a tweezers!

These are exquisitely fashioned tweezers. My wife has gone through a good dozen in the past 8 years. She said these are easily the best she’s ever used, including a German-made set she once had. We will be getting additional tweezers as gifts for other family members. A good pair of tweezers is a worth their weight in gold! The grasp of these are wonderful. Stray hairs are no match for them!

Tweezerman 2-5/8” mini slant tweezer with non-slip and colorful coating and precision ground tip is tweezing perfection. Whether plucking hair, removing splinters or picking up tiny items for hobbyists or DIY projects, it’s a handy tool to have around. At its $12 mini cost at Best Buy, you might want to buy more than one for home and it’s a great gift idea for almost anyone.
As a Tweezerman customer for about 40 years, I can attest to the product’s enduring quality and longevity.
Its angled tip provides both a sharp point and a flat edge for just about any need. I like the enamel-like coating on this model more than the slick feel of the stainless steel appearance models, but all will have the same quality where it counts, at the tip.
Sold with a clear and sturdy tubular holder and snap-in cap, this is where you’ll want to keep it when not in use, not only to protect it but to aid in avoiding misplacing it among other items because the case adds artificial bulk. You wouldn’t want to lose this little gem.
Their warranty is a double-edge sword. The company provides a two-year guarantee from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects. What can be defective? This is a simple product and they’ve been at it long enough to know how to manufacture that prevents the two pieces that comprise the tweezer from uncoupling. The company also offers free sharpening for life!
Here is the double edge. Return it at your expense and the company will top up the tips, unless it has been damaged, then return it to you at their expense. So far, so good. The turnaround time, according to the company website, is, “ a minimum of ten (10) working weeks for US orders. . .”
Most of us would not want to be without our tweezers for at least 10 weeks unless we had a spare. Besides, the cost is so little, most of us, this reviewer included, will just purchase a replacement down the road IF our tweezers no longer grab as when new. We have only replaced one of more than a dozen purchased over the years. With reasonable care and appropriate use, what is there to wear out?
How many products today have the potential to be useful over a lifetime? Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezers could certainly fall into this category. Just the right size and just the right tip for most jobs.

These are a solid pair of tweezers! Close precisely and firmly to catch any errant hair in one tug! For a lot of tweezing I would go with the full size Tweezerman for sure but with the handy little case it comes with it’s perfect for a purse or duty bag. Get both! With this kind of precision it would also be good for splinters. Great job Tweezerman!
TECHBEENGOOD –
Tweezerman’s Mini Slant Tweezer comes in this pretty Blooming Lilac color. More importantly, it offers both precise control and a refined edge that grips hairs tightly. I like the simple carry case also. Recommended.

This is one of several models of tweezers that the Tweezerman company sells. It is designed smaller and is an excellent tweezer. I should note I have other Tweezerman products and the design and materials are top-notch across all the Tweezerman products I have used. This tweezer out performs any tweezer I have owned before. The business end is hand filed to perfectly align. One target of course is facial hair and this tweezer securely grabs even the thinnest hairs for example eyebrows, beard and even slightly imbedded hairs; and it does not slip off so removal is guaranteed. The other use I had was for a splinter in my hand. Again, this tweezer helped to grab the very tiny and thin wood splinter and pull it out – great. I won’t buy any other brand of tweezer, the Tweezerman tweezers are the tops, my tip of the cap to the engineers.

Perfect size for carrying in your pocket (or purse). Every hair I plicked I was able to get a grip on the first time I tried, unlike the old, tired pair of tweezers I had from another brand that kept letting them slip.
Highly recommended!

As a Tech Insider Network member I get a lot of unique products to review and integrate into my life. Getting to review a top tier quality pair of tweezers was an unexpected surprise and I am happy I got the chance to do so.
There are two things that make these Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezers unique and awesome – first, they have a sort of plastic/enamel coating which will almost certainly hold up better than the typical metal finish of your average pair of tweezers. I also feel that it gives a little more purchase to your grip on an otherwise tiny pair of tweezers. That goes hand in hand with the sharp edge of these tweezers – between the small size and honed tips, you can pluck exactly the hair you are aiming for every time. Plus, the tweezers come with a tiny plastic vial to hold them when you travel, which should keep them from getting bent or damaged in your bag.

These tweezers are very compact but still allow for an amazing amount of grip and control! Comes with a plastic carrying tube that keeps the sharps edges safe and clean. The color is very nice and the paint provides a nice texture.

These Tweezerman mini tweezers are perfect for anyone who uses tweezers. The tweezers are solidly built and have a nice feel to them so they don’t slip when you try to use them. The ends aligned perfectly and the force required to clamp the arms together wasn’t excessive. Because of the solid build you can clamp down hard on what you are trying to pull out. With lower quality tweezers the hairs can slip from the clamp when you pull – not the case with these. They come with a nice plastic tube container for storage which is great for a purse or travel kit. Lastly because they are the mini version it lets you get more clamping power closer to the ends which I think is a definite advantage.

