You hold the center of one of the gears and spin the rest of the fidget. You can also roll it across a desk or move the chains around the gears in the palm of your hand
Inhalation of dust, mist, or fumes containing beryllium can cause chronic beryllium disease, which restricts the exchange of oxygen between the lungs and the bloodstream. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists beryllium as a Group 1 human carcinogen. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) also lists beryllium as a carcinogen. Copper beryllium alloy containing less than 2.5% beryllium (in copper) is not designated as a carcinogen.
As Peppycito said, they don’t make sparks, which is important if you’re working somewhere that could have explosive fumes. The lanyard is traditional for sailors’ tools to prevent loss as well as dropping it on someone below. Mostly decorative now but it’s convenient to be able to let go of the tool if you need both hands for something.
I use a notebook to write down tasks, to-do’s, lists ie grocery, material or supplies for those tasks. I’ll also write ideas or crude sketches. The other day I was waiting for carry out with my niece and we played dots to pass the time.
Most of the time it isn’t anything special. I don’t journal(I’ve tried) or write down philosophical things(I haven’t tried). Just basic daily things.
Thanks! It’s the Everyman Grafton Mini Twist. I like it except for how slippery it is. They released a matte model that has a textured finish. I would recommend trying that one over the original.
It takes Parker style refills and I currently use Ohto PG-105NP.
They are designed for motorcycles but this is what I used commuting on my bike. One outer pocket, an inner flap and the rest is open space. Expensive, but nice
Don’t overthink it, look at classic Jansport bags. I’d gone through so many different backpack companies looking for a decent, reasonably priced backpack that wasn’t bogged down with useless shit but still had some organization for my daily carry stuff. I commute to work on the train and have to bring tools, not to mention some odds and ends for sporadic use, rain gear. So I got a bigger one, but it sounds like you could go with the medium size and you’d be right as rain.
It seems like bags these days are really pieces of shit, or they’re these super involved and stupidly expensive bags that are just entirely unnecessary. I’m glad I got a Jansport again. I just wish I had thought of it before I tried like four others that sucked.
That’s my problem. The bags that I see that look like they would meet my needs are really basic and cheap looking. Like the fabric would tear in the first week of use. I need to carry my work uniform, a BT speaker, 2 Contigo bottles and maybe have room for some other random stuff. I just need to throw it all in a single compartment and go. I only have to carry it as far as the car, toss it on the back seat and then carry into work from the parking lot. Don’t need chest and waist straps, don’t care how thick the padding is in the shoulder straps, don’t care if it’s waterproof, it will never hold my laptop, don’t need all the useless bells and whistles that seem to be so popular these days.
Definitely Jansport. They have the classic bags that don’t even have the laptop sleeve against the backpad inside the large pocket. Although I found use for that pocket to store my book, so I can always find it quickly and it doesn’t get ripped.
I have the classic Jansport, just broke it out again after my swissgear laptop bag started giving up the ghost. Can’t believe I stopped using it lol, it’s lovely.
Right?! Jansport served me so well my entire childhood. And then I just totally forgot about it when I wanted a “basic-normal looking” backpack that was simple and made sense. Long live Jansport.
Maxpedition has a “Prepared Citizen” line that is basically a Jansport design with very durable fabric like military packs use. Not everyone’s taste but a cool idea imo
@TheFriar@DeepChill As a generally low-income person who recently spent hundreds on a backpack I will defend expensive products lol. To me, if it uses recycled materials, fair trade labour, and the design is something innovative and thoughtful, it's worth it.
You do pay more for features. I got the WANDRD PRVKE which has a divided main compartment with 3 access points, a handful of hidden pockets, weatherproofing, a very structured and padded harness system and more, because that's what I like
Fair enough. OP seems like they really don’t need much more than something simple, though. That looks like a great utility backpack for specialized needs and a technical job with many little pieces for specific gear. It looks great, and it’s one of those backpacks that I always imagine I’d really enjoy, but I’m disorganized and like quick access to a big pouch and nothing else. I have a few Klein pouches I keep more specialized categories of smaller stuff in, and I think that’s as good as my organization gets. That bag looks great for professional camera stuff or something.
I’m not sure if this is too military for you but Savotta Jääkäri S seems to match your description for the most part.
There’s one big pocket, smaller on in the inside of the lid and a separator for drink bladder that also functions as laptop pocket but doesn’t take away any space if you choose not to use it.
I don’t mind the military look of that one at all. I just browsed the site and found an even more basic one that caught my eye. I’m assuming you have a bag from this company? The material is pretty good? It looks like it should be pretty durable considering their target demographic.
Varusteleka is a Finnish military surplus store. They have their own “Särmä” product line aswell but other than that they’re just a retailer. Savotta, however - the manufacturer of the backpack I linked, is a very well known and highly appreciated Finnish military/hiking gear manufacturer that makes gear for the Finnish Defence Forces aswell. Their quality is absolutely top notch. I have both, Jääkäri S and Jääkäri L backpacks among their other gear aswell.
What comes to that specific online store; the descriptions actually are honest. If the product is shit it says so in the description. I’ve seen examples of that before and especially the Finnish descriptions are sometimes hilarious. I’ve bought a ton of stuff from there and everything has met or exceed my expectations.
Edit: You’re probably talking about the 202 LJK Daypack. It’ll last two lifetimes.
Oh, ok. I like the pic with the bag full of rocks. I’m not that hard on the equipment but it’s nice to know the materials are that strong… if it’s not just marketing wank.
Most of the backpacks I think of all have a laptop compartment. The only two that come to mind that don’t are Jansport and Fjallraven. I don’t have any experience with either but I know they’ve been around for years(decades).
I've had a canvas Jansport for almost 30 years, I carried it for 3 years in middle school and it's been a hiking backpack since. If they're still made the same and you get a cloth one instead of those plastic character backpacks then it should last forever.
I recently got a Jansport after years of kind of forgetting about them, having used them for decades at school. Still great quality, exactly what I needed. So glad with the purchase. Best purchase I’ve made for my work in a long time.
I got one of those, and it was like a black hole for my shit. Every time I needed something, I had to empty the entire bag. I sold it after like a couple weeks of use.
Based on OPs description, I think the black hole vibe is what they were going for. It filled a particular niche for me too, since it’s such a simple waterproof design and a blank slate to use my own organization and mix of other bags or pouches.
