🤿 Diveavenue expert opinion on the Picking Tool

This is the tool I lend out most often on the boat. Far too many divers still use the tip of a knife to remove a seal, at the risk of ruining a rebreather head worth several thousand pounds. This Divesoft tool is simple, effective and its tip is just fine enough to slip under the tightest seals without ever damaging the metal. An absolute must-have.

❓ Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is there a risk of the tool breaking if the seal is stuck ? It is designed to be rigid, but the plastic offers slight flexibility to prevent breakage. If a seal is really stuck, we recommend using a little lubricant or warm water to soften it before removal.

Can I use it to install new seals ? Although it is mainly used for removal, the flat side can help to gently position a new seal in its housing without using your fingernails, which is very handy for small diameter seals.

Is the tool resistant to solvents or greases ? Yes, it is made of a polymer that is resistant to lubricants commonly used in diving (silicone grease, Krytox, Christo-Lube).
