Uchida of America 91GR Double Ended Jewel Picker

Works well, good quality and matches value. EASY TO USE IN YOUR HANDS AND WORKS WELL

This device worked really well in picking up tiny crystals. However, I recommend buying 2 if you don't have a steady hand or just in case you have a problem with your glue. Unfortunately, the glue nozzle got plugged after several rounds and I ended up getting glue on the tips of the picker. It didn't rinse off easily and eventually the picker tips began to dissolve and fall off. Although the remaining tips still worked, I wished I had a fresh device to use.

Love the double ended tip. Not only is this great for picking up jewels, sequins, small pieces, its also great for papercrafting. I also make cards and it's very useful to pick up small pieces of cardstock. I probably could find 100 more uses for this great tool!

This tool is excellent but beware. If you are using Sakura 3D lacquer as a glue to glue flat back crystals, which is what I used, the Sakura started melting the ie dissolving the picker tip. At first I noticed that the half pearls I was gluing got red spots on them. I wiped them off and was wondering where the red color came from since I was working on a handbag that had only pearls and crystals but I soon realized it was my most excellent picker that was getting melted. And there were no replacement tips I could buy. I am pretty sure that if I used different glue, I would not have had that problem. Unfortunately, I need to glue crystals or pearls or jewels that will not come off as the eggbag (handbag made out of a rhea eggshell) needs to have them permanently attached.

Bought a second one just so I can find it easily when I need it. Primarily use it for paper crafting such as picking up / placing gems and paper pieces. Handy little tool. My other one is over two years old and still works like new.

It worked for a little while picking up rhinestones then the tips lost their sticky/peeled off. Was nice for half my project.

I bought this for the small red ended tip. After applying 6 rhinestones the end of the metal poked through the red tip.It was easy to figure out how to use, the right amount of pressure to pick up and then the light pressure needed to apply the rhinestone.I use such small flat backed rhinestones that the green end is difficult to use, it is so big compared to what I'm trying to place that I can't see around it.Also, it lost its stickiness immediately, and NO it doesn't come back if you wash it under waterOh well, I'll go back to struggling with tweezers.EDIT - this was the second time I didn't read product reviews before buying, I really should have, a lot of people had the same problem

Love this tool for assisting me while making greeting cards. Some items are just too small to hold with my hand, glue and place on card. This tool allows me to pick up and place small items and embellishments easily and accurately onto my cards. There is a small end and a larger end, so you have 2 choices depending on your project needs. Both ends have adequate sticky and continue to remain sticky for a long time. I am quite pleased and recommend this item. This is the second time I've purchased this tool.
