I tried to clean my ears with cotton bud. One of the damn cotton bud got loose and stay inside the ear and didn't come out. Big panic.

My wife ask me to go see dr. So I decide to try DIY. Bought this special tool, cheap cheap at Shopee for $5. Waited for a few days before it arrived and my wife managed to lift out the bud. The tool has a slender tweezer, rounded end, to prevent hurting the ear, and comes with a LED light.

It's a life saver, everyone should have one on standby.

But clearly don't use cotton bud to clean your ears. Don't put anything smaller than an elbow inside your ear, as they say. ☹️

 

Someone shot a green bean into my ear with one of these. Went to barber for removal 😁

Recently went to ear specialist, who spent 1 min to suck up some impacted ear wax. He told me don't use cotton buds to clean the ear cannel, as it would just push the wax deeper and deeper.  Forgot to tell you!

he no money earn lah. 😁

don't have but I saw this recently, not very keen as the head where the square drive attach, looks thick and bulbous

unless a tool kit carry in vehicles, I prefer tools that don't need to 'lego' together before I can use

only two reasons 😁

1. your friend likes to do it himself/herself

2. paying others to do these jobs must be damn expensive there

My car has bad water stain on all the glass surfaces due to years of neglect. Tried all sort of cleaners, ploaih, steel wool and nothing worked effectively. Finally found one cleaner from Malaysia Mr DIY that works immediately. Sharing with those with the same problem.
