Consumable
In the context, a screwdriver is not a consumable, you don't expect to throw it away after very few uses, whereas a screwdriver tip, maybe used in an electric screwdriver, could well be a consumable since it is replaced when worn rather than repaired (re-ground) and the electric screwdriver is retained. A printer is not considered a consumable, whereas an ink cartridge is. Otherwise, everything that is used (can wear) is a consumable. Minipinion (talk) 13:59, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
