I was skeptical about this tool when I first saw it used by an online crafter. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it does! I think it might be important to be sure the ends are tightly capped when not in use. From online searches, I see that it originally had only ONE sticky tip. This one has "sticky" on both ends--handy! There are instructions about what to do if it's too sticky or if it has lost some of its sticky. I also like that the tip covers have glitter embedded in the plastic. That makes it easier to find the covers that like to "hide" on your work surface. (Tip: that can be remedied by using a colored marker around the covers, or a bit of pretty washi tape.) Another handy deal is that the tip covers are grooved to improve your grip when removing them. Overall tool length is 6 1/4". Large tip is almost 3/4"; small tip 5/8". A lot of good thought went into this handy-dandy very affordable tool. My kudos to Marvy. Enjoy!Read full review

Every other time I try to use this picker the tip won't stick to the tiny bit of paper I'm trying to place. Literally, every other time. I have to keep "pinching" the tip in order to restore any stickiness to it. Don't waste your money.

This is a very handy little tool. I purchased this because I broke a porcelain figure and had to glue it back together. This tool worked great for picking up and placing the small shards of glass back into place, keep in mind it isn’t for heavy items. Small piece of glass, jewelry, beads. I have used for paper, best for sizes smaller than an inch square in my opinion. Is it necessary no, handy yes. It was worth the $6 to help me put back together my project. And I will use with my crafting. Think of it the size of standard #2 pencil , the largest end is aprox. Half the diameter of that pencil eraser... not big at all.

I am a hobby watchmaker and I find this tool invaluable for handling small items like screws and springs and all those little fly-away items when trying to pick them up with tweezers. I would recommend it to anyone who has to handle and position small items.
