Welcome to Monday and blog post day. I totally bailed on last Wednesday. I’m staring down the barrel of another convention - this one being a comic book convention in Tyler - there’s been a great many things going on. But… it’s Monday.
This week is a newish thing…
Kokuyo Beetle Tip dual tip highlighter in green and purple. You can use one or the other sides - or you can play a double line. It’s kind of fun. But it’s a highlighter, there’s not a lot new you can say about highlighters…but the dual tip lets you do different things.
This Kokuyo Beetle Tip dual highlighter is 5.2″ long with the highlighter capped and 6.2″ long with the cap posted. It’s a bit wide for the hand - because there are TWO inks in the barrels, and there are no ergonomics, but it’s a cool little tool and not too expensive.
The numbers:
1. How does it work? - 0.5 It’s decent. There are ways that can mess up. You can get green in your purple and purple in your green
2. Grip and feel - 0.5 - This is no frills plastic. It’s a bit wide to be completely comfortable and it’s a simple tube. There are no ergonomics.
3. Material - 1 It’s a no frills plastic with a purpose.
4. Overall Design - 1 - It’s a cool looking, fun tool. You have options for what you need to highlight.
5. Price Point - 1 - It’s pretty affordable.
It’s $2.25 on JetPens. It’s fun, useful, and not an unreasonable investment.
