Here’s one I’m really appreciating today: a Kemper double-end mini stylus tool, catalog number DBSS. It’s the smallest of the three they offer:
Here’s a listing for almost eight bucks on Amazon Prime:
I’ve certainly got $8 out of mine, but I’m pretty sure I paid half that or less at my local art store.
These are sold for clay sculpting, but I’ve used mine as a scratch awl, embossing tool, thread laying tool, stitch pick, and even as a scraper to remove adhesive from uppers where it shouldn’t have been.
It’s a really humble tool. The wood isn’t heavy, and the points are only little metal bits that stick into the handle partway. But the light weight is probably for the best, and I haven’t had any concerns about breaking mine.
As with the Excel tool I mentioned elsewhere, I do find it handy to have two different tools on two ends. Sometimes with the Excel, which I keep with one sharp point on it, I have to be careful about twirling it around, to avoid scratching something I don’t want to. Not so much with the Kempber ball stylus, since both tips are round.
