sell those for ten bucks or so. Everybody should have at least one.

I have one. I thought about that but just hadn't got around to it.
Stethoscope is nice too. Handiest thing I own is a telescopic magnet.
It has saved me several times. Seems like every time I drop something
it lands in a hard to get place.
