Sometimes...

... I'm amazed at how much a co-worker will carry around on his tool belt: various kinds of tape (and colors!), multiple meters and testers, wrenches, screwdrivers, a knife, a multi-tool, a flashlight, a headlamp, several different kinds of markers, two sets of gloves, cotter pins, a laser pointer, a water bottle, cube taps, wire nuts, pieces of zip cord and connectors, C-47s, etc...

And yet they consistently ask to borrow a pen.


I'm even more amazed at how often that happens.

There is just not enough room for a pen.

Niall - That's a good point!

These are all very good points you have made. Let me write them down. Have you got a pen ??


Sorry, just had to say it.

The pen breaks, splits open, etc. and gets ink all over your nice tools, belt and clothes.

If you carry a pen, people will borrow it and never return it.

Not carrying oner avoids being without one because of the above scenarios.
