    Anywho, tweezers is on the list. And named a 'precision'
    product... $40.

    Do you carry a tweezer, routinely? Is any tweezer worth
    that price?

    Anything regarding tools is on topic for an engineering group -

    Good tweezers are the curved-end needle-point types, which you
    wouldn't want to carry around.

    If you get a splinter, just dig it out with your Swiss Army knife.

    No. A multitool and a mains testing screwdriver. The latter has saved my
    bacon more than once. My first university room had a defective worn out anglepoise lamp with a live chassis! I found it before it found me.

    Can't beat a good lump hammer.
