    What are your most prized instruments? Or the ones that you like best?
    Pick one or several. You can add pictures as well, to explain better.

    Mine's a soldering iron. Every time I use that kit, my heart fills with joy for some reason.
    And the other one is a claw hammer. I'd take it with me on a quest if there was one.

    What are yours?

    My rubik's cube. I get really fidgety when my hands are not doing anything. It really helps me calm down and keep my focus from wandering.

    My drill driver. I've used it so much to fix things and build things in my house. I recently upgraded to a more powerful model and I can't wait till the spring because I have a bunch on construction projects lined up.

    Out of all tools I use in my daily life, it's scrubbing sponge, I shit you not.

    Dishwashing is already an indispensable part of my daily ritual, and I consider it as an escapade from freelance work, delayed invoices, messy house (kids, heh), and many other things that could depress me further throughout 2020. It just calms me down when I scrub all those filths and scums away, and I don't think it would be too much different this year.

    the attachment isn't showing.

    and geez, after you said it - I'd actually take a spoon on my quest too

    I can relate, but with cleaning brushes (the ones with bristles). They're so helpful for when you scrub the kitchen and bathroom sinks. I stock up on them before I have a cleaning day coming up.
    Though I don't think I could manage without a sponge either - I use them very often!
    Cleaning does calm one down, indeed

    Oh yeah, drill drivers are great. Tbh, I didn't realize how great they were, up until a door lock needed fixing, and I needed to take it out of the door. Usually a screwdriver would suffice, but that lock was very old, and the screws wouldn't bulge. The drill driver was a godsend at that moment. Took that lock out of the door in no time. Since then I appreciate my drill driver very much.
    And good for you - upgrading is sure nice!

    I had a numeric lock that I locked on an accident, and I didn't know the correct code to open it.
    T-T
    but yeah, I also love puzzles. (and riddles, although that's not really related to the thread)

    I have a quick temper and have trouble controlling it. The punch bag is the best solution for that. As a school athlete I love my gym equipment. These are the things I like right now.
