I can't see spending $12.99 plus shipping for a nubber, but that's just me. I'd rather spend it on a cigar or two.

I thought that way to until I saw how much more smoking I was able to get out of a cigar with a nubber. The avg is about another 5 minutes of enjoyment for a one time cost. Multiply that over a period of time and you get your money back pretty quick but if you like the screw,,,I say continue with what you like.

I wasn't going to mention them, but the creator of the Sweetness clip is not only a GENIUS, he's a heck of a guy too.

My only concern with using a screw as a nub tool is that many screws are plated in the production process. Some of the plating materials (cadmium comes to mind) are extremely bad for your health. I wouldn't want to take risks with the potential for ingesting/"inhaling" anything these plating materials might give off if heated.

I just stick with toothpicks.
