First of all, these are strictly NOT for dental use, or any kind of medical use. It says so right on the package. Only the tips are stainless steel, the handles are cheaply plated and mine are chipping all over already even though I just opened the package. I'll probably throw them away in case they have lead in the silver paint/plating, because it is getting everywhere. They were cheap, so my expectations were low, but if I saw these beforehand I would not have ordered, and return shipping would be more than I paid.

The technical detail states these are stainless steel picks that can be autoclaved and used by technicians. It also says well made and long lasting. This set is not stainless steel, only the tips are. They cannot and should not be autoclaved because it would ruin the cheap chrome plated handles, not stated. Technicians should not use these, as the package says "not for medical use". This is not what I ordered. The stainless steel dental mirror I ordered, however, was as stated and is from the same vendor.

I've owned several dental picks in the past and have found them useful for many tasks. The good ones I use until I lose them, and the bad ones break first. These will surely be lost first, as they are very sturdy. Indeed the handles are thicker and heavier than I've encountered before. The hooks are strong and tough but not brittle. All and all a very nice set at a very affordable price. I appreciated the free shipping - or rather than the shipping was included in the price.

This is a very poor quality product. The plating came off after first use. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after use.

They are called dental picks here, but they are no different from hook and pick sets: the tips all come to sharp needle points with different bent shapes. Dental pick sets have different sculptured points. This set is supposed to have stainless steel tips and chrome handles. But both arrived with random spots of corrosion (brown stains). In addition, the package had flakes of chrome throughout. Whatever chrome was used appears to be painted on. Under hook and pick sets you can find similar tools of better quality than these, and not much more expensive

Worth the $3.30 times 2. I have to laugh about the reviewer who said "not for surgery" Not even a quack vet. would consider these surgical instruments, I sure hope he or she was just kidding. Avg quality, Pakistan I think. Good enough to do all the jobs it list as being able to do.

I ordered this item for a young dental student who was looking for some tools to practice with. I ordered one day and it arrived within 3 days. The tools are sturdy and easy to handle. So not only is the product excellent, so is their service.

These are nice for crafts and projects where you need something small like this to get into tight spaces...like trying to fill in a fine crack. I use some for that and the others for my own personal teeth/gum hygiene. Good for the price.

SE 5 Pc Probe Set, Size 5 1/2"-6". I like the picks for fine work on my fly tying bench, picking little things out of crevices on fine work and just nice to have something to grab when you need to pick at something.

Was mislead into thinking they are for dental use, they are not. I had a plastic dentek set until someone broke it. Very cruel. These are no where near professional dental quality. You need a dental scaler. It removes tartar. These do not. I now use them as darts for throwing practice. Getting good.
