Q3: It is often said “You can never have enough clamps/cramps!”. What tool or kit would you happily have more of, and why?

A3: These are weirdly specific and come in no particular order:

  • If you have broken the factory seal on the last can of book darts you need to order another can
  • The human race in its collective effort has still not manufactured enough binder clips.
  • However much lighting you have you are at least one light source short of illuminating the workpiece. Three if you're also trying to magnify.
  • Your "helping hands" or other work holding system is always one point of attachment short of correctly holding the work the way you need it.
  • Your flux pen is probably dry at any given moment in time.
  • The correct unit of purchase for pen wash is a 4L jug; or, ideally, a powdered product you can mix on demand.
  • There is never a suitable brush to sacrifice to adhesives.
    • Even if you bought a whole case of them at some point

And finally:

  • In the kitchen, the correct number of storage containers is always one greater than the total number owned.
