'MAGNETIPS' Fineliner Pens Offer Precision Results in a Fun Manner

Packed with neodymium magnets, the 'MAGNETIPS' will stick firmly together whenever grouped in pairs of two or more. This enables them to be used for vibrant art projects in a different way, stored all-together so there's never the problem of a lost pen or even used as toys when not in use.

The 'MAGNETIPS' fineliner pens feature refillable cartridges inside, which means they can be used over and over without having to discard the entire unit for a more comprehensive experience. 'MAGNETIPS' are currently funding on Kickstarter where the brand has already surpassed the funding goal set.
