Uncle Bill's silver gripper... This is one of the best "hand" tools I could recommend.

Something makes me think there should be a picture posted here, but I am not seeing anything.

For the $3 to $4 price tag, how could you go wrong. You will love it!!! No personal shop should be without one or two or three.

In English, it's for pulling out splinters.
Assume you never get them.

Jack, dont feel bad, I was wondering what a "silver" gripper was too, but with the pic I realized that "sliver" had been misspelled as "silver" (grin)
I was expecting a small silver key fob in the shape of a hand that opened bottle caps.

After years of recommending this "hand" tool I guess it would be nice to be able to spell it .

Maybe silver sliver gripper is appropriate!

Ah... I see now. At least, I get the tweezer bit, but what's the other thing for?

The other thing holds it on your key ring.
