✂️ Michiko Select SE — Crane Balance + Thumb Swivel Freedom
For stylists who want the clean lines and low fatigue of a crane handle with the angle flexibility of a swivel thumb.
The SE keeps your elbow path lowered and wrist neutral (crane geometry) while the thumb swivel improves access and comfort for slide, face-framing, and tight zones.
🖐️ Crane Ergonomics + Thumb Swivel — Control with Comfort
The crane layout naturally lowers the shoulder and keeps the wrist neutral, ideal for long cutting days.
The thumb-only swivel adds range for angle changes without twisting the wrist—expect less pinch and forearm tension, and smoother position shifts during detail work.
🛠️ U.S.-Patented Elastomer — 1-Minute Swap & 10+ Years
Painkiller’s U.S.-patented elastomer connector can be replaced in about 1 minute—simple and tool-light.
With proper care, many pros use this swivel system for 10+ years. Spare elastomers are always available on our site for quick re-ordering.
