Archimedes’ Screw ~ Onetime Plastics
The EU recently overwhelming passed a directive to ban single-use plastics & rightly so IMO considering:• Roughly half of the annual plastic production is destined for a single-use product.• Half a million straws are used in the world every day.• According to a study from Plymouth University, plastic pollution affects at least 700 marine species, while some estimates suggest that at least 100 million marine mammals are killed each year from plastic pollution.• More than 50% of sea turtles eat plastic. 50-80% of all dead sea turtles found have plastic inside them.• Grazing and scavenging animals, such as cows, seagulls, dogs and camels, regularly eat plastic that has been contaminated with human food.• Ocean plastic has been ingested by 90 per cent of all seabirds alive today.• The Marine Conservation Society has described cotton buds as one of the most prevalent varieties of pollution on beaches in the UK.Highlight & search any of those points & you’ll see more comprehensive evidence of the effect plastics is currently having on our wildlife, oceans & ourselves.Microplastics are already making their way into human consumption!There’s a horrific video online of a turtle having a straw removed from its nose ~Fair warning, it is not for the squeamish!Due to restrictions on here, I cannot mention brand names/manufacturers but I’m guess you’ll know whom I’m on about when I say a market leader recently vowed to change from plastic to paper but they are only doing so in countries where they are required to, that’s not good enough & I refuse to support companies like that – Profit margins are all they listen to.Rant aside, I purchased this mainly for the buds, but the other implements are all also well manufactured, easy to use, store & clean – Zero issues.The bud/ear utilities work as you’d expect and the whisk-like one (pictured above by the manufacturer) is particularly ingenious as many market disposable buds are not recommended, due to and alone, compacting issues.Basically, there’s a risk of packing any ear wax in further & tighter much like packing an old cannon.The whisk-like aid circumvents such mishaps whilst trapping wax it can also work much like Archimedes’ Screw.I’ve copied & pasted much of this from a review I did for metal straws as the same holds true for cotton buds/swabs (onetime plastics).If anything is unclear or if there's anything you're wondering about in relation to this product,please don't hesitate to ask & I'll endeavour to do my best to help.

Love it
It comes with a cute little pouch with all the mentioned tools in the that pouch separated neatly. Very good quality tools, I was bit confused what to use for what. I had to get my head around and its just amazing kit. Totally loved it.

Good kit - I probably just don't know how to use it properly!
I tried all the different tools, but because I'm not skilled in using them, I ended up leaving red marks all over my face!
