Thanks for this. I just purchased and opened mine and didn't have a clue how to use it. Very helpful tutorial with good tips.

Thank you so much. Silhouette should hire you! can't tell you how long I have been looking for your tutorial. They defiantly need to explain this and they do not! You also showed how hard that stick is to get out. i thought it was me. I was ready to pitch it when I found you !

That pen is fantastic. I found out after using the pen for some time, that pen is designed for scrap booking and that kind of craft. That slot is for curling paper or ribbons. With a couple of adaptions it is perfect for diamond painting. It works great as it is for rounds. But, I had trouble with squares until I painstakingly pushed a pink pen's tip into the tip of the pick-me-up, I secured it with a drop of super glue, I had to use pliers. I also used pliers to pull the stopper out, the putty is easily removable. You can add more tack if that's what you want. I removed all of the putty with a toothpick and replaced it with pink wax. Warning... It doesn't need much. If you add too much you won't be able to replace the plunger.

Thank u so much, even though I can't even get the top off😊 still trying lol!

Thank you for this video, I have seen so many other videos where they struggle and I thought oh no way am I going there, but now I have this tool in my amazon cart and I will purchase on my payday. Thank you. I hate having to refill my pink pen all the time, I don't get a lot of use between wax fill-ups lol.

Thank you so much for doing this tutorial!!! I was very unsure about trying this but you have helped me decide to go for it! I love all your vids!

Thank you! I didn’t know how to use.

OMG... Thank you!! You just made my day. I had to use my magnifiers to read the three lines of instructions on the stick but nothing worked. I had no idea the back of it came out until I saw your video. I had to get a piece of rubber mat that I use for jars that are hard to open to get the chiseled end out of this thing. Then I thought about using pliers to get the cap off because it just wouldn't budge. Twisting the top to get the putty out (or not) is weird in the way the top is either totally loose or not twisting at all. Well, the sticky part does it's job, so that's a plus. Thank you for your video. It saved me from bringing this back to the store thinking it was defective... lol.

The first time you try to remove the plunger is VERY hard. I wrapped a small piece of cloth around the plunger and used a pair of pliers, grabbed very firmly and tried twisting back and forth and pulling it out. After the first time it gets easier. I do have to say if you decide to use the putty that comes with the pen it goes a loooooooooong way. PS the reason you may want from time to time to extend the putty is to clean the end from the dust that comes from the drills. That is not wasting any putty.

on amazon they now have video showing how to use the other two ends.

Thanks for the help with this pen not easy to figure out

Thanks for this video! Mine is soooo tight I can’t move it counter clockwise so it’s a constant flow out. I capped it and will wait for my husband because I think he has a tool that will help in gripping it to loosen and stop the flow. From what little I got to use before it had too much tack sticking out, it seems super easy to use and nice.

Love it!.. including the Murphy law ..😄. I got mine and I look it like it came from Saturn 😆

I'm so glad I found your video! I literally got home an hour ago with my new pick me up tool, and I'll be using it for rhinestones Etc for paper crafting. But I was clueless, I discovered the pointy end pulling out, but beyond that I couldn't figure anything out! So thanks so much for clarifying

I got one of these quite awhile ago and liked it for the round drills. But I no longer do round drill pictures so I don’t use mine anymore. Btw - did you know you can buy a pack of stick putty to refill these? I used the Loctite brand (it’s blue) and works really well in this pen. There’s a video on KZfaq on how to refill it with the putty.

I absolutely love this pen for my DP's. I refill it with white/blue sticky tack. Also Refill it with the pink wax. Hey!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this. I just ordered one!

They are in the scrapbook area in Micheals. Plus you can look on their website to see if your local store has them.

to help cushion the spot where you put your fingers for grip, just use some vet wrap. Super cheap at any farm supply store, gives some nice cushion but peels off for replacement easy also.

Doni, I think that slot you showed us is for inserting something so you have leverage to open the pen.( It will look like a cross when you put a flat edge in the slot).

Thank you so much for doing this video! I've been thinking about getting one of these, now I think i definitely will.

It’s a plunger. You pull it out. It is hard but it can be pulled out. I just refilled mine yesterday. It was hard to pull out the plunger and then clean out the remaining tacky stuff but I did it.

I cant get mine to twist

I saw another pen called quick stick and it is built much like this and found out the slots are for paper curling for people who do paper craft I was wondering if both tool are good for diamond painting guess I’ll have to check it out new to diamond painting

I got both of mine at Michaels. They are in the Scrapbooking section where the Cricut accessories are located. Both times I paid $6.99. I have 2 because I like it so well that if I broke my current one refilling it I would have another.

It wants to play games with you now lol

I have this tool and like to work with round drills. But i can't turn the tip of it at all. i'm afraid to brake. Is it turning as every pen? Thank you

A rubber glove can help pull and or twist things off. Nice tips on how to use this tool . I was wondering about how to use certain parts of the pick me up. Are you supposed to load the tack and how?

hi i have just bought one of these the lid is very lose and when i turn it for the tac feels like the whole pen nib is going to come out

I just got this today and your video helps a lot! It does take some getting used to. By the way, I wish I’d gotten it from Amazon instead of Michaels since I couldn’t use a coupon for it (something about the Silhouette company not accepting coupons). Maybe it’s just my Michaels :/ I think it’s also available at JoAnns.

Do you have trouble twisting to expose tack? Mine will not twist even with pliers! What am I doing wrong?

I refilled my pen with lock tite, I like it much better, less stringy

Can you explain my question a bit better as the last bit i don't understand

how cheap one can be to save a little end of sticky gum..lol

Pick me up tool

use a rubber glove it will be easier.😀

I'm lost

First! lol
