Your latest purchases, cont.

I prefer oral deletion over the manual one ;)
 
My latest purchase is something from old-school technology. Over 100 years ago. The mechanical pencil.

Only this one, is rather different. There's all kinds of kickstarter projects on pens and mechanical pencils, but this one is a bit more special from Spoke Pen. It's essentially "bespoke", as you choose options to have your pencil built for you. $39 plus shipping. It also comes with a custom made stand, and refills for lead and erasers.

I picked the one with the red dot marked.

Ooh aye...

I love mechanical pencils. I have a really odd one here with four buttons on the sides, I'm assuming at one point it had four different coloured lead refills inside it. I'll post a pic later if I can find it.

Edit: Found it

One of my favorite things, when I was growing up, was office supplies. I LOVED mechanical pencils and only used those when I was in drafting class in high school. Well, I always used them, but I was the only person in drafting class to use one.

My latest purchases (gifted Amazon credit) were 100-feet of 3/8-in sisal rope, 100 1/2-inch 10-32 stainless set screws, and a Black and Decker carrying/storage bag for the drill and attachments that my mom bought me for my birthday.
 
Just bought the wife a walnut finished Amazon Alexa to replace her Eco Dot as a Christmas surprise. £54.99 Black Friday deal. Well happy with that as the walnut ones are normally nearly £100.
