Jakemy hardware tools - seamed useful? i've never needed this

Army glove shells - i thought i used these a lot and were indistructable but now that i think of it, i don't use them that often and are probably pretty cheaply made.

Straws - these are probably already broken.

I bought a weeding knife. It helps remove a lot of the dirt and organic material caught in the cracks too. I plan to powerwash after that and then seal them up. It takes work but I like to avoid chemicals when possible.
