Can the pliers on high-end Leathermans (Leathermen ¿?) work as tweezers?

Hi guys!

For the last week I've been carrying only a LM Wingman and although the tool takes care of pretty much every little job I stumble upon, having carried a SAK for 10+ years, I often find myself missing my tweezers (the toothpick not so much).

I've tried using the pliers to remove splinters, hangnails, digging out thorns, etc. but they're not very good at that, I know the pliers are not meant for this kind of detailed jobs, however I was wondering if the higher-end tools like the Wave or Charge (which are supposed to have better pliers) are more useful at those tasks?
Thanks!!!
 
When I'm carrying a multi that doesn't have tweezers I put an uncle bill's sliver gripper on the keychain. Huge pliers are never going to make good tweezers regardless of how expensive they are. They have to be thick enough to be durable = bad tweezers.
 
Yep, Just as I suspected, I'll have to carry yet another thing on my keychain!
 
It works. But if you try to pull a hair and squeeze just a little too hard it will actually cut the hair...
 
Early on I tried, but found no joy. Those dinky SAK tweezers actually work better, but dedicated ones are best.
