Tweezers History:
Tweezers are known to have been used in predynastic Egypt. There are drawings of Egyptian craftsmen holding hot pots over ovens with a double-bow shaped tool. Asiatic tweezers, consisting of two strips of metal brazed together were common to Mesopotamia and India about 3000 B.C. These likely served purposes such as catching lice.[1] There is evidence of Roman shipbuilders pulling nails out of construction with plier-type pincers.
Eyelash curler: William Beldue and his Kurlash Company held patents in Canada, the United States and Great Britain for the eyelash curler and improvements to it.
Nail clippers: The invention of nail clippers has been attributed to Chapel Carter in 1896. Before then, nail scissors and nail files were used.
