Ever thought about kick starting a project? Well that’s just what Josh Wilson has done with the Tech Force Pen & ruler sleeve.
This creative project has been brought to fruition through Kickstarter, which is apparently the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects. Backers make their pledges & if the funding goal is reached what began as a dream of an idea can become a reality.
This particular invention is a substantial cover & sleeve which has been designed for Pilot Hi-Tec C Ink Cartridge refills, its supplied with a small dime screw to enable insertion. The casing around the pen slips seamlessly into the sleeve which doubles as a ruler & is engraved with both metric & imperial markers.
Josh is a design enthusiast who appreciates the fact that some of the best ideas are often simple (that said, this project has taken around a year from conception which is no mean feat in my book!) This creation has a stylish minimalist design, it has a 10mm diameter, is 129mm long, weighted in the middle & approximately 28g.
The funding threshold has been exceeded & production is impending. These pens & rulers will made from solid aluminium & be available with a brushed or anodised black finish. All that remains to say is Good Luck Josh!
Brian, shoot me an email, would you? Like to talk to you about this. tony AT tigerpens.co. uk
you should do a follow up story on what happens when you do a kickstarter, get $14K and then deliver a ‘pen’ almost a year late that doesnt meet any of the specs and then you stop responding to the angry comments.
