Hand-filed alignment is the difference and it is a real one: a machine-ground tweezer meets at the point but not along the whole edge, so it slides off a fine hair where an aligned slant grips the full shaft.

| Care | Wipe the tips after use; product residue is what dulls the grip | not published |
| How it works | not published | Same bond-repair active as No.4, in a conditioning base |
| Leave-in time | not published | 3 to 5 minutes. Longer does not improve the result -- the reaction is not time-dependent past that |
| Pairing | not published | Designed to follow the No.4 shampoo; the two are a system rather than alternatives |
| Sharpening | Tweezerman resharpens free of charge, which effectively makes it a lifetime tool | not published |
| Silicone | not published | Contains silicones, which some curly-hair routines exclude |
| Steel | Stainless, so it can be alcohol-sterilised repeatedly without pitting | not published |
| Tension | Calibrated -- too stiff and it fatigues the hand, too soft and it slips | not published |
| Tip | Hand-filed slant, aligned under magnification | not published |
| Weight | not published | Light enough for fine hair, unlike most repair conditioners |
| Who needs it | not published | Chemically treated hair. Virgin hair has few broken bonds |
| Why hand filing matters | Machine-ground tips meet at a point but not along the full edge. A hand-aligned slant grips the whole hair shaft, which is why it grabs a hair a cheap tweezer slides off | not published |
