Maybe getting lumber at your local hardware store.<\/p>\n<p>Or, eww, need to remove a tick?*<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to have a set of tweezers I could put on my keychain. It needed to be sharp enough that I could dig out a stubborn sliver broken off under the skin and go with me hiking and camping and through the TSA too.<\/p>\n<p>I found it in the <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/pocket-tweez\">Pocketweez<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Like any tool once you use it you find others things to use it for. I dropped a tiny machine screw inside the electronics I was repairing that was non ferrous and not retrievable with a magnet.<\/p>\n<p>Worked great.<\/p>\n<p>(*The CDC says: Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin&#8217;s surface as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don&#8217;t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/01\/pocketweez-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25778\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/01\/pocketweez-2.jpg\" alt=\"pocketweez-2\" width=\"680\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/01\/pocketweez-2.jpg 680w, https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2016\/01\/pocketweez-2-300x182.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweezer snaps into a lightweight handle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25776"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25776"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25776\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37117,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25776\/revisions\/37117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
