Tiny pencils (about 1/8" thick)

They look like 3mm thick...
Hard to tell, but looks like they're actually just shy on an 8th
3mm matches better
Crazy small
the unit is also superior in other regards, such as beeing understandable without an internet search to people outside the US
Thanks, I edited the title to say "about". I'll use a caliper when I get a chance.
Hahaha, nice, what do they weigh?
I usually bring one of those bic crystal pens, the cap is really nice to clean my finger nails too. I have used the cap also for other stuff which somehow i don't remember what it was now. They apparently weigh 5.8g, but I only bring a half full one to save some ;)
Based on math I'd guess about 0.5g each, but I haven't weighed them. Of course they'd be lighter if cut to 55mm or so, to fit in a match case or Altoids tin (front to back direction). They're about 80mm long as is.
