Pentel Mechanical Pencils and EnerGel Pen

It seems like I can never get enough pencils and pens.  However, not any pen or pencil will do so when Shoplet asked me to review these Pentel Sharp Mechanical Drafting Pencils and this Pentel EnerGel Alloy Retractable Gel Pen I eagerly jumped at the chance.           


These mechanical pencils are so cool!  I’ve never owned a mechanical pencil that wasn’t black so I was excited to try out these beautiful metallic pencils.  Aren't they beautiful? 



 These mechanical pencils come with six sticks of pre-loaded  0.7mm lead.  This lead is Super-Hi-Polymer which of course never needs sharpened.  This pencil lead would be like using a #2 pencil. It also has a pocket clip which I will use all the time... or I would probably lose my pencil quickly!  


Gel pens are my favorite type of pen and this Pentel EnerGel Alloy Retractable Gel Pen is a beauty!  This pen has a medium-sized point (0.7mm).  I love the way this pen just glides across the page and leaves no skips as you write.  The ink itself dries very quickly!!! No smudges while you are writing.  Yeah!! There are decorative silver ridges where your fingers grip the pen which allowed me to hold the pen easily and with control. 






Shoplet is one of my favorite places to do online shopping.  It is so easy to find the items you are looking for.  They have a wide range of Pentel products that I think you will be pleased with!  That’s not all though they have a nice selecting of  office suppliescleaning supplies, and medical supplies.  If you are in need of new  office furniture they might be able to help you out in that area as well.

Acme Westcott CarboTitanium Scissors


I am always losing my scissors…so I was definitely excited when Shoplet contacted me about about reviewing a pair of heavy duty Westcott CarboTitanium  8” pair of scissors!  


 I was definitely not disappointed.  Let me tell you everything that I absolutely love about them!

The blades are strong!  I mean really strong!   The package claims they are 8X harder than stainless steel.  


I decided to compare them to my favorite pair of scissors.   I cut through 20 sheets of paper with both of them.  When I used the Westcott CarboTitanium Scissors I had absolutely no problem cutting through them. Using my other scissors (my best ones)  I struggled quite a bit to cut through these 20 sheets.  It was hard to get a picture that showed it...but hopefully you can see what I'm talking about. 





I love how comfortable they are to my fingers while I am cutting.  They have a contoured soft grip handles which also allowed me to get a good grip while I was cutting.  Nice!



They have a lifetime warranty!  Nice!
  
If you haven’t ever shopped online at Shoplet, I hope that you will give them a chance to meet your shopping needs.  They carry an assortment of office supplies, cleaning supplies, medical supplies, office furniture and everything in between.


***Disclosure*** I received this pair of Wescott CarboTitanium Scissors at no charge.  In exchange, I have given my honest review of them.
