7″ IRIDESCENT STAINLESS STEEL DAB TOOL

The 7-inch Iridescent Stainless Steel Dab Tool is a dual-ended dabber built for concentrate enthusiasts who want versatility and style in one piece. With a paddle tip on one end and an arrow tip on the other, this tool handles everything from crumbly wax to sticky shatter without needing to switch between instruments. The rainbow iridescent finish adds visual flair to your dab station while the ridged grip keeps the tool secure in your fingers during sessions.

Key benefits

• Two tips, one tool — The paddle end scoops up crumble and budder while the arrow tip pierces and portions stickier concentrates like pull-and-snap or live resin
• Stays put in your hand — Ridged grip section on the handle means no slipping, even when things get a little oily
• Built to last — Stainless steel construction resists corrosion, won't bend under normal use, and cleans up easily
• Extra reach for safety — At 7 inches (178mm), you get comfortable distance from hot bangers and nails
• Looks good on the station — The iridescent rainbow finish catches light and stands out from basic silver tools

Best for

This tool works well for dabbers who rotate between different concentrate consistencies throughout the week. If you're tired of grabbing three different tools depending on whether you're hitting shatter, crumble, or something in between, the dual-tip design simplifies your setup. The 7-inch length also makes it a solid choice for anyone using larger rigs or drop-down setups where a stubby 4-inch tool would put your knuckles too close to the heat.

How to use it

The double blade paddle tip works best for scooping and spreading. Dip it into your concentrate jar, collect your portion, and drop it directly onto your heated banger or nail. The flat surface area makes it easy to spread material evenly for more consistent vaporization.

Flip to the arrow tip when you're dealing with stickier textures. The pointed end lets you pierce into concentrates that like to pull and stretch, giving you better control over portion size. It's also useful for cleaning up residual material from the edges of your banger after a session.

After each use, let the tool cool down before wiping it clean. For built-up residue, soak the tips in isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes, then wipe dry. The stainless steel won't degrade from occasional alcohol cleaning, and the iridescent finish holds up well with normal care.

When you're not using it, keep it on a silicone dab mat to protect both the tool tips and your table surface from sticky residue.

Frequently asked questions

What types of concentrates work best with each tip?

The paddle tip handles crumbly and softer consistencies like budder, badder, and sugar wax. Use the arrow tip for stickier stuff like shatter, pull-and-snap, live resin, or anything that stretches when you try to scoop it. Most dabbers end up using both sides in a single session depending on what they're working with.

Will the iridescent finish wear off over time?

The rainbow finish is created through a heat-treatment process that changes the surface of the stainless steel rather than coating it. With normal use and cleaning, the finish holds up well. Aggressive scrubbing with abrasive materials could eventually dull the iridescence, so stick to soft cloths and alcohol wipes for maintenance.

Is 7 inches too long for smaller rigs?

Not really. Even on compact rigs, the extra length gives you more control and keeps your fingers away from radiant heat. You can always choke up on the grip if you need finer control, but most people find the length comfortable regardless of rig size. It becomes especially useful if you're loading a quartz banger at a 45-degree angle.

Can I use this with a nectar collector?

The dab tool is designed for loading bangers and nails on rigs rather than for use with nectar collectors. With a nectar collector, you typically dip the heated tip directly into your concentrate container, so a separate dab tool isn't necessary for the actual dabbing process. That said, the arrow tip can be handy for portioning out concentrate before a session.

How do I clean sticky residue off the tips?

Let the tool cool completely first. For light residue, wipe with a dry paper towel or cloth. For stubborn buildup, soak the tip ends in 91% isopropyl alcohol for five to ten minutes, then wipe clean and let dry before your next use. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.

Does stainless steel affect flavor compared to titanium or glass?

Stainless steel is considered flavor-neutral when it's kept clean. Unlike titanium, which some users report can impart a slight metallic taste when heated repeatedly, stainless steel dab tools are typically only touching the concentrate briefly before it hits the banger. For dabbers with sensitive palates, glass dabbers are the most neutral option, but for everyday use where durability matters more than micro-flavor differences, stainless steel is a practical choice.

What's the advantage of ridged grip over smooth handles?

Ridged grip sections give your fingers something to hold onto even when there's a little oil transfer from handling concentrates. Smooth handles can get slippery during longer sessions, especially in warmer environments where concentrates soften up. The texture also helps with precision when you're trying to place a small dab exactly where you want it on the banger.
