This is a lighted earwax removal tool.

It has three interchangeable "heads", and lights your way with a surprisingly potent 5mm white LED.
You may also use this product as a flashlight.

The LED is powered with three LR41 button cells contained within the product's body.

To use this instrument, press one of the "heads" into the receptacle for them at the end of the product, turn the light on by sliding that red switch forward (toward the narrow end), call your child or other person who's earwax you want to remove to where you are (presumably the bathroom), and scoop out that earwax.

The Lighted Earwax Remover comes with three "heads".
1: Small "spoon" tip for children's ears.
2: Larger "spoon" tip for adult's ears.
3: Tweezer tip so that larger pieces of cerumen (earwax) can be grabbed and disposed of.

When finished, turn the light off by sliding that red switch backward (toward the tail end), pull the "head" you used out of the instrument, and douche it off under the faucet with warm water and soap.

Remove the tailpiece of the product and store the tips inside -- this helps to keep them clean and helps prevent their loss.


This product may also be used as a flashlight; all you need to do here is be certain that the earwax remover "head" is removed; the same red switch is used to turn the light on & off here.



To change the batteries, pull the tail end of the product off, unscrew and remove the front "cone" (the "socket" that the heads fit into), lift off the case half, carry them to the kitchen dustbin (garbage can), drop them in, remove the bin liner (plastic garbage bag) from the dustbin, tie it off, carry it to the outside wheelie bin (outdoor wheeled garbage can), slam the tied-off bin liner into that, take the wheelie bin to the curb, and patiently wait for the dust lorry (garbage truck) so that the dustman (garbage man) dumps the wheelie bin into the back of his dust lorry and drives away...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THOSE!!! So just set them aside instead.


This shows what you see when the case halves are seperated.

Remove and dispose of, recycle, or otherwise destroy the used button cells as you see fit.

Insert three new LR41 button cells into the compartment, orienting them so that their button-ends (-) negatives face the front of the product (toward the left as you see in the photograph a bit farther up this web page).

Place the "loose" half of the body back on, screw that front "cone" back on, and push the tailpiece back on.
Aren't you glad you didn't huck those pieces into the dustbin (garbage can) now?



This is a lighted earwax removal tool, not a flashlight meant to be carried around, thrashed, trashed, and abused. Therefore, I won't try to drown it in the toliet tank, bash it against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a front porch in effort to try and expose the bare Metalmarineangemon - er - the bare Metalkumamon - um that's not it either...the bare Metalwargrowlmon...er...uh...wait a sec here...THE BARE METAL (guess I've been watching too much Digimon again! - now I'm just making {vulgar term for feces} up!!!), let my mother's big dog's ghost or my sister's kitty cats spring a leak (uranate) on it, hose it down with a gun, run over it with a 450lb Celebrity motorised wheelchair, stomp on it, use a medium ball peen hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piņata Central {aka. "Party Central"}), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoņata (also located at Piņata Central) is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piņata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, or perform other indecencies on it that a flashlight might have to have performed on it.

So this section of the web page will be ***SIGNIFICANTLY*** more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight that was born to be a flashlight and nothing but a flashlight.

A product's country of origin really does matter to some people, which is why I published it on this web page.
