HOW TO USE:

1. Assess the Task: Identify the specific component or area you need to reach. Determine if a 90-degree bend is suitable for navigating obstacles or for the desired manipulation (e.g., pulling, pushing, scraping).
2. Position the Tool: Grip the ProGrip handle firmly. Carefully insert the bent tip of the pick into the desired location, maneuvering around any obstructions.
3. Perform the Action:
   • Retrieving: Hook the tip around small objects like O-rings, cotter pins, or washers and gently pull them free.
   • Positioning: Use the tip to nudge, align, or separate components in tight assemblies.
   • Scraping: For gasket removal or surface cleaning, apply light pressure with the tip and scrape away material.
   • Prying/Separating: For tasks like breaking radiator lines or separating hoses, use the strength of the steel to apply gentle leverage.
4. Remove the Tool: Once the task is complete, carefully withdraw the pick from the workspace.
