I can never get those pointy enough for dovetail work or cabinet work,
ok for framing though.

Yes, you never know when you're working, turn around and a vampire is
right there. Now, if you put it in a reciprocating saw you could take on
a whole gang of them.

Here's a tip that can SAVE YOUR LIFE!

This business about a wooden stake is pure Hollywood bullshit!

If you read Bram Stoker's book, you'll find that you dispatch a vampire with
a BOWIE KNIFE, not some pissant tentpeg!

We have a lot of Bowie knives here in Texas and hardly any vampire problem
at all.

Stuck on the end of an interchangeable-bit screwdriver, that might
actually be useful and usable. In a drill, that would take a real steady
hand and a fine touch, to avoid just snapping the pencil.

For one pencil, I'd be inclined to just use it hand-held.

I wonder how many they have sold? Dollar store has serviceable hand
pencil sharpeners a whole lot cheaper. It would be a good gag gift for a
tool geek, I guess.
