Snorkel Snake
For clearing and cleaning blocked Sheaffer Snorkel tubes, we use this tool almost on a daily basis. If you restore Snorkels this is a must have tool. There are times that several runs through the ultrasonic cleaner in flush or Rapido-Eze just won't clear the blockage. This handy tool made with stainless steel piano wire is the perfect size to thread up between the feed and the inside Snorkel tube wall. When a clog is real bad, twisting back and forth with mild forward pressure will clear almost any blocked tube. Can also be used for clearing clogs in Sheaffer Balance tailed feeds..
