pocket scriber

[lectrician]

You can make a real handy scriber by putting a drill blank in a normal retractable pencil. I use a Number 70 or 71 blank. the high speed steel that they are made out of will not loose it's temper if you over heat it while sharpening. and you can extend it any length to mark a hole or get into that hard to reach spot. Then retract it and put it into your pocket.

Where would one get a drill blank? Especially that small. Good idea, though.
