Systems and methods are disclosed for concentric suction cup tools with integrated brake assemblies. In one embodiment, an example picking assembly may include a first piston subassembly having a first shell and a first suction cup, the first piston subassembly configured to independently actuate from a retracted position to an extended position, and a second piston subassembly having a second shell and a second suction cup, the second piston subassembly configured to independently actuate from the retracted position to the extended position, and a brake assembly configured to engage the first shell and the second shell, where the brake assembly prevents axial movement of the first piston subassembly and the second piston assembly when the brake assembly is engaged.
