Vacuum Sucking Pen - Esste Easy Pick Picker Up Tool with 6 Suckers and 2 Needles Extraction Tools for IC SMD SMT Chip mobile phone screen

I have bought 3 of these. Two this week, and the first one a few months ago. In that time, the label changed from Lodestar to Esste. The first one labeled Lodestar works great. The next 2 labeled Esste, one of them broke within 1 day.The bladder/balloon is stuck and will not create a vaccuum anymore. This can be manually repaired with a little effort. The push button comes apart and the front tip can be pulled off with pillars. The balloon is attached to the front tip. In my case, it was twisted up so the push button would be stuck. Be careful removing the tip to not crush the end.When it works: Very nice suction quality.

This picker sort of works with the two largest suction headers. The smaller headers on the other hand are mostly useless. In my experiments they would hold on to things just for a few seconds at most, e.g. pick a really small IC and it falls off pretty fast.Other notes - don't twist the tip of the picker - it makes the whole thing stop working until you twist it back (happens when you try to put on the needles).And finally, this is way overpriced considering how poorly it works overall

This doesn't work at all......a complete waste of money!

Product works as expected and tips are nicely organized on the separate tray. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the button to press to begin the suction is a bit loose fitting and I'm concerned that it might fall out eventually, but only time will tell.

Rubber is made irregular. Just some low quality sucking rubber.

Tehran pen would not pick up any object no matter what size it was.

The item arrived quickly and works great

This did not work at all. Will not even pick up small gems for my projects.
