Well its tough to choose between the two, but for the slot I would always choose tweezers as I cut the little nub off the toothpick and keep it in my wallet so I always have a toothpick no matter what.

See, the main reason I started this thread is because I was lamenting the loss of tweezers in my EDC with my new manager. I don't use the tweezers very often, but I like having them on me in case I get a splinter or a tick. I cut out little 3x5 card in the shape of a credit card, taped the tweezers down to them and stuck it in my wallet. Now I can have the tweezers at hand in case of an emergency, while still having the toothpick easy to access where I need it on my SAK!
Toothpick. I don't think the tweezers work particularly well...
Tweezers for me. Toothpick only really gets used for cleaning fluff out of the crevices of SAKs.
I used the toothpick once, but only because it was a new, fresh from pack toothpick. I don't use them for the intended purpose, considering all the places my SAKs have been! You should have seen the gunk I removed from the liner when I pulled off the damaged scales on my Fieldmaster to replace them. I too use it mostly for cleaning stuff that gets caught in a knife that prevents it from closing.
The Swiss Army Knife Owner's Manual says this about choosing between toothpick and tweezers when installing a pen:Modification 24. The Officer can writeAny of the Officer models that has a toothpick or tweezer can have an SAK pen instead of the T or T: Remove the T (or T). Hold the knife between the jaws of a vise, padded with cardboard, so the plastic scale will not bulge away from the liner when the bit goes in. Send a twirling drill bit down the T or T hole, keeping the bit against the liner. All Vic pens, long (91mm knives) and short (58 mm Signature I and II), are .09” or 2.2mm wide; a 3/32 (or a #41 = .096”) bit works. The toothpick is better to give up for a pen not because there is something in the way behind the cross & shield emblem (there isn’t) but because you can pick your teeth but not pull a splinter with the pen.
Tweezers. The toothpick is a bit of a chocolate teapot in my eyes.
Toothpick. I always keep Uncle Bills tweezers on me and they are ten times better. These are the big 3 that stays on my keychain. (Image removed from quote.)TweezersNail ClippersSignature
Tweezers for me. Harder to improvise, compared to the toothpick.
