LUCCA WDT Tool vs Subminimal Flick WDT Tool

Both tools do the same job: break up clumps before tamping. The LUCCA is the simpler buy, with fixed 0.4mm needles, a stainless stand and a strong rating from a small pool of owners. The Flick is the more engineered tool, with retractable needles, two needle gauges, a magnetic wall mount and a much larger review base. Buy the LUCCA for a no-moving-parts tool that stores on the counter. Buy the Flick if you want retraction, portability and finer 0.35mm needles for lighter roasts.

• Choose the LUCCA WDT Tool if you want a fixed-needle tool with nothing to retract, jam or replace, and a stainless stand for the counter.
• Choose the Flick WDT Tool if you want retractable needles, a magnetic mount on your machine and the option of finer 0.35mm needles.
