    Vim makes one of those seats that you can poop in😂 the seat has a lid and you can put plastic bags inside to catch your turds. But good luck finding a plastic shopping bag that wont leak if you happen to get any residual #1 with your #2

    Those pop up seat options are nice. I use them all the time as a mobile mechanic. There is a version that fits into this small table that folds up with it inside. They are a pair made to fit into eachother. Its super portable and very light. The table folds out into a small short table and the seat pops up, and you get a little portable work station. They have versions that support up to 500lbs, so there are some heavy duty versions out there available.

    Some of the fuses have notches on the blades, that allow you to use a fuse to pull a fuse. Place one blade on each side of the old blown fuse, twist and pull.

    As a carpenter, the main drawback of mechanical carpenter pencils is the fragility of lead and how they don't really survive rough service (ie. the tool belt or bag). However, the carbon fiber reinforcement you mentioned might improve this. I personally use a wood pencil called the Tri-Rex. It has a squared triangular shape, but a thick round lead that can be knife sharpened (as almost all carpenters do) to a precise point that is much harder to achieve on the big flat style carpenter pencil. Since all of my fellow carpenters beg/steal these from me, I know they're preferred, especially for finish carpentry where precision is important. Just my 2 cents, but that mechanical pencil you showed seemed great other than the lead being quite hard by the light quality of the mark.

    Ive got one of these pop up chairs from a company here in Australia, and they primarily make camping gear, so the one i got has a lid that opens so you can put a plastic bag inside and use it as a toilet as well. While its at home in between trips its a drink table next to the couch. Ive never used the toilet part of it but the idea is cool. Might even use it as a camp rubbish bin

    The guys would always laugh at me for carrying my seat around with me but my knees are past their prime and working in the telecom industry kneeling on the wet ground with live 49 vdc sometimes up to 110 vdc made for a jolting experience, especially when you add ringing voltage. My buddy got one of those seats and it only lasted a few months. I just picked up a bucket with a lid, and not one of those blue or orange play buckets they sell at the hardware stores. Those ones work for a bit maybe a bit more for the little guys. They end up slowly collapsing leaving you on the ground. My seat was a 5 gallon paint pail which is made to hold up being banged around and not leave a trail of paint. Plus I could store extra supplies I need for the job inside. That knife pencil seemed like the lead was a but too hard to give nice dark marks, it looked like it was cutting into the wood. Why does it need to be breakaway? Wouldn’t you just wear it down and then advance another section?

    Same issues with thoes expandable stools they all crashed on me if there is a good 9ne I'd buy it. I currently use a az folding garden bench the side fold in 60 to 90 bucks. That works great to get the tool bag off the ground mini table and a seat. There fairly small too I think you'll like one if you try a golding garden bench stool. No shame on the laptop holder if it helps you make money it's worth it within reason. The sharpdraw has a model that has wood on the outside of it feel good better than that cheap plastic.
