Review on 🎨 Discover the Magic of Silhouette Pick-Me-Up: Your Must-Have Crafting Tool by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS THING! Absolutely top notch and perfect for MANY different uses!

I LOVE this! I got this because I started doing 5D diamond paintings and the drill bit applicator pens that came with the kits were cheap and hard on me, also I hate using pink wax paste that comes in Ends had to be plugged in that didn't work. very good and had to be replaced at least once a day if not more often! But then I found this handy tool and it works better than anything else I've found! I don't have to load it with anything as it's already filled with tac, stays sticky and lasts drills 1000X longer than all those applicator tools that MUST be made specifically for diamond painting. ! I have it and I've been using it almost every day for several months and it's still almost full of tac because if you use it and the tac ends up either drying out or getting dirty and not sticking to the drill bit, and also or at all, then all you have to do is twist the top slightly so it pushes the tactician just a SLIGHTLY TENSE bit and then twist it back just enough to stop the pressure and then scrape a tiny bit of tac off the tip, and then back to diamond painting! And when I say you scrape a SMALL part, I really mean a SUPER SMALL part because all you have to remove is the tac that was at the very end and the rest is still in perfect condition and ready to go! I just have to do this to get to the new tac and literally MAYBE remove the old tac tip once a week at most unless I've been using it for more than a day and it doesn't lie in mine with all my tools Reservoir lasts longer and the tac on the tip that has been exposed to air dries out a little and is a little harder to stick to the drill bits EVERY time, so I scrape the stuff off the tip and I'm good to go again! I don't spend a lot of time loading other applicators with waxy sludge that doesn't work well and makes my hands look gross, and I have a layer of wax on my fingers that I don't want to just wash off because guess what. Yes, the wax is waterproof so don't just wash a thin layer of it off your fingers like you do with baby oil on your hands and then try to wash it off in the sink! That's more time to spend painting and less time doing something that just makes me want to do something else before I can even start! PLUS it has a very handy tool on the other end with 2 different ends. So you can just pull it out, flip it and swap the ends easily. I found it SUPER handy to line up my diamond bits and put some pressure on them to set them onto the adhesive on the canvas. I don't know what you would call this little tool, but it's a very hard plastic rod that extends beyond the tip on one end and is cut diagonally across the plastic rod on the other end, and the top is straight ( It's exactly the same as a cuticle remover that comes with all those manicure tool kits like nail clippers and nail file and sometimes they have a little wooden stick with a pointed end and a beveled flat end. It's almost the same thing!). I use this end the most because it's perfect for pushing the drill bits through the flat top if you stick it too far out of the way and then the diagonal cut part is perfect for pushing the drill bits in to get them into the to put glue. when you have it where you want it. I would highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone. If you are obsessed with 5D diamond painting, do arts and crafts with small beads or other small items, or make small beads/other small decorations, this is perfect for you, and I promise it will save you so much time, like this a lot of money spent on other tools like tweezers or trying to find other drill bit applicators that you like and most importantly it will save you a lot of frustration and feeling like you failed because you just quit the job in the middle of a project want because you are frustrated and annoyed by the hassle! This will seriously save you and your projects/art! Exchange for my rating! This is a 100% honest opinion from me as a repeat customer who got this product like everyone else by what felt like an eternity looking for what I wanted (while thinking more and more about what I meant, it probably doesn't even exist! ), finally finding this product after spending A LOT of time flipping through page after page, buying it for the same full price you would have paid, and actually using it and having really good experiences with the product. I rely VERY heavily on other customer reviews for all products I purchase and I am just a repeat shopper who wants to make sure others have an honest, genuine and unbiased review of others' experiences. Just as I wish the reviews I rely on were for other products! 100% VALUE FOR THIS PRODUCT!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
