Personally, I have found the pointy tipped version almost impossible to use. I had such difficulty grabbing each hair. I use the slanted tips now and never have a problem plucking.
I have the bigger pair of tweezerman that came alone and my hubby has the dual package with both and they are a little bit smaller. i find mine are so much easier to use. just food for thought.....i think mine are from linens and things or bed bath and beyone and i have a 20% off coupon if you need it. let me know. You will love them!!
