handy pin straightener--

Need to straighten opins on your CPU?

Easy--just remove the pencil carbon/pen cartridge from your mechanical pencile/ballpoint pen and use the tip of the empty body to straighten those bent pins!

works great every time

Good tip. The ends of mechanical pencils wouldn't have an effect on the system though would it?
