As a hobby, I like to fire my pellet rifle. However, the pellets are made from lead and I get lead dust on my fingers and wherever else I touch. We live in a day where society has been educated in the toxicity of lead poisoning. I came up with a simple solution to this problem. I made a "Pellet Plucker". If you're like me... this project might be of use for your similar situation. "Ready....Aim.... Let's Build"!

Step 1: Parts Needed

Mechanical pen with removable tip
15 centimeters of single strand steel wire (mig welding wire)
4 centimeters of 2mm heatshrink
Hot glue

Step 2: Tools Needed

Pair of pliers and a Hot Glue gun.

Step 3: Disassemble the Mechanical Pen

Completely disassemble the pen and keep the spring, push-end and housing. Use the pliers to remove the plastic tip.

Step 4: Internal Assembly

Heatshrink the 4 cm shrink to one end of the wire.
Hot glue the push-end to the other end.
Slide the spring through the heatshrink end and hot glue the one end to the inside end of the shrink.

Step 5: Re-asemble the "Pellet Plucker"

Put the new parts inside the house
Take your pellet and form the wire around it
Clip excess wire.
