If you saw our article last week (right here) and liked the idea of a pen and straight edge being paired, we’ve got a treat for you. That one kept things portable, while the orangered RulaPen+ is ready to setup shop on your desk or shelf.
orangered RulaPen+: what it is
If you’re someone who uses a ruler (or straight edge) regularly, you probably have a handful of them tucked away in a drawer or pencil cup right now. So, why might you want to consider the orangered RulaPen+? First off, yeah, it’s a ruler, and it has both Imperial and Metric scales on it.
Made of aluminum, this one is kicked up into a wedge that puts things at a 30-degree angle, which should make it a bit easier to read. That angle also then makes a convenient spot to stash a pen, so you’ve always got that writing utensil ready to go, once you’ve grabbed the ruler.
Why we like it
For one, a ruler is a useful tool, and one that’s colorful and doesn’t look like an eyesore if it’s out on your desk? That’s a good thing. The big thing is that pen, though. Having it handy is great, but pens can be tricky. People like different colors of ink, different styles of ink (I like my gel, please), or even different widths of the line it drops.
Well, the pen in the orangered RulaPen+ can handle over 30 different types of refills. This is great because, odds are, you can find one that meets your personal criteria. It also means that you’re not locked into some proprietary refill that could get hard to find down the road. Which means you can keep using this tool for a good long time.
