What happens here

The video illustrates the utility of the picks for reaching into a threaded pipe fitting to clear out debris, such as plumber's tape or sealant residue. The reviewer shows how the various hooks and angles of the picks (specifically the probe/swivel pick and the 90-degree pick) allow for effective scraping and retrieval of material that a standard screwdriver might not reach or could potentially damage the threads.

Goal: The reviewer demonstrates how different picks can be used to remove debris from inside a pipe fitting.
