Slingshot Writing Utensils

The CataPencil Lets You Take Notes and Fling Objects

Bart Simpson and Dennis the Menace would surely endorse the CataPencil (if you're too young to understand the Dennis the Menace reference, I envy you). Now you can write and draw away with the world's most popular writing utensil, and when you're bored or handling a bully, you can use the trusty slingshot on the back end of the pencil.

The CataPencil isn't only your best tool against fear-inducing figures, it's also eco-friendly as it's made from real tree branches. Pick up a CataPencil for yourself and prove to the world why the pen(cil) is truly mightier than the sword.
