A nylon spudger is a tool that is manufactured with a fiber glass material which varies in density from manufacturer to manufacturer. There are many variations of this tool, most are used for prying components apart but they can also be used to scrape excess adhesive or silicone away. As well, they can be used in soldering applications where a wire hook is conveniently cut away from the side of the spudger. Most nylon spudgers measure 5 to 7 inches long and are black in color. These are sometimes referred to as a Blackstick or Black Spudger Stick.
