12-in-1 Fidget Tools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The SPECTA Pen and Ball Combo Boosts Productivity and Relieves Stress

— April 23, 2018 — Art & Design
This is not your ordinary tools for productivity and stress relief—SPECTA is a high-quality writing instrument and fidget device designed to work as one to make daily tasks less stressful and more exciting.

The SPECTA Pen reimagines pen fidgeting with interactive scales. Its near-silent operation keeps distraction at bay and rewards one's senses in a subtle manner. The ballpoint cartridge allows for silky smooth writing while the perfectly concealed stylus delivers a smudge-free experience on mobile devices. To top it off, a beautifully designed stainless steel clip secures the pen inside the pocket and prevents it from rolling off tables.

The SPECTA Ball is a hybrid fidget device and pen stand that packs a punch with some very unique features. Its machined uni-body construction makes it extremely durable. Every inch of space is designed with a purpose. At the top is a ring turn bezel. The underbelly comes with a retractable bottle opener that flicks open like a knife. On one side is a spring-loaded silent button, while the opposite side has a soft silicone knob. There are also two isolated spinners, designed for thumb spin or grip spin. SPECTA Ball users can also insert a hex bit and transform the ball into a screwdriver.

The SPECTA Pen and Ball delivers a unique experience. The use of quality metal followed by precision manufacturing means they are made to last. Both tools come in a range of materials including aluminum, brass or copper.
