Wait! What? There's a tool for that?!

ReplyDeleteHoly crap, I've been finding these in Lego sets for years and didn't even know what they were for until now!
ReplyDeleteTheImportTunerFreak Ha ha ha ha ha...you're welcome! :-D
ReplyDeleteWatch the video in my comment above.
Craig Froehle lol, I have a bunch of these sitting around.
ReplyDeletenever heard of them
ReplyDeleteOld style=my teeth or my nails
ReplyDeleteLynn H So uncouth! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am too old to know the old tool exists. D'oh.
ReplyDeleteThe new one works better but I still reserve the right to ruin my teeth on them.
ReplyDeleteNever had one of these, and my kids had a huge number of sets. I'm still not sure how this is better than just using your fingers. It's not like the blocks stick together especially tightly.
ReplyDeleteI Have both kinds and I gotta say the new style has more uses and is a better design in my opinion
ReplyDeleteJosh Robinson I dislike that the new ones can't be used as reverse pliers because of the axle poker. Plus, the old ones feel better in the hand. But, I do like the knife-edge handle on the newer ones.
ReplyDeletenew style is much easy to use the old one is good for mocs like a transforming platipus
ReplyDeleteI think we have only the new style ones. My 11 year old uses it. I don't recall ever seeing the green one.
ReplyDeleteI don't have to choose, I only have a thousand of the new style
ReplyDeleteWe bought 5 or 6 of the old ones when I saw them being sold at our local LEGO store several years ago. They soon switched to the new design and I was glad to have grabbed the old ones when I did. When I'm doing a lot of breaking down of old builds, these come in very handy.
ReplyDeleteoption c... both 😀
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle yeah I see what you mean. I hadn't thought about that. The knife edge is the tie breaker for me though because I screw up a lot with flat pieces lol
ReplyDeleteBoth neither.
ReplyDeleteThey make Lego brick separators? I always used my teeth.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the traditional method. The one where I bloody my hands when I rip off my fingernail trying to pull apart two Lego bricks. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe new ones are meant to built orange trees, like this one:

... Screwdriver ... :)
ReplyDeleteLorenzo Labinaz When I'm in a rush, a paring knife is my tool/weapon of choice.
ReplyDeleteNew Style, it is much more useful.
ReplyDeleteFingernail. None of this sissy tool stuff.
ReplyDeleteTeeth
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle Maybe Your last option is to call Chuck Norris :)
ReplyDeleteHad no idea there was a tool, but I'm old school. Give me bleeding knuckles and indented finger tips any day :)
ReplyDeleteThe orange one works great when you need it.
ReplyDeleteI have never used (let alone seen) the newer design, but I had several ones of the old design when I was little. In a very modest grey nuance. So my vote is obviously biased towards the old style.

Brick separator?
ReplyDeleteI've never used one of those new ones, but I like how much smaller it is, and that it has a peg for pushing out axles.
ReplyDeleteive only used the orange one , it can be awkward with some technic pieces
ReplyDeleteiSesamo.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the old one before! We have thousands of brick separators 😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteMy kids have about 20 of these. I always wondered what they were for. What they really need is a tool to put the arms back on the mini figures after my 6 year old pretends the got blown up.😂
ReplyDeleteI think the new is better, because it is smaller.
ReplyDeleteIt's change my whole world for the better!!!
