Switched from metal to silicone scrapers after 25 years of baking

I used to think metal bench scrapers were the only way to go for pastry work. Last month I picked up a silicone scraper from a local shop in Portland on a whim. The flexibility made it way easier to get every bit of dough out of the bowl without fighting it. Now I only use the metal one for cutting butter into flour. Has anyone else found a tool they ignored for years that ended up being a game changer?

Oh great, another Portland local flexing their artisan scraper while the rest of us are out here hoarding thrift store finds like gremlins.

Honestly @adam_butler38 thrift store gremlins are the real artisans, we just work in chaos.
