Locator Original Genuine Core Tool for Insertion and Removal of Locator Male Caps

I have been changing out my own locator inserts for 2 years, and have always struggled with getting them out. Putting them in was not much of an ordeal, but using a dental pick to get them out was tiresome. I finally decided to splurge and get the *removal/insertion tool. I just put in a new set of 5# locators and it took all of 30 seconds, maybe a whole minute. The video on this listing was helpful as well. Although I know the process of taking out/putting in, this tool was a dream to use. so smooth and easy. And it came quickly, some of the other sellers might be cheaper, but the wait time on shipping was much longer. Thanks again for a great tool and video presentation!!

If you have snap in dentures, part of your maintenance responsibility is to get the nylon/plastic retention caps replaced every 6 to 9 months. My dental practice charges $140 for this. This tool is a bit expensive but well worth it in the long run as you can use this tool to easily replace the caps yourself for just the cost of the caps. A set of my style of caps runs me $45 and saves me over an hour of driving to-from my dentist (plus wait time in the office). Plenty of How To videos on the "Y" channel. There are universal caps but some abutments require a brand specific style of cap so check with your dental office.

Works well, looks like it made good. There are videos on the internet that show how to use it.

All my dental records were lost when my dentist went out of business during the pandemic so I had no idea what brand my denture implants were. The retainers had long ceased to 'retain' anything and I was using dabs of denture adhesive to get by. I was getting quotes from $700 to $900 to send them to 'the lab' for a week to have them 'repaired'. This seemed way out of line to me so I did my research and found mine to be the legacy Zest Locator system with black inserts. I ordered the Zest legacy tool for $94 and the Amazon clear locator set (5 lb) for $30. I watched the product tutorial video for this tool and was able to perform the replacement of 4 inserts in about 3 minutes. Total cost $124 and about 10 minutes total including learning how to use the tool. I dinged it a couple stars on the 'Value' scale. I own professional tools and expect to pay much more for the quality, however, this is about 40% higher than it needs to be. Now if I can just learn how to fill cavities...

Expensive, made for a dental office not the home amateur. My dentist charges 100.00 to change 2 locators so it will easily pay for itself. Works great. A couple tips … watch the video…like the video hold denture in your hand, it’s much much easier than sitting the denture on a table or hard surface. And for removing old locator unscrew tip more than you think. Practice a few times with the old locator. It’s very simple once you get the hang of it.

Google locator tool that you have for the implants that you have. You can find videos on how to remove and insert. After watching a couple of times it was really easy to do.

First off I am not a dentist. With that being said I want to give my review. I have a 4 post denture, I go in about twice a year to have my male inserts replaced and even with insurance it cost me $150 out of pocket. I researched and found the locator tool and male inserts. I bought and watched the video and did what he did. Guess what. . . It work perfectly. So now in the future this will cost me $30.for the inserts. Oh and through the search I found that there a Was different strengths available. I went with the purple or 8 lbs male insert, I can notice a big difference right of the bat. So again I will say that I am not a dentist. Learning a new skill was Exciting.

The Locator Core Tool is vert well made. I had ordered the Locator Core Tool, and the Locator Male Replacement Caps that I needed from Amazon. I have four post on top and four on the bottom. I watched the video because this is the first time that the nylon caps have been replaced so I had not seen my dentist do it. I changed all 8 caps in less than 10 minutes, and it was so easy. I saved myself not only money, but my time as well. I can replace the caps when ever I need to without the hassle of having to schedule an appointment and go into the office. I love the independence of being able to do it my self.

High quality, original tool from Zest. Easy to use, follow the video. Very nice saves me lots of money doing it myself.

Easy to change Zest male cup locator.

It does not pull the old nylon inserts. Watch video 3 times and follow. Still did not pull old nylon insert. I don't mind the price if working. In the video it looks like there is a suction if you unscrew the tip before pulling. The one that I received does not do that and no suction at all unless its missing a part inside the tip.
