You can get Dental pick sets on eBay for super cheap! (new too) I got one a few years back for .99 . At the time I was working at an electronics repair shop, was super handy.

Not really a tool, but I got a “headlight” for a stocking stuffer, I use it all the time, in spite of looking LIKE a tool when I’m wearing it. I got this one it’s bright as hell.

Do they sell it anywhere local yet or do you still have to order it online? I’m down to about 1/2 can.
