Inventery Mechanical Pen

For the same price, you could buy approximately 1,080 Bic pens (if you opt for economical 144-packs). But you'll lose every last one of those plastic ballpointers, and won't feel like your written words are worth a dime. We're opting instead for the Inventery Mechanical Pen. Available in a black oxide or brushed chrome finish, this writing instrument is machined from a single brass rod to form a unibody construction. At the heart of the pen is a Schmidt P8126 capless rollerball in black ink, paired with an all-brass Schmidt click mechanism that's near-silent. Each pen has an anti-roll groove, and is marked with an individual serial number.

Conway Electric x Uncrate Smart Extension Cables

Surge protectors and extension cords are ugly. Conway Electric decided to put an end to that by creating their series of Extō Smart Chip extension outlets. Taking things even further, we've released an exclusive blackout version of their 6-outlet, surge-protected Extō 720 and standard 2-outlet Extō model with the addition of up to 5AMPS of USB-C capability, powerful enough to charge laptops. In addition to their 3-prong tamper resistant outlets, each features a USB-C and a standard USB-A port that both automatically adjust to the charging speed best suited to the device, then shut off when the device is fully charged, preventing over-charging that leads to shortened battery life. Non-marking feet allow the units to sit on surfaces with minimal shifting, and self-tapping screw holes on the back of each unit allow for wall mounting. The 6-foot cord on both models is wrapped in braided cotton insulation and is rated to 13 amps, and the entire steel assembly is made in the USA.

When we hear the phrase "tactical pen", our minds naturally drift to action movie scenes of some hapless baddie being offed with a well-placed Bic to the neck.
