Stocking Stuffer Oddities

[splinter99]

The LOML restocked my depleted supply of pen kits for Christmas..In addition to the usual
assortment of slimlines, cigars and sierrias, she supprised me with a couple of different kits that I hadn't tried before.

The first is the Tool kit pen from Berea Hardwoods..It has a hollow compartment that houses a pen, tweezers, x-acto knife, slotted and phillips screwdriver tips..all of witch lock into a collet on the nib section..The bottom barrel is also hollow so you can store extra x-acto blades, matches etc.

The other unique kit is pen state industries Buffalo Bullet pencil
It uses those small pencils that you use in golf and has an ereaser on the end
Kind of a cool little kit that people who use pencils alot may like..havnt figured out theright shape..may go a little thinner on the next one

Nice job on both. I have a lot of short pencils I could us with the Buffalo Bullet Kit.

Nice job on both kits, Splinter. On the Buffalo pencil, I've done two. I shortened the 2cd one because it was so long that when I wrote with it (posted) the weight of the eraser end was waving around behind my hand and was very distracting. I took almost exactly the length of the chrome trim on the non-eraser end off the tube, and liked the result much better. There was still room for the stubby pencil that comes along with the kit.

Not sure I'lll do any more though....

Yeah you got that right guts..actually I sold it to someone, but convinced him that it needed to be properly "tested" before he takes ownership...I sure go out of my way for my customers....
