Guide Review - Review of Dental Picks

The four-piece dental pick pack is just what it claims - four steel dental picks that look like they could be used by a dentist to play around in your mouth. They are lightweight but very sturdy and have a phenomenally sharp end.

You may wonder what a paintballer would need a dental pick for. The short answer is that they are not necessary - almost everything they do can be done with other, more common, tools. Their advantage, though, is that they make many jobs much easier. They are hands down the best tool I have found for removing o-rings and are also excellent for pulling out stuck parts, adjusting snap-rings, pushing trigger pins and even cleaning paint from between the parts of a gun.

In short, a dental pick is a very useful little tool to have around.
