New brick separator adds Technic axle pusher, tile-removing wedge
Paul Lee just got back from a trip to Billund, where he picked up a brick separator with some new features.
Paul says:
The brand new debricking tool. It’s smaller. Streamlined down to about the footprint of a 2 x 10 plate. There are many notable new features. There is a technic axle pusher for removing those stubbornly embedded axles. There are of course the standard top and bottom brick removing configurations. Also new is the pointed wedge at the back end of the lever, very useful for popping tiles and splitting plates that the other end can’t. It basically doubles as an ABS thumbnail. It’ll do whatever you would do with your thumbnail without ruining your manicure. Lastly, another nice added feature is the jumper plate offset in the underside, allowing the removal of jumper plates that the previous version of the tool could not handle.

Didn’t see that one coming, can’t wait to get my hands on one.

I always wished Lego would make one like this.

I can’t tell for sure, but can these new separators be used in pairs like this? http://www.flickr.com/photos/retracile/5377762249

Yes they can. The axle pusher will fit into the cavity of the separator on top.
