I've included the above link to view some good examples of tweezers similar to what I use.
My favorite pair is like the one in the bottom of the picture, but where I bent the points to one side making more of a hooking action. I direct the hook direction away from the style, thereby missing it when I pull and shove the anther cone off the flower base.
In any event, I try to have a variety of tweezers available depending on the type of anther cone which is related to whatever variety you are emasculating.
Comfort through success, making failures less and less likely as the years, (yes, years) go by.
Cussing is a natural coinsurance to maintaining sanity while making crosses.
