The MetMo Pen takes inspiration from the dual-threaded screw, which was first conceived in 1892. The engineering marvel defies the traditional notion of tightening and loosening faucets or screw bolts. It supports both clockwise and counter-clockwise nuts. The MetMo Pen utilizes the dual-thread screw mechanism to create a fun fidget gadget. The pen's name is short for Metal in Motion. Aptly named, the stationery tool includes three dual-threaded screws for double the fidget fun. As for the pen itself, its unique fidget feature is made possible by its grooved metal body. The writing utensil is equipped with a [Parker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit)-style ink refill system for users to enjoy continuously.
