Meet 01, The Pen That Measures With A Surveyor’s Wheel-Like Roller
Most of us don’t carry a measuring tape or even ruler with us even knowing that it will come in handy. But that’s not surprising at all. Though tape measures and rulers are not cumbersome, they are a pain to bring along anyways and also, they are not exactly eye-pleasing and nobody likes a 30-cm ruler sticking out of their bags either. That’s not to mention the way to take measurement is kind of outdated, or at least, that’s what Instrumments thought when they embarked on the journey to discover a new way of measuring and the result is an innovative measuring instrument, simply called 01, that’s the size of a pen while capable of measuring everything from the circumference of your waist to the distance between picture frames to even the height of your kids.

A Squeeze Is All You Need To Start Writing With if… Pen. No Click, No Twist
Tech and style are not the only things this blog look out for. Uniqueness, or on the opposite end of the spectrum, oddity, is also something that intrigues us and such is what the if… Pen (yup, that’s the product’s name) has. But in the case of if… Pen, it is unique. How so? The ballpoint is activated not by your usual click or twisting action, and certainly no need for uncapping; it uses an original and unique mechanism called Single Motion Activation where a squeeze of the pen’s body activates the ballpoint. The squeezing action retracts an integrated cap protecting the ballpoint. So, the ballpoint does not shoot out as one might have imagined. Intriguing, isn’t it?
