Large tweezers, those that are 12 inches long or more, and used in kitchens for picking up food etc would not be permitted in carry on. Oddly, many people seem to be under the impression that tweezers are banned from airplanes but this is untrue. Any kind of scissors are allowed on board with you in the cabin as long as the blades are less than 4 inches 6cm long from the pivot point to the tip of the blade. If they are longer than 4 inches then they must go in your checked baggage, or you should leave them at home.
