It may be just me, but every time I mill rough timber I end up full of splinters. Knowing this, I bought the tweezers in the link below some years ago.
These have never failed me-always and easily retrieve the finest slivers of wood. I know this is an odd kind of tool review, but after dispatching the tenth sliver today I thought I'd give 'em the thumbs-up.
