2.0 out of 5 stars The ends of these bend!, May 30, 2008

By	Alesia - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

Yeah, these are not exactly top-notch. They work for a few minutes before bending (although, I guess it's good that they bend back, too).

I purchased these to pick old paint out of tiny areas not reachable by Xacto blade (yes, I am a home-restoration kook). The curved picks, in particular, are soft and bend easily, even when used gently. The straight narrow sharp tools also bend a bit. The spear-shaped implements--well, I haven't found a use for them yet (the sides aren't sharp and the tip isn't particularly sharp, either). Skip 'em.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for cleaning weapons, November 17, 2007

By	M. Thai - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I learned about using dental tools for cleaning weapons while I was downrange. When I got back home, I ordered this set and it's been an effort to keep my tools together cause the other Soldiers in my unit will borrow them and "forget" to give them back. Sounds crazy using plaque scraping gadgets to get carbon off a weapon but it works.
