In other news, I'm unreasonably excited about my new ratchet screwdriver, magnetic tray, and spirit level. I think this might mean I should get out more. 😂

They're sold as things to stop screws, nails, bolts etc from rolling off, but it's useful for anything that will stick to it, TBH!

Yeah, it's great for holding watercolour pans that have a small magnet of their own. Stops me knocking them flying! 😁

Does the screwdriver pivot too? Because that's a heck of a useful tool.

Have you seen outside? I can't recommend it. Although, I did enjoy seeing Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury this morning.

I mean. I have to go out sometimes if I wanna see invertebrates, so I don't mind all of the outside. Just y'know, the peopley bits of the outside.

Ooo I love a nice new ratcheting anything.

Same! I've a nice ratcheting tool set but the screwdriver was a bit brokk. The bits all fit the new one, which is extra handy since they came with different sizes. 😁

Make sure to keep your part numbers for the ones you like! If you didnt know. I know I've got numbers for my favorites just in case they goof up.

(Also I'm glad this place is not birdchan, so I can prob mention that without so many dudes popping up to mansplain what a screwdriver is/tell me to make them a fucken sammich or some shite.)

The screwdriver has a 72-tooth ratchet. The clicky-clicky is soo nice.

While we're on the subject of new studio kit... Silicone mats, my new favourite thing, work great with my cutting mat as well as my mulling plate. How did I not already use these things?? Given I can't feel some of my fingers and work with sharp knives, stopping things sliding around is v useful.

Dude. Tools are AWESOME. I have an excellent electric drill that is of course also an electric screwdriver and it makes putting stuff up or together SO MUCH FUN. :D

*I* am excited about your new ratchet screwdriver, magnetic tray, and spirit level and I'm an ocean and most of a continent away which is too far to stop by and admire them. Perhaps fortunately.

Well in that case, here's the magnetic tray - currently stopping me from knocking things off my bench while I'm putting itty bitty magnets on watercolour pans. So nice not to send pans flying any time my hands play up!
