[Pen/Pencil Review] Kokuyo Beetle Tip Dual Tip Highlighter in Pink & Yellow
It’s been a busy weekend, and today is also busy – so this is a pseudo-rerun. Part of my Christmas haul was the companion piece to a dual tip highlighter I ran in October. The Kokuyo Beetle Tip dual tip highlighter this time in Pink and Yellow.
…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. And the pink and yellow inks are bold for the lighter colors. Because the ink is liquid, there’s some smearing if you highlight over pen ink.
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.
