O-Ring Pick for Pneumatic Nail Gun Repair
SKU: 22575
Remove O-rings from pneumatic nail guns, staplers, and air tools without damaging piston assemblies with the Indigo™ 22575 dental pick. Essential for Senco, DeWalt, Bostitch repair.
Professional contractors and tool repair technicians know that pneumatic nail guns and staplers depend on intact O-rings for proper operation. These air tools fire thousands of fasteners daily on job sites, and the O-rings sealing piston assemblies, exhaust ports, and trigger valves gradually wear from friction, air pressure cycling, and tool oil breakdown. When O-rings fail, air leaks reduce driving power, cause misfires, and waste compressor energy, but replacing seals requires careful removal to avoid damaging aluminum cylinders, plastic housings, or precision-machined piston grooves. Improvised tools like dental picks or paper clips often scratch cylinder walls or break off inside valve assemblies, turning simple maintenance into expensive repairs.
This specialized O-ring removal pick features dual-tip geometry designed for pneumatic tool service. The curved tip hooks under O-rings in piston head assemblies, bumper seals, and exhaust port rings, while the angled tip accesses seals deep inside trigger valves, firing chambers, and recessed cylinder grooves. Made from 410-grade stainless steel, the tool offers the rigidity needed to extract compressed O-rings hardened by thousands of firing cycles while reducing the risk of scoring aluminum cylinders or cracking plastic trigger housings common in modern nail guns.
The textured grip provides secure control when working with pneumatic tool oil and compressor lubricant contamination, and the corrosion-resistant construction withstands exposure to air tool oils, cleaning solvents, and outdoor storage conditions. For contractors maintaining personal tools or service centers rebuilding customer equipment, this tool simplifies O-ring replacement and protects expensive nailer components.

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.
