I used to dread replacing old Canon AE-1 shutter curtains, but a $12 set of angled tweezers from a watch repair kit changed the game

I mean, I'd fight with the alignment for an hour, but now it's under 15 minutes. Anyone else find a simple tool that saved them on a common repair?

Hell yeah, angled tweezers are a lifesaver.

My old flat tweezers were useless for splinters. Then I tried a cheap angled pair from the pharmacy... it was like a different tool. I get the hype now.

Consider how they help with tiny screws in electronics too. @taylor.sean is right about splinters, but the angled tip is perfect for gripping those little metal bits. It's a weirdly good tool for more than first aid.
