5.5″ STAINLESS STEEL & RESIN DAB TOOL

The 5.5″ Stainless Steel & Resin Dab Tool is a compact, dialed-in dabber built for people who actually care where every bit of concentrate ends up. It’s sized just right for daily rigs and travel cases, with a flat stainless tip for clean scoops and a chunky resin handle that stays cool in your fingers. If you want one tool that feels solid, looks good, and doesn’t get weird around heat, this is it.

The stainless tip gives you the control you need for precise loading, while the resin handle brings the color and comfort. At 5.5 inches (139.7mm), it’s long enough to keep you away from the hot zone, but short enough to handle easily when you’re a couple dabs in.

What You Get Out of It

  • Clean, controlled scoops — Flat stainless tip lets you slice, scoop, and spread concentrates without fighting the tool.
  • No more hot-finger moments — Resin handle keeps the heat away from your grip so you’re not getting toasted every time you load up.
  • Daily-driver durability — Stainless steel tip shrugs off repeated heat cycles and sticky pull-and-scrape duty.
  • Easy to spot on a cluttered table — Bold resin colors stand out so you’re not hunting for your dabber mid-sesh.
  • Comfortable in the hand — The resin handle gives a solid, non-slip feel so you can focus on the dab, not the tool.
  • Pocket- and case-friendly — 5.5 inches (139.7mm) is compact enough for travel but still feels like a real tool, not a toy.

Best For

This dab tool is made for dabbers who like their setup simple, clean, and consistent. If you’re running a small to mid-size rig as your daily driver and want one tool that lives next to your dab mat and just works every time, this fits that role perfectly. It’s also a solid pick for people who are rough on gear and need something that won’t bend, chip, or get sketchy around heat.

How to Use It

Think of this as your precision scoop for anything sticky. The flat stainless tip works like a tiny spatula, letting you glide under your concentrate, slice off a chunk, and place it exactly where it needs to go on your banger, nail, or dish. No drama, no mystery angles.

The length gives you room to work without hovering your fingers over the hot zone, which you’ll appreciate when you’re doing back-to-back dabs or sharing around the table. Set the tool down on a heat-safe accessory tray or pad between dabs so you’re not sticking it to the coffee table.

When you’re done, let the stainless tip cool off. Once it’s not hot, you can wipe away any residue with a cotton pad or cloth. For those deeper cleans after a long week, a quick soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse, and dry will bring it back to looking fresh.

Fit & Compatibility

This tool plays nice with pretty much any standard dab setup — bangers, nails, and even nectar collector dishes if you like staging your hits ahead of time. The flat tip works especially well with stable, pull-and-snap, and thicker concentrates where you want to scoop, press, or spread your dab instead of just poking at it.

Care & Cleaning

Day-to-day, just let the stainless tip cool down after use, then wipe off any residue. When it starts looking cloudy or gunked up, soak the metal end in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and dry completely before you stash it with your other dab tools. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the resin handle so you keep the finish looking clean.

FAQ

  • Is 5.5 inches long enough to keep my fingers away from the heat?

    Yes. At 5.5 inches (139.7mm), you get plenty of reach so your hand isn’t hovering over the banger, while still feeling compact and easy to control. It’s that sweet spot between “tiny pocket tool” and “awkward long poker.”

  • Will the resin handle get soft or weird from heat?

    No, normal dabbing heat at the tip won’t make the handle soft or melty. The stainless tip takes the heat, and the resin handle stays comfortable to hold. Just don’t leave it sitting directly on a hot surface or in an open flame.

  • Can I use this with all types of concentrates?

    It works great with most common concentrates — think stable slabs, pull-and-snap, crumble, and thicker oils. If you’re dealing with very runny material, pairing it with a chilled dish or a lined container from our non-stick paper & PTFE collection can make handling easier.

  • How do I keep it from getting sticky over time?

    Let it cool after each dab, then give the tip a quick wipe so residue doesn’t build up. When it gets really coated, use a short soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse, and dry. Storing your concentrates in clean, wide-mouth concentrate jars also helps keep your tool cleaner when you’re scooping.

  • Is this better than a glass or ceramic dab tool?

    It depends what you like. Stainless steel is tougher, less likely to chip, and handles drops and knocks way better than glass or ceramic. If you’re tossing your gear in a bag or passing it around friends, this stainless-and-resin build is a lot more forgiving and fits in easily with the rest of your smoke shop gear.

  • Can I travel with this dab tool?

    Yes, it’s a solid size for travel cases and on-the-go kits. Just clean it off before packing, and keep it in a small pouch or alongside your rig or silicone bong or rig so you’re not digging for it at the bottom of a bag.

  • Does the color of the resin handle affect performance?

    Not at all. The color is purely for style and visibility. Pick a color you’ll recognize at a glance on a busy tray, especially if you’ve got multiple tools and accessories spread across your storage and packaging setup.
