I've been using it now for a couple of weeks and I have to say I'm super impressed. They beat the vinyl off every other vinyl weeding tool I've used, that's for sure!
First of all - the Weed N Pick tools from Glitter Eye Candy are super sharp. The shape of the hook on the vinyl weeding tool is at the ideal angle which means it takes minimal effort to hook the vinyl and weed it away.
Lots of Silhouette crafters swear by dental picks as the best weeding tool for vinyl, but the problem is the stainless steel tools are not very comfortable in your hand. The Weed n Pick hook has a rubber coated grip handle so it doesn't slip and is comfortable to hold even when weeding large and intricate pieces. But the tip is sharp and fine enough to also pick up the tiniest of vinyl pieces.
Along with the hook, the needle point Weed n Pick tweezers are the sharpest I've ever seen.
They have a point that's so fine I was even able to pick up the smallest pieces of vinyl in the tightest of quarters.

Thank you Melissa for the tool suggestions. I only use my very sharp pointed tweezers for my weeding jobs, but I think I will try the hook tool. So while I was ordering from the link you posted, I decided to buy the tweezers as well.
ReplyDeleteSiser makes a weeding tool that I have been using for about 8 years and I love it. It has a comfort handle and is soft and precise.
ReplyDeleteJust an fyi....when I try to go to The link for Glitter eye candy, my virus software warns me not to go there, that it is a potentially dangerous site. Not sure if there is something they can do to change that but I would think it will make them lose business if other people are getting that message too!
ReplyDeleteI found some wonderful weeding tools at Harber Freight (of course they weren't labeled as weeding picks) my very favorite is a pair of craft tweezers my son bought me for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI use a metal dental pick, and it works great. It looks very similar to your black handled ones above, but the hook is much thinner gauge.
ReplyDeleteHey Melissa...when I follow your link for this I get a WHOA warning from my McAfee against going to this site. I checked and it medium risk and I just won't go there. Is there anywhere else I can purchase these tools?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Mary
The Siser weeding tool from expressionsvinyl.com is the best!
