Ever seen an orchidometer?

Stannous, we had to take my son to an endocrinologist when he was young, because he was quite small for his age. He still is, but it's just because his dad and I are short, too, lol. Anyway, the doctor had one of those, that she used in the course of his exam. After she was finished, while we were talking, my young son picked it up, started playing with it, and then slipped it onto his wrist like a bracelet! I think ALL us adults were trying not to bust out laughing, that day.

I've used specialty titanium wrenches and screwdrivers to install drivers into speaker cabinets. Steel tools would be an incredible pain.

Those rare-earth magnets in speakers are some strong stuff! Stainless tools would work also, as it's usually non-magnetic.
