A dab tool is the small tool you use when dabbing to pick up the concentrate and place it into the hot banger. Concentrates are sticky and often viscous – you can't do it with your fingers, but with a dab tool, it's clean and precise.
Why do I need a dab tool?
Concentrates like wax or shatter are difficult to portion by hand. The dab tool picks up exactly the right amount without anything sticking or getting lost. Made of heat-resistant material, it withstands the hot banger.
What tips are available?
- Needle (Pick) – for solid concentrates like shatter.
- Spoon (Scoop) – for viscous consistencies.
- Paddle – for soft, sticky concentrates.
Many tools combine two ends, so you have the right one for every consistency.
What material?
Common materials include stainless steel, titanium, and glass. Heat resistance and no off-taste are important. Glass tools are taste-neutral, metal tools are particularly robust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use something else instead of a dab tool?
Better not – everyday objects are neither heat-resistant nor food-safe. An inexpensive tool is immediately worthwhile.
How do I clean the dab tool?
While it's warm, wipe it with a cloth. For tougher residues, briefly soak it in a cleaning solution.
