Full details
The Neilsen CT3310 Hook and Pick Set is designed for automotive technicians, mechanics, and hobbyists who require precision tools for delicate extraction tasks like removing O-rings, seals, and gaskets. This 5-piece kit provides excellent leverage and reach thanks to its varying lengths, though the carbon steel construction requires diligent maintenance to prevent oxidation in high-moisture environments.

FAQs
Can these tools be used for electrical work?
While the steel is conductive, they are not insulated for high-voltage use. Do not use them on live electrical components.
What is the longest tool in the set?
The longest tool in the set reaches 420mm.
Are the tips replaceable if they break?
No, these are single-piece forged tools and the tips are not replaceable.
Is this set suitable for marine environments?
Carbon steel is prone to rust in salt air; extra care such as frequent oiling is required if used in marine settings.
Can I use these for prying heavy objects?
No, these are precision tools for seal and O-ring extraction; using them for prying may cause the metal to bend or break.
Troubleshooting
Tool tip is slipping off the seal
Ensure the correct hook profile is being used for the specific seal shape and increase the angle of insertion for a deeper 'bite'.
Surface rust appearing on the shaft
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to gently remove the rust, then wipe clean and apply a thin layer of machine oil for protection.
Handle becoming loose or oily
Degrease the handle with a non-solvent cleaner and ensure your hands are dry before use for the best grip.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tools are ready for immediate use straight out of the packaging. They are compatible with all general mechanical, plumbing, and automotive seal applications. To ensure maximum longevity, wipe the tools with a clean, lint-free cloth after each use to remove chemical residues, oil, and coolant. If working in a humid environment, apply a light coat of machine oil to the metal shafts before storage to prevent surface oxidation. Store the tools in a dedicated tray or roll to protect the precision tips from damage.
