Abstract
Parts pick-up and manipulating devices are provided which are especially suitable for use with small or easily damaged or difficult to pick up parts. A device is provided with a handle portion and a pick up portion with the pick up portion being coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The pick up portion has a contact area sufficient to be able to securely pick up and manipulate parts which have a generally planar contact surface. The pick up portion is constructed so as to be easily flexed or maneuvered in order to reduce the contact area in order to release the part from the pick up device.
