A packing puller, hook or pick is a device that looks like a corkscrew on the end of a rigid or flexible shaft. They are made of different sizes to fit between the shaft and casing of a stuffing box of various size pumps and valves. The screw is twisted into the soft packing and then it is pulled out of the stuffing box. A packing pick is one of three tools that look like dental picks for removing leftover scraps of packing or for getting into tiny valve stuffing boxes.

- To distribute lubricants or liquid to the packing during operations.
The propeller is at the end of a shaft. The shaft passes through a fitting called a stuffing box. The stuffing box contains a material like cotton or waxed twine that wraps around the shaft. There are two or more bolts that hold the stuffing box together and by tightening or loosening the bolts you can squeeze or release the stuffing material to the shaft. Ideally you tighten the bolts to the point that water just drips in. This allows the shaft to spin freely. It is lubricated by the water. If you tighten the box too much then you can score the shaft. The water that drips in is usually pumped out by a bilge pump.
