That’s right folks, you read correctly. Today’s mimikaki is called The Technician.

The manufacturer boasts (in Japanese) that the design of The Technician makes it the perfect choice for 21st century earpicking. The soft spiral head at the tip provides a full 360 degrees of picking, providing you with more mimikaki power then ever before!

At the same time, the spiral tip dampens the pressure applied to the handle, delivering a “soft touch” inside the ear canal

The shaft of the The Technician can be detached and stored in the handle for easy transport. The other end of the handle houses a nylon brush for cleaning debris from the spiral tip. All of this comes in a hard case that makes The Technician the perfect gift item.
