FAQs

What types of picks are included in the set?

The set includes a Straight Pick, Right Angle Pick, Half-Round Pick, Swan Neck Pick, and two specialized tips (45°/90° and 40°/45°).

What is the primary use for these picks?

They are ideal for precision tooling, such as O-ring removal, and for tasks involving picking pins and clips in tight or hard-to-reach spaces.

Are these tools suitable for heavy-duty prying?

No, these picks are designed for precision and delicate tasks. They are not intended for heavy-duty prying or applying significant force, which could cause them to bend or break.

How should I clean and maintain the picks?

Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Store them in a dry place. Avoid harsh solvents. Applying a light machine oil can help prevent rust if the finish is compromised.

What is the weight of the entire set?

The entire set weighs approximately 0.18kg (0.4 lbs).

Can I use these picks with electronic components?

Yes, they can be used carefully around electronic components for tasks like disconnecting wiring harnesses or manipulating small connectors, but always ensure power is off and take precautions against static discharge.

Does the set come with a storage case?

A dedicated storage case is not mentioned as being included with this set. It is recommended to store them in a tool roll or organized toolbox.

Troubleshooting

Pick tip is bent or damaged

Do not attempt to straighten bent tips, as this can weaken the metal. Select a different pick from the set for the task. If damage is severe, consider replacing the individual pick if possible, or the entire set if the damage compromises its usability.

Difficulty gripping small items

Ensure you are using the correct pick shape for the item. For smoother surfaces, a pick with a sharper or more defined angle might offer better purchase. Clean the pick tip if it is covered in grease or debris.

Black finish is chipping

Minor chipping may occur with heavy use. Clean the affected area and apply a thin coat of light machine oil to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The tools are designed for manual use and are compatible with most common mechanical, automotive, and plumbing tasks involving small parts, seals, and clips. They are not powered tools and do not require electronic compatibility.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the picks clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the black finish.