These are some great little tweezers. They are not full sized, so don’t be surprised when they arrive and they are smaller than normal. They do the job a full sized version though. I’ve plucked super tiny/short hairs with success. There have been a few times where the hair does not come out all the way but breaks off. I hate that. With this pair, I’d say that happens 1-2x out of 10 which is pretty darn good. Sometimes the grip may not be quite right, so is it the tweezers or operator error? Additionally, I live with a tweezer snob and this one definitely rivals the other high dollar ones we have. The edges are sharp. So for now, this will be the pair I reach for first since it’s doing a good job. The container it comes in is cute too. It keeps the edges from getting dull by preventing banging into other beauty tools (assuming you cram those things together in a bag or drawer like me.)
Size is 2 5/8 inches. For reference, my full sized version are 3 3/8 inches. So it is 3/4 inches smaller than a regular sized tweezer.

These tweezers are adorable! The purple coating makes them easy to grip. I also like that the head has flat edges that come together to help grab whatever you are trying to tweeze.
I have used these on my eyebrows but I imagine they will work well with splinters.
The carrying case makes them perfect for throwing in your purse or travel bag.

I was intrigued to get a chance to test these. Best Buy carrying tweezers? I figured they must be good if they are stocking them in a store known for technology, having to give up shelf space. I was correct. After using these for a little while, I know if I owned a store that carried only a few things like this, this would be a front runner. these come in a little tube that I actually use to store them in. They are a smaller tweezer, easier to travel with, but does not detract from functionality. Made of solid feeling metal and powder coated paint with a slight texture, the grip is good. The tip aligns well, tight grip on stuff, good edge and point. I have used these for several splinters from my spring yard keeping,and they were precise and gripped the splinter easily, came out full. also for picking single hairs, easy and usually only 1 try and they are gone. My wife wants to steel them all the time to use. The price is competitive. I recommend these.

I can honestly say I never would have thought to look at Bestbuy for tweezers. Tweezerman have always been a solid choice and these are no different. Great for tweezing hair.

The Tweezerman Tweezers
These lightweight tweezers are in a plastic case making them easy to transport and carry with you. The slanted head makes it easy to see what you are tweezing. The grip is nice and it stayed together to get the job done. The ends are reinforced and strong. They are small but coated so you can hold onto them without them slipping out of your hand. I would recommend these tweezers.

sharp little tweezers. they work great for small little areas. I used them for my brows and it was perfect!

Tweezerman makes the best tweezers. Period. Not sure why no one else has stumbled on the simplicity and effectiveness of a sharp end and smooth slant, but from splinters to hair to ticks, these are the go to.
The dipped coating is pretty and functional in that they do not slip in your fingers. The short length is PERFECT for actually getting tension and leverage. Other tweezers somehow have air between the ends, and you end up removing skin trying to get the splinter or hair in a grip enough to actually pluck.
Tweezerman tweezers work every time, and I won’t buy another brand.
Netta –
The design does make it easier to grip individual hairs at shorter lengths. It’s a really good compact size.
CKent –
As far as tweezers go, these are top-notch and high quality. The spring tension is perfect, they’re easy to grip, and they can pull hairs no problem.
For me, the biggest issue I have with finding good tweezers is getting ones that actually grab and pull a hair without just cutting through them. These don’t have that problem. It has perfectly made ‘pads’ that are flat and grab hairs just right without cutting through them.
So if you need some tweezers, you can’t go wrong with Tweezerman! And as a bonus they even come with a nice protective tube case to store them in.

Good mini tweezers. Good for fine hair. Comes with a carrying tube.

The problem with ordinary cheap tweezers is that it is frustrating at times trying to grab hair or splinters because the tips don’t close flush. With this Tweezerman tweezer, when you grab onto hair, its got a death grip on it and makes the job done on the first time. The quality of the metal feels great in the hand and does not fatigue. Comes in a nice plastic tube to keep the tweezer sanitary on transport. Overall, sometimes you need to just spend money on quality instead of cheap convenience store tweezer.

I’ve seen and heard of the Tweezerman name before but never took the plunge and tried them. Now I’m not sure why I waited so long!
They have sharp, precise edges that easily grab even the most stubborn hairs/whiskers, Their small size makes them easy to grip and the clear storage tube makes them easy to travel with, and keeps them from getting damaged.
The lilac color is a nice touch and makes them easy to spot, even in the bottom of “the drawer”.
Caution: the edges are very sharp (which is what makes them so good) but they can cut you if you’re overly aggressive and whiskers are overly stubborn.
Not sure why I spent so many years using cheap drugstore tweezers when these are absolutely the best.
You certainly can’t go wrong with Tweezerman!

