Zen and the Art of Icetool Maintenance

The Icetool is a wonderful, useful tool.   Keeps your hands clean, forms a perfect little prilla of snus and delivers it precisely.  But after a few uses, it becomes sticky, difficult to work.   Never fear, you don't need oils or replacements for the O-ring.  

Here's what the inside looks like after a few uses...  Some crumbs at the end, but those aren't your problem, it's the streaks of stuff on the interior that are causing your issues..   A pipe cleaner, doubled over and dipped in your favorite libation (I use Woodford Reserve Bourbon) will clean that out really quickly.



Here's the pipe cleaner after cleaning out the Icetool.


I used a bit of vodka so the color wouldn't hide the gunk coming off the Icetool.  After cleaning that guy out and a quick similar cleaning of the O-ring, the Icetool works just as good as new!   I don't use oils or wax on the O-ring, as this will encourage stuff to collect on it.   Just give the Icetool a quick cleaning as needed!
