Not really a tool but you need a loads of cable ties.

Ooooh I think I better get some of them. Might help me tidy my guts up a bit. Do you use these inside all your pedals Janne?

I have recently used them in most of my pedals. They are also useful for making strain relief to the alligator clip end of the audio probe cable and other DIY adaptors.

And you can also use them monting small PCBs with these.

QuoteSadly the RS web site does not list it anymore, but I found similar hand drills with bits for PCBs on UK sites.
But no sharpened pointer, dam, thats the sweetest plum! I wonder if Steve could source this one???

Two places you can probably find one: a welding supply shop - they're used for cleaning welding tips - that's where I got mine; or a hobby shop, the kind that sells plastic model kits.

Completely offtopic for the forum but somewhat ontopic for the thread (technically it is a tool). I bought this today:

Can you tell where my mind is lately?

I am now convinced there is a tool for everything!

I have a tapered reamer that will take a 5mm hole out to something like 32mm, Not one of the stepped ones, just a fluted cone. I use this a lot for adjusting hole sizes, or for safer boring of larger holes in die-cast or aluminium boxes. Very useful.

This could come in handy for stompbox related stuff...

That looks great. I would get one but by the time postage is on top I think it's over priced. One has gotta' way up if the cost is worth the need.
