That is so cool! I need one. Our staple remover at work is a dull brown and is named Stanley.
It has a nice fat led that is very difficult to break so I go through led very slowly. The fat body factor is comfortable to hold on to. The one I’m using right now is close to 20 years old so the mechanics are basically invincible.
Agreed
Palomino Blackwing pencils—any of them. Also the Stabilo Sensor Fineliner (0.3) No smudge, so good for this lefty. Kinda like a Sharpie, but higher quality. Also the late, lamented Execugel by Pilot with the G2 ink
Ooh, real toss up between a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen and a small Bienfang sketch pad. The Metropolitan - reliable, solid enough to feel good in hand, yet inexpensive. A great fountain pen for beginners who are curious but don’t want to spend a huge wad o’ dough on a pen they might not like. Its only competition for “best entry level fountain pen” is the Lamy Safari.
My daily carry pen is a Lamy Studio, but as that’s a bit more expensive, I don’t really classify it as an “office supply” the way I would a Safari or a Metropolitan. Great pen, but fountain pens don’t write wonderfully well on cheap notebook paper. So my work notebook, for doodles and to-do lists and such, is a Bienfang 5.5" x 8.5" sketchbook. Makes scribbling a reminder to get dog food on the way home feel like calligraphy.
I discovered the Pilot Varsity disposible fountain pen in one job 13 years ago and I was in love 
!
I left that job a few years later but could buy them at Staples.
Just realized, I should clarify. I meant the Tot Stapler, of course.
But, would you really buy dozens of those for your office instead of the basic Pilot G1/G2 or Sakura Gelly Roll? I haven’t touched a Pilot Varsity in so long my memory is hazy, but I recall it being rather scratchy and unpleasant.
One can get fountain-pen ink that works at least tolerably well on even the cheapest paper, but the last place I worked in that had actual bottles of ink in the supply closet just had some Quink or Sheaffer or something similarly bog-standard. Also, people were not usually writing on flimsy napkins 
I was all set for an evening of trying to pick my favorite pencil (for mechanical, I decided on the teeny Zebra Techo TS-3, 0.5mm; for wooden, the Blackwing 602)…
But then I remembered the first present I opened every birthday as a kid: a ream of copier paper. So white, and so blank, it just had to filled with imaginative doodles.
Now I try to find HP Premium Color inkjet Paper on sale… it’s 28lb, Bright White, and will even hold a clean Sharpie line (no spreading, no bleed-through).
I like the unalterable Signo pen. It makes me happy to sign with it and write checks. Yes, I still have to write checks in my business occasionally.
This is me too! I still doodle on any scrap of paper that slips by me.
You wouldn’t happen to work at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin?
I remember those. But the most fun thing was threading a tape round all the rollers. 
No! It just felt right. Our tape dispenser is Harry after Houdini because it will vanish for a few days every now and then then reappear and my purple and silver stapler is Herbert. I spend most of my night by myself. Naming inanimate objects is a natural consequence.
I believe I have heard of your tape dispenser before.
Paper - just ordinary, bright-white, 80gsm A4 printer/copier paper.
I love drawing on it.
With my Pilot G-2 
This thread should be renamed “What’s your favorite writing implement?” (I still love my binder clips!)
My husband literally changed my life with a gift of an adding machine.
Details? Something just doesn’t add up.
In my office, I had an adding machine and something that was sort of like a microfiche reader. (I’ve forgotten the exact term.) They were on opposite sides of the room, both had to be plugged in, and neither could be moved. I had to scribble down several four- or five-digit numbers from the reader, hurry across the room, and add them up. This would go on for hours. It was incredibly tedious, and I had to double check the numbers, too.
Then my husband bought me a battery-operated adding machine, with a tape so I could print things out. Cut the time I needed to get everything done in half. Much less overtime.
