FAQs

What is the Crystal Katana used for?

It is a rhinestone pick up tool, sometimes called a rhinestone picker or a crystal setter, for hand setting flatback crystals. The wax end lifts each stone off your tray and the metal end places and presses it into the glue. It replaces tweezers, wax pens and the blu tack on a cocktail stick method that most people try first, and it is used for nail art, dance and theatre costume, bridal work, cake artistry and jewellery making.

Is the Crystal Katana worth the money?

If you set rhinestones occasionally, a wax pen will get you by. If you set them in any real quantity, the Katana pays for itself in saved time and dropped stones. The tip holds its shape rather than denting, it does not need sharpening, and when it eventually wears you replace the tip for a fraction of the price of a new tool rather than starting again. It is also a tool you can hand a client across a nail desk without apologising for it. For professionals doing this daily, it is one of the easier buys to justify.

Does the Crystal Katana leave residue on crystals?

Far less than the alternatives. The tip is a firm jewellers wax rather than the soft beeswax used in cheaper positioners, so it grips on contact and releases cleanly instead of smearing. You may still see a trace on the surface of a stone occasionally, which is normal for any wax pick up tool. A wipe with an acetone based nail polish remover once your glue is dry clears both wax and glue residue and brings the sparkle straight back.

What size rhinestones does the Crystal Katana pick up?

Flatbacks from ss3 up to ss40, which covers almost everything you are likely to set by hand. It handles the tiny ss3 and ss5 stones that are fiddly with tweezers particularly well, and copes comfortably at the larger end too.

What happens when the wax tip wears out?

You replace the tip, not the tool. Our Crystal Katana replacement tip fits both the black and the bamboo versions, costs well under half the price of a new Katana, and swaps in about twenty seconds with no tools needed. With a light touch, one tip lasts for thousands of crystals.

Which should I choose, black or bamboo?

Whichever you like the look of. The wax tip and the performance are identical across both. The black has a sleek modern feel that suits a client facing nail desk, and the bamboo is warmer in the hand if you prefer natural materials.
