# Ergonomic Adhesive Dispensers The Glue Pen Makes the Application of Epoxy a More Precise Practice By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-12-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glue-pen References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/12/20/how-about-a-glue-pen/) Many people learn how to hold a pencil properly by the age of five years old, making a design like that of the Glue Pen much more intuitive to grasp and use. This sleek and modern adaptation of the glue gun is a departure from the often awkward shape of the trigger-based craft appliance that tends to topple over, to leak and to strain the wrist. Soon Bok Kang's contemporary creation is shaped much like a marker with a thickset shaft for easy grasping. Its smooth but changing contours allow for better grip and it can be handled in a way that's familiar. The Glue Pen comes with a hi-tech charging stand, sticky "lead" capsules and an impressive cordless design for more freedom in use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ergonomic Design Products:** There is an opportunity to create ergonomic designs for other products that currently cause strain or discomfort to consumers. - **Modernizing Everyday Tools:** There is an opportunity to modernize other everyday tools to make them more intuitive and user-friendly. - **Cordless Appliances:** There is an opportunity to create cordless versions of other household appliances for greater flexibility and ease of use. ### Who This Affects Most - **Craft and DIY:** The craft and DIY industry could benefit from the development of more ergonomic and intuitive tools. - **Office Supplies:** The office supplies industry could benefit from the creation of more comfortable and user-friendly products, such as ergonomic keyboards and mice. - **Home Appliances:** The home appliances industry could benefit from the development of cordless versions of popular appliances, like cordless vacuums or cordless power tools. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ergonomic 3D-Printed Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-pen.md) - [Ergonomic Low-Gravity Stationary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-pen.md) - [Clipping Pen Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clippen.md) - [Dental Instrument-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handwriting-tool.md) - [Clamping Stationery Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peleg-design-clamptape.md) - [Recycled Plastic Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-drop-pencil.md) - [Seamless Silicone Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-pen.md) - [Striking Writing Tool Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith7-desk-pen.md) - [Precision Pen-Like Power Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magicpen-m1.md)
