Default Makeshift draw tool

There was some recent discussion re: draw tools. I never bought the Henry's draw tools, and I've been looking for a suitable alternative. I did not want to buy the Draw Poker from Thompson.

I have an old cigar box where I keep my lighters, cutters, etc, and I always keep a few paper clips in there for draw correction purposes. However, I wanted something a little nicer. I went to Lowe's and got a 4 piece hook and pick set, (pic attached) and the straight one was ok, but a little thick for my tastes.

Then, I was in Wal-Mart buying some arts and craft supplies for my students, and I saw a tool in the jewelry making section. It's called a bead reamer. Sorry, couldn't find a decent pic of one that looked like mine.

It's thinner than the straight pick and was inexpensive, less than $4.

Just wanted to post this as a heads-up for anyone looking for a draw correction tool that is nicer than a paper clip or toothpick.

I've also had good success with the tiny screwdrivers they sell at drugstores as part of "eyeglass repair kits."
