Whats your favorite weeding tool?

[kheebl]

I Have tried a few different weeding tools and by far my favorite is this cheapo one. I always have a few around. Just wanted to see what everyone else likes to use.

 

[SignosaurusRex]

X-acto knife with #11 blade, Why complicate things with multiple tools? K.I.S.S.!

 

[Signmaker1234]

I use one of these!

I think it's just whatever you get used to using. Myself, I prefer tweezers. I've tried what you show and I've tried an Xacto and I'm not as fast or confident with either.

What style of tweezers do you use Fred?

 

[decalman]

X- Acto knife. Can't fathom anything else.
I use tweezers for splinter removal.

After having tried a lot of tools (Xacto knife, tweezers...) I weed everything except flex/flock with the 3M Air Release tool but it is so expensive (and hard to find at supplier here in Europe)!

For flex/flock I use this kind:

 

[Billct2]

Xacto.

 

[thewvsignguy]

#11 with a slightly dull blade tip.

I have two handles one with a new #11 and one that is slightly worn. Once the new blade gets to the point that it will not do a clean cut it's perfect for weeding.

 

[Pat Whatley]

X-acto with a #16 blade. You #11 blade people have no idea what you're doing.

 

[Gino]

Tweezers for me. Everyone else in the shop..... #11's.

 

[mark-s]

Prefer Tweezers

[Marlene]

X-acto with a #16 blade.

 

[TimToad]

Stainless steel dental picks. We usually have several laying around with either straight or slightly curved points.

 

[signcrafters london]

x-acto. I'm tempted to buy one with the light in the tip, but I can't seem to pull the trigger.

 

[mfatty500]

this for me

 

[rjssigns]

Tweezers.

 

[Tim Aucoin]

Tweezers (important to find the RIGHT tweezer that feels good and allows for FAST weeding!!).
Sometimes I use a dental pick. I buy them used quite cheap, and they are extremely sharp! The dental pick is great because it caters to left or right hand use!
