Big mistake in tool selection for adjusting my SubC bracelet...

As I was adjusting the bracelet on my SubC last week, it occurred to me that a pair of rubber-coated tweezers would be handy for removing the screws (if you've done this, you know what I mean). Off to Amazon for instant gratification...

One click and two days later, the largest set of tweezers I've ever seen arrived on my desk!

Guess I should have read the fine print.

Back they go!

I'd keep 'em for when you drop a french fry down between the center console & seat of your car...

WOW... You... aaaahh... have a ahhhh... big set of ahhh... TWEEZERS!
Holy crap, I'd keep em though, probably come in handy for something. As soon as you send them back some project will come along and you'll wish you had them back.

Great idea!

And...got me to thinking it'd work well for those coins I'm always dropping down there too.

Snagged $1.07 already! Only need a few more and I can start an "incoming" thread!
