Northern Tool and Equipment Haul

Paid a visit to NTE after a long time. Found these for a dollar a piece. I really don't need these but could not resist, especially the caliper pen. Thought it was cool.

I got the camo lantern/flash light from Khols for less than $5 soon after christmas. Beats my $30 Streamlight Seige lantern in brightness but not in features though.

Btw, I could not find a 'Show me your cheapie' thread. I think we should have one.

I don't mind the idea of a cheapie thread!

That caliper pen is sweet!!

The caliper pen I got is plastic. Wished they had one in metal. But... it was only a dollar. Amazon has similar ones for $30-$40 and they are made in Germany. Given the price I think they might be metal.

The original is called Messograf and made in germany from chrome plated brass.

I really like that. Never even thought of a caliper pen before seeing this thread, but now I need one

Can I get a caliper in a fountain pen?

That's the problem with these threads: Somehow something we never before  considered useful or even knew could exists unexpectedly stands in front of our eyes , and suddenly, an overwhelming conviction of usefulness takes over us. Our senses and our peace of mind are captured by that unbelievingly so far unseen need until we create every single strategy we are capable of to convince ourselves not to buy it or, some times (or most of the times, who knows) to get it. And we keep reading and searching.
It's so fun.
