http://www.uniquetools.com/pentool.htm
This week we came across an innovative product known as the PenTool. This interesting product
is capable of incorporating several tools such as a philips head screwdriver, hole punch,
tweezers, cutting blade, and various other tools into a pen. This is a great idea for those
of us always looking for a screwdriver or others tools to help with the disassembly of a
computer or hardware device.


The above items as well as other new and innovative services and technologies can be found on
our What's Hip section on our News page at:
