Full details
This Ullman Pick and Hook Set is designed for mechanics, electricians, and DIY enthusiasts needing precision for intricate tasks. Its key benefit is the ability to easily access and manipulate small, hard-to-reach components.

What kind of maintenance do these tools require?

What are some common uses for this set?
Common uses include separating wires, removing 'O' rings, retrieving small fuses, and picking up small dropped parts that are too small to grasp with fingers.
Troubleshooting
Tool head feels loose in the handle
While designed to be permanently attached, if a tool head appears loose, discontinue use to avoid injury or further damage. Inspect for any cracks in the handle. Contact the retailer or manufacturer if within warranty.
Tips are not sharp or are bent
These tools are intended for delicate manipulation, not heavy-duty work. If tips become dull or bent from misuse, they may need to be replaced. Attempting to re-sharpen high-carbon steel without proper tools can be difficult and may damage the temper.
Rust appears on the steel tips
Wipe the tips thoroughly with a clean cloth. For minor rust, a very fine steel wool or a rust remover specifically designed for tools may be used carefully, followed by thorough cleaning and drying. Ensure proper storage in a dry environment to prevent future rust.
