Troubleshooting
Pick tip is bent or chipped
Cease using the damaged pick. Inspect the surrounding area for any remaining damage. Consider retiring the tool or seeking professional sharpening/repair if feasible, though replacement is often recommended for precision tools.
Difficulty removing a stubborn O-ring
Ensure you are using the correct pick profile for the job. Apply steady, gentle leverage. For very stubborn O-rings, consider a penetrating oil or slight warming of the surrounding area (if safe and compatible with materials) before attempting removal.
Tools feel loose in the storage wallet
Ensure the tools are inserted correctly into their designated slots. The wallet is designed for snug storage; if significantly loose, check for damage to the wallet slots or ensure no foreign objects are interfering.
