Surprisingly useful – within limits
As a general tool these picks lose one star because they have limited function compared to the conventional steel picks they imitate, however they're still a great piece of kit (especially for the price). Because they're polymer, they can't always dislodge very hard deposits, and will deform if pressed beyond their capability. For stubborn carbon or rust, a brass or steel tool may be needed. HOWEVER...the weakness of these picks is also their saving grace, because the polymer material isn't as likely to scratch metal surfaces. That a huge advantage when you're trying to clean something valuable and don't want to scar it up. For me, that means these picks are the first go-to for the vast majority of picking tasks. So, yeah, good to have. Tip: you can resharpen or re-contour the tips of these picks with sandpaper. Oh, and the included brush is a classic, useful one.
Pros:
- handles most picking tasks
- less likely to cause damage
Cons:
- can't handle all picking tasks
Best Used for:
- nooks and crannies
Would recommend: Yes
