End of Summer?

I find it interesting how school starts sooner and sooner over the years. Where did the summer go? There used to be a bunch of summer camps over a three month plus span and now it seems that summer has been cut to a month and a half or two tops.

Back to school shopping or for yourself back to work? The Sliver Grippers come in more than one form. E-mail for other options: kjslivergripper@gmail.com

Sharpen your tweezers

All tweezers get a little dull after a while and some may break. The Sliver Gripper is made to last a lifetime, so if you ever need to sharpen your tweezers you can follow these simple instructions:

Grasp the emery board, and pull. Repeat this movement in different directions to ensure that the tips are properly and thoroughly sharpened. Another way to sharpen tweezers is by using sandpaper. The method is exactly the same. Quick and simple!

Eyelashes

I find it interesting working with many different industries and to learn how they use the Sliver Gripper. The fashion world uses them for many things, but my grandfather originally invented their pin point precision to remove a sliver that his nephew had. The other day one lady told me that she uses them to remove her fake eyelashes. And another said she uses them to separate her lashes after putting on mascara instead of a eyelash brush because it can be more precise! What sort of new way will people come up with next?

Summer Gear

As the summer approaches so does the inevitable need for tweezers. Outdoor activities like camping, hiking, building, working with our hands, ect. Splinters are everywhere and so are tics. Be careful and also stay prepared. A tweezer can be helpful in many situations and can also make fun little gifts!

Slant Vs Point

Slant-Tip Tweezers. Yes, the classic slant-tip is considered a staple. Its shape is said to be ideal for tweezing brows as the edge can easily grab hairs. However, the Point-Tip can be used for more precise plucking. This style can even be used to apply false lashes. Why not go for precision?

Tweezer History

Tweezers as we know them today serve many practical functions, like plucking one’s eyebrows, removing a splinter from the skin, reparing a watch, cooking or performing delicate surgical operations. They can also be used to manipulate mechanical parts and generally handle any object too small for the human hand to comfortably grab.

This handy invention dates back to pre-Dynastic Egypt and was probably used for beading and other delicate tasks. According to Wikipedia, drawings of Egyptian craftsmen have been discovered that depict the use of a double-bow, tweezer-like tool used to grip pots and hold them over ovens. By 3000 B.C., tweezers were used in Mesopotamia and India. Evidence shows that the Romans also used them.

Painless removal

There are many ways to pluck your brows, but why use chemicals, heat or strenuous effort. With the efficiency of the pin point of Uncle Bill's Original Sliver Grippers it makes it easy to grip the hair (or sliver/tick/etc). For hair removal simply grip the hair and then with the pointer finger of your other hand press down on the surround skin. This will also lessen redness as well as the pull/pain that can come with tweezing.

Sports Eye Safety Month

Tens of thousands of sports and recreation-related eye injuries occur each year. The good news is that 90 percent of serious eye injuries are preventable through use of appropriate protective eyeware.  The risk of eye injury can vary depending on the activity. Make sure the level of eye protection you or others in your family use is appropriate for the type of activity. Regular eyeglasses do not offer proper eye protection.

There are many polls going on on whether professional athletes should be required to wear eye protection? What do you think?

April Awareness April 9-13

I thought that I would come back to the awareness month like I did the past two months here and there. I find them so interesting and with Tweezers being a small part of the health industry with our many doctor customers and the part they play removing ticks (lime disease) I wanted to give back.

Last week was Cancer Registrars Week (National). Since this post someone did not get published I felt that it was still important to post so people knew about options.

A cancer registry is a systematic collection of data about cancer and tumor diseases. The data are collected by Cancer Registrars. Cancer Registrars capture a complete summary of patient history, diagnosis, treatment, and status for every cancer patient in the United States, and other countries. The median annual Tumor Registrar salary is $50,183, as of January 30, 2018, with a range usually between $45,429-$55,972, however this can vary widely depending on a variety of factors.
