[REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
[REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
Indexed
Have you ever had this happen, You're taking apart your latest build and after five minutes of speedy destruction all you have left is a bunch of small plates stuck together and a base plate filled with flat tiles. Now you get to spend another 10 minutes trying to pry all this apart.
Well Lego has must have thought about this too, they sell an item for 2.49 called 'Brick Separator. I recently bought 2 of these and I can not recommend them enough. In my opinion they should start putting one of these in every set!
Here are some example of how the separator can be used:
Before:
After:

And after all those pieces are taken apart the only thing that remains is the base board with the flat tiles, time to break some nails and damage some Lego bricks! Here is how the separator can help with that:
Before:
After:
PROS:
*No more damaged bricks
*Increased speed when breaking down Lego constructions.
*No more painfully broken finger Nails
*No more teethmarks on bricks
CONS:
*You really need two, and Lego sells them only in single packages.
*A small 1x2 plate and a 1x2 flat tile still are nearly impossible to take apart

Thanks for the review. I'm tempted to order a couple.

You should, it's the best 5$ I've spent in a while.dr_spock wrote:Thanks for the review. I'm tempted to order a couple.
Re: [REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
They are money extremely well spent. I keep mine on top of my LEGO cabinet, that's how much I use it. However, if you have kids who are into LEGO....get them each one or you'll never be able to find yours.
Disclosure of location should be required when listing your finds!
Re: [REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
$5?!??! they are making a killing. I was ready to buy one after reading the review and now I might just buy only one for my niece. I hate knowing how much it cost to produce things.
Re: [REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
It's $5 for two of them. They're $2.49 a piece, as stated in the review.slacker wrote:$5?!??! they are making a killing. I was ready to buy one after reading the review and now I might just buy only one for my niece. I hate knowing how much it cost to produce things.
Re: [REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
Sorry about any confusion, they are 2.49 a piece, but I would recommend buying 2(4.98$ or 5$ rounded) as just a single one will not really help getting two small plates off of each other.slacker wrote:$5?!??! they are making a killing.

Re: [REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
I just bought two. They're great. My son took one of them. With one separator left I still could remove two 1x2 plates stuck together if I stick them on top of a 2x4 brick or something similar first. But it seemed easier to do when I had two separators.
Re: [REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
I'll have to give that a shot

I didn't realize they worked on tiles as well! They really are essential.

Now I finally see how this separator works. I definitely will get a pair of this while my next shopping at S@H. ;)

Many years ago, when I was a little boy, these used to be Grey in colour.
It's like the best LEGO pc. ever. After I got one, I never had to use my teeth to pull apart the bricks anymore.. :D.

Re: [REVIEW] 630 Brick Separator x2
The inclusion of one of these in the MBA Kit 1 box is a great additional value to that set - now all I need to do is buy one separately and I'll have two! I have to say, I felt it was a bit of a novelty item at first, but since using the one I got with MBA.1 I have to say it's a great little tool for any serious builder.

I have inoperable cancer and am unable to work. Any gifts would be appreciated. Thank you!
