pair of tweezers
Small gripping tool
A pair of tweezers is a small tool with two arms joined at one end, used for gripping tiny objects—plucking hairs, removing splinters, handling small components.
Like scissors and pants, tweezers takes the plural form even for a single instrument: Hand me the tweezers.
The "pair of" construction emphasizes the two-armed structure but is often dropped in casual speech.
