Kikkerland Everlasting Pencil Keychain
This ultra-compact keychain tool from Kikkerland consolidates two essential capabilities into a tiny stainless steel package measuring just 3.5cm long. Combining an everlasting graphite pencil with a flathead screwdriver, it addresses common situations where you need to jot down information or make quick repairs without carrying separate tools.
The everlasting pencil uses a metal alloy tip containing graphite that creates marks through oxidation rather than traditional graphite shavings. Unlike wooden pencils, it never needs sharpening, never runs out, and maintains its point indefinitely. The marks are erasable and similar in appearance to traditional pencil - light grey lines suitable for notes, lists, sketches, or temporary markings. This makes it ideal for situations where you need to capture information quickly but don't have a pen or traditional pencil to hand.
The integrated flathead screwdriver handles small screws found in eyeglasses, electronics, battery compartments, or other light-duty tasks. Whilst the 3.5cm length provides limited leverage compared to full-sized screwdrivers, it offers emergency capability for common situations - tightening a loose screw on spectacles, opening a battery compartment, or making quick adjustments to small fixtures.
Key features include:
- Everlasting pencil: Metal alloy graphite tip that writes indefinitely without sharpening or replacement
- Erasable marks: Creates traditional pencil-style marks that can be removed with standard erasers
- Flathead screwdriver: Integrated tool for small screws and light-duty repairs
- Stainless steel construction: Durable, corrosion-resistant material suitable for keychain carry
- Ultra-compact size: 3.5cm length and 0.8cm width/thickness adds minimal bulk to keychains
- No maintenance required: Never needs sharpening, refilling, or replacement parts
- Keychain attachment: Stays accessible for opportunistic use throughout the day
Particularly useful for those who frequently need to capture quick notes (shopping lists, phone numbers, addresses), wear glasses (loose screws always seem to loosen at inconvenient moments), work with electronics, or simply appreciate having basic tools readily available. The tool handles quick note-taking and precision work on small screws but isn't designed for extended writing sessions or heavy-duty mechanical tasks.
At less than 1cm thick, this tool adds virtually no bulk to your keychain - smaller than most keys and lighter than traditional keychains. The stainless steel construction withstands the daily wear of pocket carry, key contact, and regular use without corroding or degrading.