There’s a very nit-picky product designer out there somewhere who thought about every aspect of these tweezers. And the world is better for it. These tweezers have amazing gapless pincers, making it a breeze to grasp the tiniest of hairs, splinters, or delicate wires from circuit boards. Plus, these are the mini version, not as long as regular tweezers. This makes it easer to maneuver in tight spaces. They come with a plastic storage tube, making it easier to find in your purse or wherever you store them.

Tweezers have one job, and these tweezers do that job well. There’s not a whole lot to say about them. They feel well made and have no gaps or anything in the tips. They tweeze very well. They come with a nice little container thing to store them in, which is a nice touch. Overall great pair of tweezers.

I always kept a pair of tweezers in my EDC for splinters or other fine grabbing/picking. Initially I stole an old small pair my wife had. They were terrible. Could never grab hold of fine hairs or really small splinters. And the dull tips made it hard to pinpoint my grabs. I went searching for better tweezers and found Tweezerman. What a difference! Firm grips even when the object is wet. Tips are sharp and can dig 2 get to the foreign object. I let my wife use this after put hers back and she immediately stole my stainless pair. I got the purple pair to get my stainless pair back. Needless to say I am a fan of the Tweezerman stuff I have them all over! They are a bit more than the cheapies but I’m not aware of anything that works better!
Tweed –
Great tweezers! They’re on the smaller size which I prefer. The color doesn’t matter to me but purple is pretty. They fit great in a purse or makeup bag. The clear tube case keeps the tweezers clean in between uses!

These Tweezerman mini tweezers are pretty much perfect. I’m sure you can find plenty of reviews saying this. This brand has a great reputation for quality and I can say we currently have 2 other Tweezerman tweezers and have been impressed with their durability. Whether you are plucking hairs or removing a splinter or any other typical tweezers applications I suspect you will be very happy with this product. I have used lower quality tweezers before that don’t fully grip a tiny hair, not an issue with these. Being a household with 2 Tweezerman tweezers already, why did we want a 3rd? Well we like to have one upstairs and one downstairs, but we have discovered a 3rd use for them.
We have chickens, my girl friend and soul mate is the official chicken tender around here. Chickens can get a condition known as bumblefoot, which is basically a staph infection around a splinter type situation. A bad infection needs, among other things, a good scalpel and tweezers to clean up the area. The precision combined with the firmness of these Tweezerman mini tweezers work fantastic in this capacity. My girlfriend gives these 2 thumbs up as an essential tool in keeping her chickens healthy. I’m guessing this is the first and only review of this product you will read talking about chickens and bumblefoot lol.
At the end of the day these are just a pair of tweezers, no one has re-invented the wheel. But it is nice to see in the modern age some products are still built with quality, precision and durability in mind. We love these things and would absolutely recommend them to a friend.

The Mini Slant Tweezer from Tweezerman does what it’s designed for – a useful tweezer in a smaller package to help out working on your eyebrows. The tip is slanted which helps guide it accurately, and the body is a nob-slip metallic piece which provides excellent grip. Furthermore, a travel tube comes with it so putting it into a bag or purse is not an issue. Using this tweezer I found that the tension is just right, at least for the time being, and I hope it stays the same with future use. The bonus part is this tweezer is TSA compliant. For the price and quality, this is a no brainer.

Having a set of tweezers on you at all times is surprisingly handy. The Tweezerman mini slant tweezers are about the size of my pinky finger. The tube that comes with is a little thinner and a touch longer than a tube of lip balm. From removing splinters, bee stingers, and ticks for the outdoorsy types, to handling tiny electronic components while fixing your neighbor’s PC that mysteriously keeps breaking so she’s always calling you over late on a Friday, being able to pop these out of your stylish shoulder bag is a lifesaver. I thought that this small a set of tweezers would be difficult to use, but even after a long session of placing perler beads, I didn’t feel any discomfort. They are small enough to easily misplace, however, as this set keeps on getting lost, but I can always somehow find it in my wife’s purse whenever I go looking for it. I keep asking her about it, but she just raises one perfectly manicured brow and smirks at me.

I’ve used generic tweezers for all of my life. Well, I’ve seen the light. These are excellent tweezers.
Texasshopper –
I like the feel and color of these tweezers. They are quite small. I like the nifty container to keep them stored in.
Tuckman –
Perfect small tweezer set. Comes in round plastic tube that only serves to confuse me. I have larger hands and using them is easy. They do a decent job on getting the hair but it’s not “ every hair every time”. For the price I thinks a good value and would recommend to anyone looking for a good set of tweezers. Most tweezers I’ve had stop working correctly after a few months but this set is still like new. Hope this helps.
