Little tool for pulling out speaker domes

image.jpeg hi,

I am in the dental industry and have a neat tool that works for picking up and holding small parts. I am also a model builder and the really small parts are a bear to get hold of.

These Micro Stix have an adhesive on the tip that comes in two strengths. I tried them on the tweeters and mids on my DQM 9's. Worked really well. May not be strong enough for hard cones.

This good info, thanks for posting Perry.

I'll bet these would work great for those metal domed JBL's.
 
Thanks for the information they look like they could be used for a lot of jobs. Very handy.
:beerchug:
 
This has got to be better than the vacuum cleaner method for pulling domes and dust caps.
I've never had the nerve to use the vacuum:no:
 
Also, (and my hands are probably not steady enough but...) I wonder how these would be on removing that futz stuff on cantilevers that drives some people crazy?
I think these are very interesting tools and probably gonna need a pack just because:naughty:
 
Thanks for the responses. You can get them, I believe, at Hobby Lobby. You may be able to request samples directly from Microbrush co. I would try the smart hold ones first. They stick very aggresively, and to remove them, I twisted as I pulled them off. It seemed to work best by putting them on the center of the cone. That way it pulled it all out. After they get some dust on them, they are not as aggressive. I use them to hold photo etch pieces on 1/43 scale models. The company I work for also carries them. Dental Health Products, Inc., www.dhpionline.com. Part no. Is 230-stix64B that is a pack of 64.

Sorry, didn't mean to 'advertise'. Actually, I think Hobby Lobby is the best place, or contact the company for samples.
