"Airplane manufacturing can get boring sometimes, but there is always a way to pep it up - buy some new tools!
Actually you get to enjoy getting new tools fairly often in the build, today was one of those days. I got a Brown Tool catalog and was attracted to several things I thought I needed. The ""headlamp"" was a real winner. I had one some years ago before LED's, and it gave shadows and did not work out well. This one eliminates all those problems, and is one that really works well! Has spot, flood, or both settings, and you don't feel the light is attached to your head, gives great light to work with. I was tiring of trying to find a place to prop up a flashlight, and I was growing tired of the taste of them in my mouth when holding them that way.
The second photo is of something I did not even know existed - diamond coated phillips bits! They have diamond dust in the screw portion, keeps it from wanting to come out or bugger up the head. I tried it out a bit, and it feels like it is being held in the slot by a strong magnet! Quite effective and not too bad on price either.
I had played with a piece of tubng taped onto a household vac to get down in the little cracks and crevices, not too great. Brown had a sale on some refurburshed ones, that will solve the problem very nicely, uses your air compressor to make a vac action."
