And now for something completely different.  I couldn't resist adding these to a temu order (not a sponsor) to see how well they worked.

The results are "pastel", but better than expected, and may find artistic use.

It was definitely a much better result than the really crap probe multimeter I got in the same order.

Temu everlasting pencil test

The everlasting pencil, also known as the infinity and eternal pencil is a novel writing/drawing device that uses changeable tips made of a very hard pigment-loaded material. The compromise is that the mark it makes is fairly light, although it does produce interesting shading results that might please some artists. These pencils are widely sold on Temu, eBay, AliExpress and other online platforms. I'm quite impressed by how many spelling mistakes I managed to make in one video. I'll just pretend that's how we spell things here. At least I got to test the slightly squishy eraser. I'm not sure how long a tip will last, but I'd guess that even a well worn tip will still have uses for filling in larger areas of colour. I got these pens expecting them to be pretty faint, and they didn't disappoint in that regard, but they do potentially have their uses. I'll stick to my Pilot V-sign liquid ink pen for my schematics though.

It's like a plastic holder for a crayon.

I prefer these Chinese pencils that use a 2mm lead. You simply get the 2mm leads of the hardness you prefer. I commonly use 2B, but if you want really bold lines, I use 8B, but the higher in B number you go, the softer the lead and bolder the line, but the higher B number you go the easier it is to snap the lead as you write. If you want a lighter shade of line, use H numbered leads. If you want a high quality mechanical pencil, Steadtler do very nice affordable ones and also do the sharpener for the pencils too.
