Handyman Ballpoints

The Screwdriver and Level Pen Lets You Put Your Tool Belt in Your Pocket

— April 20, 2011 — Unique
Why carry around both a screwdriver and level when you can pick up the all-in-one Screwdriver and Level Pen? This sleek brass ballpoint comes with a built-in level and can instantly convert into a philip's or flat-head screwdriver.

Even if you don't consider yourself a handyman, the Screwdriver and Level Pen is definitely a handy tool to have around. Besides allowing you to look like a boss when you sign your name, this pen ensures that you'll always have one of the most commonly needed tools handy at all times. Nobody likes the guy who carries the belt full of tools everywhere he goes, but everyone loves the guy who just happens to have a screwdriver or level handy when called upon. Be that guy.
Trend Themes
1. Multifunctional Pens - There is an opportunity for companies to create pens with a variety of other useful tools built-in, such as tape measures or flashlights.
2. Miniaturized Tools - There is an opportunity for companies to create small, portable tools that can be easily carried in a pocket or purse, like the Screwdriver and Level Pen.
3. Everyday Carry (EDC) Accessories - There is an opportunity for companies to create more items that are convenient to carry on a regular basis, like the Screwdriver and Level Pen, for people who may not want to carry a full toolbox.
Industry Implications
1. Writing Instruments - Companies that specialize in pens and other writing instruments can explore creating multifunctional pens.
2. Tools and Hardware - Companies that specialize in tools and hardware can explore creating miniaturized tools that can easily be carried on a daily basis.
3. Accessories - Companies that specialize in everyday carry (EDC) accessories can explore creating more small, useful items that people can easily carry with them.
