First Impressions
Haha! They actually arrived! All 11 of them flown in from Hong Kong for a penny each! - and that's with shipping. Unbelievable.
I will make this review brief.
Very little to this thing..... predictably
Arriving in nice padded envelopes (which must cost more than 1p on their own!) These little devices are neatly blister packaged retail style. Inside you get the Earpick preloaded with 3x button cells and 3 attachments. Most of the literature on the Packet is in Chinese of course but Instructions are not required.
The item requires two people to operate it. One person who has copious amounts of ear wax and one poor sod who has to stand there doing the scraping. All very disgusting I'm sure.
The build quality of these items is predictably piss poor. A cheap plastic main body encases a simple push contact light. The power switch is a very simple slider which pushes one leg of the led component against the negative terminal of the batteries. It's something you might find in a kids "discover electronics" kit. Amusing.
The three Wax scraping attachments are translucent allowing the tiny beam of the flashlight to shine down the tube to the point. It actually works OK in that regard.
It's easy to pick holes in this products quality by losing sight of the fact that these cost me nothing essentially. What am I moaning about?
One useful feature is the spare attachment storage area at the base of the handle. All 3 wax scrapers can be housed here. Great! 😥
As far as illuminated ear wax scraping goes, these must be up there with the best! lol. Ever seen any other ear scrapers before? Me neither!
The batteries are worth salvaging if nothing else.
A kids project?
Forgot it! There is no way I'm shoving this thing down my ear hole. It's not recommended.
It does still function as a mini light if you take the attachment off. When I say function, I mean a small dot of light that's hardly visible and useless. But nevermind
Rating: ✅✅✅✅✅ 5 out of 5 "Cheapest Thing Off Ebay"
This item gets full marks. Not because it's any good, but because they are basically FREE! Well OK 1p. (at the price I got them at)
Hard to think that anyone would want to shove this down their ear hole but there is clearly a market for them.
One wonders how this seller can make any money doing daft deals like this!
Buy some, even only for the batteries...
1p indeed!
