wire removal

Flatted yesterday. Wasted fifteen minutes extracting the tiny wire from
the tire for lack of a proper tool. Will probably add tweezers to the
miniscule toolkit. Any better suggestions?

I've always managed to grab them with my fingers -- although it gets tough in the winter and in the rain. A small set of tweezers is certainly an option. Other options would be bulkier needle-nose or hemostats. According to this article, Kevlar belts and liners don't help: http://softsolder.com/2010/10/22/ano...michelin-hair/

I carry a Leatherman Juice (in my experience, the only multitool with a
corkscrew) and have been able to extract foreign bodies from tires and the
like with its pliers.
