    Abstract: Tweezers are disclosed for example folding tweezers. In some implementations the tweezers include a protective member and a tweezer member pivotably mounted on the protective member to allow the tweezer member to rotate relative to the protective member between a first position, in which the tweezer member is protected by the protective member, and a second position, in which the tweezer member is exposed. The tweezer member may be mounted adjacent the distal end of the protective member, and may include a portion configured to extend beyond the distal end of the protective member when the inner tweezer member is in the first position.
