Advantages: great grip and quality

Disadvantages: competitors do the job for less

I was bought a pair of these an a present; when i found out they were £15 normal retail value i was a little horrified - it seemed very expensive for what looked like a normal pair of tweezers.

I am since not sure about whether i think they are worth the value - on one hand they have the best grip on small hairs, they are sturdy and they slant is designed perfectly to raise little hairs. They come with free sharpening for life however i have never needed to use this as they stay sharp and grip well; mine are going for two years now!

However, i lost them for a short period of time so bought a cheap Boots £4 look-alike. Is there that much difference? I hate to say it but there is not enough difference to warrant the increase in price - they did grip marginally less than the tweezerman brand but they still were very good and did the job.

I think in terms of quality they are good, and technically they are one of the best in the market, but... the only reason i think they would be worth paying the extra for would be if you wanted one of the unusual designs... dont base your decision on the fact they are good quality as, to be honest, the Boots ones were of lesser quality but still did the job perfectly well!

Summary: Buy only as a special treat.
