Name and function of tool

[Ed Taublieb]

The name Craftsman is the only thing stamped on this pencil like steel "tool?"

Steel, plated, 6'' long and 1/2" diameter. It does not have a magnet. It has a shirt pocket clip. About 2" of the length has knurling.

It used to be a magnet....Had dozens of them over the years and some lost their magnetism and others didn't

It's a shirt pocket clip holder. It allows you to keep your spare pocket clips handy.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. I'm going to try and re-magnetize it.

Wondering if you response is a joke? Other reply said they are a magnet when sold, but lose their magnetism over time. That make a lot of sense to me.

That's called "taking the bait". Welcome to the forum - with all its characters!

Hmm. I guess my wife is correct. I'm not as funny as I think I am. Welcome to the forum Ed.

Keep at it. I heard that the intended use was to add another item to your shirt pocket to impress your co-workers. And, of course none of your co-workers would be able to say what it does.

It is for sticking in someone's eye. It saves getting that yucky ocular fluid from getting all over your digits.

Not good at this because it has flat 1/4" diameter ends.
