Ever since Beaducation's Engraver Tool Set was unpacked from its box, it quickly became my favorite tool of choice. I sure love to stamp, but to be able to add embellishment to the edges of my stamped blanks and draw whatever comes to mind on a piece of sterling or anodized aluminum is so much fun! It had me wondering, 'What tools do my fellow staff members hold closely to their own hearts?' I decided to ask each of them and find out.

Our Feisty General Manager, Claudia Navarrete was quick to answer, "The Hole Punch Pliers! I work almost exclusively with 20 gauge blanks or thinner, so they are the quickest and easiest way to punch a hole through my blanks. In a matter of seconds, my hole is punched. It's like a dream!"

Our Customer Service Queen, Lora Curran knew right away that her favorite tool is the, "Sliding Millimeter Gauge. I find myself using this tool daily when customers are asking which font size will work best with a certain size blank. It is tough to eyeball the difference between 2mm and 3mm, but with this handy lil' gauge, there's no guess work at all."


Our Director of Education, the Fabulous Kate Richbourg, answered, "The Large Diamond Files, Set of 5. I have always had a set of these because they are so multi-directional. You can use them wet or dry, for PMC or metal. They are the perfect shape and they last forever. The vendor I purchased my original set from went out of business so I sent the set to a new vendor who made them to my exact specifications and now they are available for everyone to enjoy!"


Our Inventory Lead, Danelle Street (a.k.a. The Ravishing Riveter) said, "I'm nuts about all of the Fretz Hammers. They really are little works of art with their precision-milled heads and the Padauk wooden handles. You just feel special when you use them. What Lamborghini is to cars and Rolex is to watches, Fretz is to hammers!"

So there you have it. These are the Beaducators favorite tools. What is your favorite tool and why? We'd love to know.

There's some great tools there. I'm not sure what my favorite tool would be. Although I just got a disc cutter for my class I took at Beaducation from Kim St. Jean, and I really like that right now.
