Adjust trimmer potentiometers with the Indigo™ 22574 stainless steel precision pick. Fine-tune circuit parameters without slipping or damaging delicate adjustment screws on PCBs.

Trimmer potentiometers allow fine-tuning of circuit parameters, but their small adjustment screws present challenges. Standard screwdrivers often slip, potentially causing circuit damage or destroying the trimmer itself. Some trimmers have slots too small or shallow for conventional tools. The Indigo™ 22574 precision pick addresses these issues with its straight pointed tip that engages small adjustment slots securely and its right-angle tip that accesses trimmers mounted at awkward angles on populated circuit boards. Electronics technicians performing calibration, repair, or prototype development work appreciate the tool's positive engagement and the tactile feedback that allows incremental adjustments. The non-magnetic stainless steel won't affect nearby magnetic components or interfere with sensitive measurements during adjustment.

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.

How to Use

Before adjustment, document current trimmer positions with photographs or marks. Identify the trimmer type and adjustment range from circuit documentation. Use the straight tip for conventional slot-head trimmers, engaging the slot fully before applying rotational force. For recessed trimmers, use the right-angle tip to reach into tight spaces. Make small incremental adjustments, typically 1/8 turn at a time, checking circuit performance after each change. If resistance increases suddenly, you may have reached the end of travel, forcing further will damage the trimmer. Mark final positions for future reference.
