    The greatest tool deal I've ever made

    Since I'm going to replace my stuffing box packing this spring, I thought I'd try to find a pick set.

    Pick Set On Ebay $4.95 including shipping

    All I can say is WOW!

    Agreed

    An old guy suggested using a cork screw to get them out or an olive fork, he must have drank a lot on his boat. I can assure you the corksrew works better than an olive fork.

        They're called an explorer in the dental world.

          My dentist kindly gave me three of his used-but-sterilized explorers several years ago, too dull for his purposes but plenty pointy for mine.

          They're also good as heatsinks for soldering small components, and for applying tiny dabs of adhesives including epoxy and superglue.
