When I write I must have my yellow legal pads and the perfcet pencil: low friction, strong lead and great eraser. For my inspections I use a tablet and a stylus that must work when it's cold, damp, dusty, upside down, and with gloves on. It also must stay connected to my tablet while climbing on roofs, crawling under the house and hanging out in my back pocket. The tip must not wear out while I'm on a job. It's got to have some mass to it so I can control it with my ham hands. I've spent about $100 trying out different kinds of styluses and finally found the right match. Take a look at this beauty! The long tether even has an innovative plastic spring which avoids knots and tangles. Click on image for link.
