SMT Vacuum Tip Holder

Many vacuum nozzles have rubber suction cups on the ends that get deformed if they are not stored upright. This is a simple plastic part that helps store fragile SMT vacuum nozzles upright in a clear commonplace container. The container used is the 3.4-5oz bottle used by McCormick for their Grill Mates Rubs. You can find these bottles in any grocery store. The nozzles shown here are all metal, but they are roughly the same size as the rubber tipped ones. The container is the perfect size to fit even the largest nozzle I could find and keeps the nozzles dust free, which is excellent

To clean out the bottle and remove the seasoning smell, I let the bottle soak in dish soap for about a day.
