Dab Tools

About

A dab tool is a spatula, pick, or scoop that moves your dab from container to banger, so you can skip the burnt fingers. How to Use a Dab Tool Using a dab tool is pretty simple mostly, you're just trying to keep hot concentrate off your fingers. Scoop or pick up a small amount with the tip of the tool, then transfer it straight onto your heated banger . A pointed tip works well for sticky concentrates like shatter, while a scoop or paddle shape handles softer textures like budder more easily. If you use a nectar collector instead of a full rig, some dab tools double as the tip there too. How to Clean a Dab Tool Wipe off any leftover concentrate right after use, while it's still warm and easy to remove. For a deeper clean, soak the tool in isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes, then wipe it dry. Working over a dab mat also keeps residue off your table in the first place. What to Use Instead of a Dab Tool In a pinch, a toothpick or paperclip can work as a stand-in, but neither is built for the heat or mess the way a real dab tool is. If you're also missing a carb cap , that's a different tool entirely; it traps heat over the banger instead of moving your dab. Shop the Full Dab Kit A full dab setup comes down to a few key pieces working together: a banger, a torch to heat it, and a dab tool to apply the concentrate. Honeybee Herb is one of the most trusted names in dab tools if you want a reliable pick to start with.
