Pro tip: I switched from tweezers to a vacuum pen for sensor cleaning

I used to spend forever trying to grab tiny dust specks off sensors with tweezers, but after dropping one into a Nikon D850 last month, I switched to a vacuum pen. It's way faster and I haven't had a single scratch since. Anyone else made a similar change for cleaning jobs?

Honestly, that sounds like a genius move after the tweezers disaster. What kind of vacuum pen did you go with? I've seen a few cheap ones online that look pretty flimsy. Is there a specific brand that actually has enough suction for the really stubborn bits?

@ivanl76, did you try the one from iFixit? I mean, mine gets the job done even on the really stuck stuff.
