Don't Rub Beryllium Tools on your Skin

Cool fact: beryllium scissors, screwdrivers and pliers are used near MRI machines since the metal doesn't react (noticeably) to the magnetic field. I looked into getting some Be-tools, but apparently the metal is highly toxic and the tool sets are really expensive. $4,000 a tool-set expensive. Weak.
