Gemstone and bead scoops / shovels

Decent quality gemstone scoops - these are great for counting out beads, cabochons, faceted stones - honestly, anything small really. Doesn't have to be jewellery related.

I use one of these every single day. These ones measure 59.5x45MM approximately.

There are some thinner metal scoops - these are quite hefty and have much less flex than the cheaper ones. Comparing these with another scoop I had, the cheaper scoop measures 0.15-0.2MM, and these thicker ones measure 0.38-0.45MM thick. Obviously, they're still pressed and spot welded but they will last for years.
