I have been contacted about there being some imitation tweezers of the Sliver Grippers on Amazon. Please make sure that the manufacturer is El Mar or that the product is returnable if they don’t know. I hope this never happens to you. We are a small business and can’t stay on top of everything, but will try our best. Right now the operation is just me and my mom plus our manufacturer. We are lucky enough to to business from the USA all the way to Japan and New Zealand. Thank you to all the loyal customers. Have a nice weekend.
