I am a pretty inexperienced yoyo player and only started playing again a few weeks ago after a long break… So I had no idea what to do with this thing. I ordered a used OD Cascade on the internet and this thing was just included in the package when it arrived here. To be honest, I’m not sure I understand the purpose, but I started using it daily to untangle the string when it got tangled in the yoyo. I’m very glad that I have it and will NEVER give it away… haha Do you know something like this? Is that the purpose? ![IMG_9428](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/2/4/3248daf2b8e6c54d64fd1aed81d39196a2a3099b.jpeg) ![IMG_9429](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/c/b/0cb8a4bf7006dee976cb8aa52387cb456c64b0f1.jpeg) ---

Yeah it’s a string pick. You are using it for its exact intended purpose. ---

Looks like a knockoff of the string pick @Kray designed. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/5/d/d5dfa67e273907cecdc26cff82b05a2544c8b3b0.jpeg) ---

I have one of those and I use it every time the rope tangles. Thanks @Kray 👌 ![20231106_182849](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/1/3/e137afe9bb542964b7b43201d507a837c73816ce.jpeg) ---

Hi Kray, the tool does not work anymore. (Die Spitze ist abgebrochen leider.) Could you tell me how to get a new one? (Ich würde auch gleich mehrere kaufen am besten:)) Cheers Amon ---

My pick is just another knock off of Krays design too it seems. Honestly not allot of ways to make a pick on a 3d printer that’s durable. Something sharp with a slight bend and a handle to maneuver it.
