How to sharpen tweezers


How can I sharpen tweezers?

Question From: Sheila - Aug 10th 2003



Replies:

I have tried using a diamond-chip emery board (for nails) on my cheaper tweezers, sort of like sharpening a knife before you carve...
You 'tweeze' the emery board, one 'blade' on each side, squeeze and pull repeatedly...

Seems to at least remove anything gunky or slippery and make the tweezers sharper for several uses...

Good luck!

Here's the only sharpener I've found so far. I just ordered it - I hope it works because I'm tired of dead tweezers!

Why sharpen tweezers anyway? They are not designed to cut, only to grip something between two flat surfaces. Maybe you should try nail clippers if you want to cut through something..
