The Beadsmith PICK IT UP, is a fantastic tool, used for picking up tiny flat back stones, Rhinestones, pointed back Chatons, Beads and other general craft items which are too small to lift and place with your fingers. Here’s how it works… Plug the “Pick it up” in and turn on the Power switch. Once the unit is running rotate the Power Control wheel and adjust the suction power to the desired level. After determining how much power you need, place the tip of the angled pen against the tiny component and cover the release hole with your index finger. This will complete the seal and enable you to lift the item. Place the component in the desired position and then release it by lifting your index finger off the release hole. If you find that the component is not releasing when you lift your finger, you probably have the suction level too high. This can easily be corrected by rotating the power wheel. You will probably need a little trial and error to find the right setting for your project. For larger stones, we also include an attachable rubber tip. This will create a greater surface area for the vacuum to work against and allow you to easily lift bigger pieces.The Beadsmith Pick It UP: Vacuum tool is unique in that it reduces hand strain and all but eliminates the need for tweezers. It will not leave a sticky residue on components like other products that use wax tips. It features a Non skid base and measures 5 ½” x 3 ¾” x 3 ¾”.
