Yep, that's the item. Tiny little things. A bit less than 2" long and the stainless steel strap material is 3/8" wide. They usually come with a little clip that allows you to keep the gripper reliably on a key chain, or, using a screw, to mount the holder in a tool box or first-aid kit. A needle, strong light, magnifier, and a Silver Gripper make a well equipped splinter removal kit.

My advice is to buy them two at a time because you save a little money and at least one is going to get lost, or grow legs. I've never seen one worn out, but they do tend to wander.

I've no affiliation with Uncle Bill's or Amazon. I just know a simple and effective tool when I use one.
