Wouldn't counseling be a more practical solution ?

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Do you find the Xcelite drivers smell like puke? We have them all over work, in almost every toolbox and they all smell like vomit. It's effing weirdFor my birthday when I was about 15, I asked for nut drivers and was rewarded with the color coded Xcelite set. I have been using them ever since, great set.
More recently I picked up a Wera metric set.

No smell. I also have 5 of the mini/stuby sets; nutdrivers, Allen drives, screwdrivers etc. none of them smell, but they are all most likely decades old. The small sets are in a drawer at my electronics bench where I use them all the time.
Yup, I've got Xcelite tools from the 90's and they do smell like crap. It's like the cheap rubber that stinks like sour oil and it takes forever to go away.

Slonik – 1000 Lumen LED USB Rechargeable Headlight
Mostly for automotive work but I have found other opportunities to use it.
Very comfortable and adjustable. Much superior to other headlamps I've used. So much better I went from disliking a headlamp to can't imagine doing certain jobs without it.

Way easier than the one shots. Made up some gate cross braces and lanyards for tools quick and easy.
