Junk Journal Kit Review: Right Tool for Our Shop?
BYYDDIY Probe Tool Review: Right Fit for Our Shop?
In our ongoing search for small tools that do big work, the BYYDDIY Stainless Steel Dual Head Facial Reflexology Tools (P-L) caught our eye. It arrives with a simple felt bag, but the real story is in the metal: two distinct ends designed for precision pressing, tracing, and targeted release. In our hands, it feels more like a studio instrument than a casual accessory—cool, weighted, and easy to sanitize between sessions. We can see it fitting into facial mapping routines, alongside cupping, or as a quick trigger-point helper for neck and shoulder tension. Still, we’re asking the practical question: does this probe earn its counter space, or will it become another “nice-to-have” in our kit?
BENECREAT Bead Board Review: Right Tool for Our Shop?
In our search for a bead board that keeps projects moving (and loose beads from staging a great escape), we put the BENECREAT Wood Bead Design Board to work in our shop. The long oval-rectangle shape feels purpose-built for bracelets, with channels that help us line up patterns quickly and check spacing before we commit to stringing. We also appreciated the chakra pattern—not flashy, but visually grounding when we’re sorting colors and working through design variations. At 15.7 x 3.9 inches, it’s slim enough to sit beside our tools without taking over the table, yet roomy enough for multi-bead layouts. The real question: does it streamline our workflow, or is it just another “nice-to-have”?
