Jiayouy 2-Piece Vacuum Sucking Pen IC SMD Pick Up Set for precision component placement with Interchangeable Tips and Cups

I use this item to put small, flat, plastic, parts into tight places. This item works simply and perfectly in my application.

This thing is hot garbage. I needed to pick up tiny plastic balls but not happening.First issue, the rubber tips are all wavy and not flat enough or cupped enough to make contact even on a perfectly flat surface.Next issue, when I could get something picked up (flat items with smooth surface that only weight a few grams) they would fall off in about 2 seconds (so it's not keeping suction.

I got several of these vacuum pens to test out, at least one of which was 2-3x the price of this. This is the only one I enjoyed using. The button position is convenient, and it holds quite well

Needed this in a pinch and ordered overnight delivery. This got decent reviews as far as stars, so I thought it would be ok.Turns out the pen like tool falls apart if you look at it. The smaller tool with the rubber bubble on the end works fine which is why I gave this a 3 in stead of a 0.

Has virtually no suction, and can't even pick up a standard atmega chip.

Not as much suction as they indicate. It doesn’t even pic up a piece with f paper

I use this while playing board games that have small pieces to move

The suction is ok - if this product had a stronger suction - could really go places !
