Pole pickup tool VALLEJO T12005, black handle and shaft, 1 piece

VALLEJO T12005 is a single-piece pole pickup tool with a black handle and shaft, designed for precise handling of small parts and models. The tool features tacky silicone tips on each end that provide secure, gentle contact for lifting and positioning delicate components. Its lightweight construction and extended reach offer improved access in tight spaces common in modelling, crafts, and small-assembly work.

Advantages

The double-ended design gives two usable tips without changing tools, while impregnated silicone surfaces deliver a balance of tack and release for controlled pick-and-place operations. The black handle and shaft provide a uniform, low-glare finish that helps reduce visual distraction when working under strong light. Compact and lightweight, the tool minimizes hand fatigue during repetitive tasks and allows fine manual control for delicate components such as photo-etch parts, plastic and resin pieces, and decals.

Suitable for

• Positioning and placing photo-etched parts
• Handling small plastic and resin model components
• Applying and adjusting decals and stickers
• Delicate assembly and repair in hobby and workshop environments

Key specifications

• Single-piece pole design with integrated handle and shaft
• Double-ended with tacky silicone tips for repeatable pick-and-place
• Lightweight construction for reduced hand fatigue
• Black finish on handle and shaft to minimize glare
• Compact size suitable for work in confined spaces

How to use

Hold the VALLEJO T12005 by the black shaft near the handle to achieve stable control. Gently touch a silicone tip to the small part you wish to move; the tacky surface will adhere briefly, allowing you to lift and position the component. Release the part by applying a slight lateral motion or pressing the opposite tip against the work surface as needed. Use slow, controlled movements when working with very thin or fragile parts to avoid bending or distortion.

Usage recommendations

Store the tool with tips protected from dust and solvents to maintain tackiness. Avoid contact between the silicone tips and solvents or strong adhesives that can degrade the surface. If tip performance decreases, clean gently with a mild, lint-free cloth and allow to air dry before reuse.
