If you've got a desk lamp or two try pointing them at the source, if you're just using the normal room light then there probably won't be enough light to get a decent photo.Another thing i do rather than use the super macro mode is to use the normal macro and move the camera further away and zoom in, sometimes gives clearer pics.My 2p's worth of suggestions!Roadie
Tesco's had them for £3.97 a while back

just watch them incandescent lights, makes things red/orange-ish!
Another thought, could you use your Sidewinder* to illuminate the tool, i know the head can rotate but can it rotate enough?*(that is the one with the swivel head isnt it?)

It does a great job of compensating. You can also use the custom white balance option by using a white sheet of paper under whatever light you're using.
Much improved Ben! Nice work, there'll be no stopping you now!
