eTone gray 35mm leader picker
35mm
When to choose it
Use this slim plastic picker when a 35mm leader has disappeared into the cassette and you want to recover it without lifting the end cap. It is compact enough to keep alongside the opener on a small loading bench.
The seller describes a flexible blade tip. Read the blade-position instructions before forcing the picker into the cassette. Pull any exposed frames from the cassette in total darkness.

Questions about this product
Does the tool remove the cassette cap?
The picker pulls the leader back through the cassette slot. An opener is used when you need to remove the cap.
What should I do if the blade does not catch the leader?
Follow the seller’s instructions for positioning the flexible tip and stop if the tool binds.
Is this useful for loading medium-format film?
The seller specifies a 35mm cassette. Use the loading instructions for the medium-format spool instead.
