Use this professional pick for removing O-rings from industrial pumps, compressors, and pneumatic systems without damaging precision-machined grooves.
Industrial facilities face constant pressure to minimize equipment downtime while maintaining seal integrity across pumps, compressors, and pneumatic systems. Production managers know that one damaged O-ring groove during maintenance can turn a simple seal replacement into an expensive machining repair or component replacement. Workers often resort to screwdrivers, pocket knives, or wire hooks to extract stubborn seals, inadvertently scoring the precision surfaces that ensure leak-free operation.
This professional Indigo™ O-ring and gasket removal dental pick features dual-tip geometry specifically designed for industrial seal extraction. The curved tip accesses O-rings in pump housings, valve bodies, and cylinder glands, while the angled tip reaches seals in recessed grooves common in pneumatic actuators and compressor systems. Manufactured from 410-grade stainless steel, the tool provides the strength necessary to remove hardened seals compressed by years of service while reducing the risk of surface damage compared to improvised tools.
The textured grip handle maintains secure control even when working with lubricants and cleaning solvents present during equipment servicing. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction withstands exposure to hydraulic fluids, pneumatic oils, and industrial cleaning agents used in maintenance operations.
Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.
Need an ultrafine tool to clear clogged nozzles or microfilters? Insect pins may be a practical alternative. Our unique 100 pin sampler package has 10 pins in 10 thicknesses, all made with grade 316 stainless steel.

Kelli Cote Great quality products at a very reasonable price! Purchased some dental picks for my daughter's University paleontology club to help with their fossil preparation lab.
Sandra Mead I bought several stainless steel picks...strong,sharp and hold their shape; not like the ones you get on Amazon or at home depot...a good product at a good price...Thanks Indigo
Yes. The dual-tip design accommodates O-rings regardless of sizing standards. The curved and angled tips provide access to both small and large industrial seals commonly found in pumps, compressors, and pneumatic systems.
The 410-grade stainless steel resists corrosion from most industrial fluids, hydraulic oils, and cleaning solvents. However, O-rings exposed to aggressive chemicals often become brittle or swollen, requiring extra care during removal. The tool's strength handles these compromised seals effectively.
Yes. The autoclavable stainless steel construction can be sterilized for use in clean rooms or food-grade processing facilities. The non-shedding metal construction won't introduce particulate contamination.
The angled tip is designed for this exact scenario. Insert it at a shallow angle between the O-ring and groove wall, then rotate your wrist to lift the seal. The textured grip provides control even when reaching into deep cylinder assemblies.
Absolutely. Industrial equipment uses various seal materials, nitrile rubber, polyurethane, Viton, and others. The tool's dual-tip design works effectively across all common seal materials and hardness levels.
