Help me find these items (tools)

[Monty]

What I'm looking for is basically a short plastic stick (+/-4 inches?) with a very small suction cup at one end.   

If memory serves, Micro-Mark used to sell these in packs of 10 or so, but I don't see them now.

Any links would be appreciated.

To me, they look like they'd be a far better way to pick up small objects than trying to use your fingers.  In my case, I plan to use them to pick up clear headlight lenses and position them as accurately as possible in the bezels.  (If you've ever seen the effect haphazardly placed headlight lenses can have on the "realism" of a model kit, you know what I'm trying to avoid)  

I'm aware that any part I'll want to pick up with these will need to have a certain amount of smooth surface, and I'm sure you guys have a dozen cheaper ways to accomplish tasks like this, but I just wanted to give them a try.

Hi,

Well would this help;

I just got mind and it comes with 3 suction cups being small enough to pick up head light lenses in my opinion.  The suction cup pictured is the largest of the included 3 suction cups.
