The pick tool is a "soldering helper". It can be used for various things, like helping pry off capacitors (what I used it for) while de-soldering. It can be used for other things too though.

I haven't had any issues with the scraper. I use it after I have put the cleaner on to remove any "baked on" particles. I think the key may be to not use it on a DRY surface. The scraper is a razor blade so I would use it with a light hand and caution. If you can remove the "baked on" particles with the scrubbing pad, there isn't a reason to use the scraper.

I use the tiny brush from the Munchkin Deluxe Bottle Brush cleaning system. It's small enough to get in there & clean it!

I am not sure. I would guess you should use a pry bar or scraper. Amount of care depends on if you want to re-use the device.

The brush is way more effective. No need for the scraper if you have the brush.

I agree with previous answer soften with hot water then use gritty substance and plastic spatula to scrape Good luck!

I clean the tip of the handheld unit using a very small cleaning brush that came with a hair trimming kit. It's perfect... and I use it to clean the tip after each use. Otherwise, I can see the tip getting really dirty and clogged with the dead skin that's been suctioned off. If you don't have such a cleaning brush, perhaps you can use some sort of small cosmetic-type brush with slightly firm bristles. In addition, I also use a cottom pad with alcohol to disinfect the tip of the handheld piece, every other time I use my machine. I hope this response helps.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

Works well. Increase dwell time from lacquer. Couple coats before scraping off. No water until end. Scraper, steel wool, then hot water and nylon brush, then pressure washer, then soap and water, then pressure washer. Faster the better when scrubbing off stripper. Commit to it otherwise you'll just have to do it twice. Oxalic acid if you get black spots.

I really think that most of the benefit from this products comes from just licking the scraper / brush thing. You could probably put anything you want on the brush to get them to lick it and still see some improvement. I haven't tested this, but think I will starting today.

I use a butter knife and push it out from the top so I never have to touch the end that bites. Sometimes a vacuum is created, then I just run hot water over it for a few seconds.

I use bar keepers friend. It is usually next to powdered Comet in the cleaning section. A little of it on a scrubby sponge and its good as new.

There is a removal part where the blade is located for cleaning. Very messy clean up

No there is no cleaning tool. For me i found that putting garlic into the press without taking off the outer skin works great, saves time too.Simply running it under water, or for stubborn pieces using a toothpick fixes all the issues. Running water clears the basket just fine for me.

I scrub the tip with a toothbrush & rinse with rubbing alcohol. Works great.

I just clean it with hot soapy water, and if need be, use a Brillo pad on it.

Easy. Take something that is soft and plastic and pry gently along the pieces that clasp to it. It won't make any marks if you do it right.
