The PDT Montana Jack® has a thin, durable sickle blade that features a perfect contra-angle for the most versatile adaptation of any sickle scaler that can be used anywhere. This is the one instrument clinicians "can't live without". The number one sickle scaler in the world! Although other companies have tried to copy it, nothing is as thin, holds it's edge, and conforms to anatomy like the original Montana Jack! This makes a great interproximal carver too
Handle Design
Weighing just 13 grams, PDT instruments are amongst the lightest on the market. Each instrument handle is made of solid resin that is both lightweight and durable.
The unique pattern on PDT instruments is known as knurling. PDT’s knurling features a criss-cross pattern with wider gaps between the grooves. This configuration allows for thorough cleaning as particles and debris are easily dislodged during sterilisation.
The knurling extends to the tapered end of the handle where it meets the shank; this provides complete tactile sensitivity. The changing pattern gives you greater rotational control - even when wet - and better pull force with a feather touch.
This ergonomic design allows maximum comfort and significantly reduces strain on the fingers and wrists, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders over time.
Steel
PDT instrument tips are made from high-quality, 440A-grade stainless steel. Type 440A is a higher grade of cutlery steel with more carbon, allowing for better edge retention when properly heat-treated.
Over the years, PDT has developed a unique heat treatment and cryogenics formula to improve the quality of its steel tips. PDT instruments average a Rockwell C hardness of 59.
This results in sharper, harder, thinner blades that last longer and require far less sharpening.
Anatomically Colour-Coded
All PDT hand instruments are colour-coded for faster recognition and set-up.

I simply love all the instruments especially my Montana jack (obviously) my Langers and the set of Graceys. But also in the correct area I love the queen of hearts!

Tick all the boxes!
As a busy hygienist and buying my own instruments, I have to reach a delicate balance. They need to be affordable, durable, light weight and produce a lovely smooth surface. PDT tick all these boxes.

Light and easy to use
I was first introduced to PDT instruments when I was at Uni we had a talk about the product and the range available and we were each given a free Montana Jack to use when we started working in practice I used mine and loved it straight away it islight and easy to use the blades remain sharp I haven't needed to sharpen any of my PDT instruments yet I find them very tactile and the blades are angled to fit the tooth's surface exactly I cannot praise them highly enough so for me it has to be a star rating Ellie Steel Read More

Great access
I choose Montana Jack above the competition because it has a fine blade which allows for great access, and it has great tactile sensitivity through the handle and stays sharp.
I find it is useful throughout the whole mouth.

Awesome for build up and stain removal
The Montana jack has been my instrument of choice on every patient since graduation It is awesome for build up and stain removal interproximally in the tiniest of spaces and stays sharp for a long time We hammer them at our practice and can definitely say the boss gets hismoney's worth I find the competitors blades are a bit chunkier and blunt quite that bit quicker I was sold from day one Rachel Butler Self-Employed Hygienist Therapist Read More

I can hand scale for much longer
I love the handle on my PDT scaling instruments as I find the knurl pattern makes the instrument easier to hold and maintain a grip The lightweight material means I can hand scale for much longer due to less operator fatigue and also means no loss of tactile sensitivity thatI have sometimes experienced from the more 'squishy' varieties of scaling instrument handles that I have tried in the past Read More
