Hello jets I want to make a request from you guys that in Pakistan the delivery of these beautiful pens marker's gel pens roller ball etc are not possible from Jetpens please make the delivery in Pakistan.I love these stationary and want to have just one but delivery is the problem if you read this msg that was too much for me thanks if you guys read this msg 😊
what would be cooler is if we could combine these into one multi tool, like the office multi tool from the 80s
JetPens -- Really appreciate the honesty of not making every product. I like knowing its shortcomings as well. :)
This is why I really like the Japanese stationery scene. Every element has been incorporated so thoughtfully to things that most people take for granted.
I swear that you can't get good stationary supplies in American stores.
@@nBasedAce You can, but they're so boring. Just blister packs of ticonderoga #2 pencils or pink pearl erasers. You can still get some stuff from like pentel or zebra, but japanese stationery stores are where it's really at.
@@Fr0stbite1801 pentel n zebra r japanese brands lol. bic has some pretty good multi color pens but theyre made in japan loll.
Lol rest of the world simply use MS office 360, Japanese stuck in 60s
@@ElonHusky may i ask how did you come with this conclusion sir. your brain is interesting
I like the “stapler” without staples… saves a step and makes it even easier to recycle papers.
Only issue with it is that once you separate the pages, it'll be difficult to put them back together and now you have to make another hole next to the other big hole if you want to staple them again.
@@Vyz3r I mean, if you're gonna be separating papers then you're probably not gonna staple them normally, it'd be better to use a paperclip or even a binder clip, depending on how many papers you have
@@rydergolde3169 Have you never experienced times when you or somebody else needed to remove staples to fix/copy a paper and then staple them again? As someone who worked in an administration office, this is quite common. A stapler like this would not be use after the few times because it ruins the papers.
@@Vyz3r no that's fair enough, I didn't consider needing to make copies after smth was stapled.. ig I'm just still a bit used to papers in school having the diagonal mark from where it was folded over for copying
@@Vyz3r There are stapless stamplers that don't make such a gigantic hole and are made for easier separation if the papers need to be separated. it's like 0,5 cm line, so it's not all that visible and if you reapply, it's still fine. it's also kinda possible to reapply it on the same spot but it's less strong of a hold when you do so.
i don't like the stapler shown in this video at all. it's such a big hole. would be way better making that manually, with smaller slit.
those rulers would have been great back when i was in geometry class, i had alot of dificulty to draw neatly and precisly and to see the milimeters in the rulers
Back then I had a set that was clear plastic and they didn't stand a chance getting carried around in my backpack. Pieces started chipping off and they eventually shattered. I always worry when I see clear plastic rulers like that.
4:40 its not just about eco-friendliness, but also about not clogging the shredder, so you save the headache of HAVING to remove the staple.
I have that black Midori ruler and you forgot to mention one important thing that caught me by surprise when I got it. When you open the ruler, one of the sides has a 15 cm mini ruler that doesn’t have the gap. So it measures 15 cm from the very edge of the ruler. It is very very useful.
As an engineer, I’d just like to say there’s no such thing as “over engineered.”
Edit; TLDR; JUICERO. Period.
As a passerby, imo, over engineering happens when mundane everyday things that can be operated directly by hand needed extensive and complex AI and wiring system, specific software that only works for it, needs firewall, link to other electronic devices, WiFi, personal ID, and/or battery power or electric source to work, can only do one thing and one thing only, can't be used with pirated accompanying products, and exclusive/special branding, that leads to the insane price hike only rich and idle people can afford. Stupidest example that ever exist for this is, Juicero. You can't deny this one.
@@MollyHJohns I would just describe this as poorly engineered
@@realleon2328 that thing isn't poorly engineered at all. It works fine, but it's too fussy and too costly to make despite the nice design and okay function. Thus, it is over engineered imo.
@Molly H. Johns the fact that it is so fussy and overly complicated is exactly what makes the design poor. A well engineered item is something that's easy to use and reliably functional
@@realleon2328 okay I accept. Then it is both overly AND poorly engineered thing. Fits both description no matter how you look at it.
I didn’t even know that stapler without staples existed! It blew my mind 🤯 definitely over engineered but amazing. That bookmark is good too. I need one like that for my Apica CD Premium Notebook ❤ thanks for another great video!
Edit: Thanks for all the likes! 😊
My parents had a page pinner like that when I was a child, seventy years ago. It replaced straight pins that were used before staples.
@@frankbass7561 wow! That’s crazy that long ago. But I had never seen one before. Or knew they existed.
We used to do that to bind pages together by hand in grade school. Fold the corner of a stack of pages. Tear a notch in the middle of the fold, and bend it the other way. It didn't have the fancy arrow and tuck that this thing does, but there's only so much you can do when tearing by hand.
I have used a stapleless stapler for years. Mine does not put holes in the paper, but still keeps them together
@@robertheinkel6225 that sounds neat! Never heard of them before. Or seen one.
I don’t NEED any of these items, but now that I’ve watched this video I WANT several of them, especially the clipboard. Jet Pens is my candy store!
Although some of these tools are limited in their capability, the ingenuity is impressive. I remember waaaay back in grade school our teacher showed us how to bend a few pages at the corner and manually tear a small strip of the sheets back the other way, which was a form of staple-less stapling. I didn't even know they had a tool for the same purpose.
I first learned that tick back in 1962 when I first started work and still use to day.
We called it “dog eared”
I can say the staple-less stapler for me has been game changing. My mini staplers failed repeatedly & I need it multiple times a day. This thing is great I just don’t know what to do with all the staples now I’ll never use!
Gift them to colleagues.
I’m so glad there are people out there who gets my adoration for Japanese office supplies. They’re so well thought out and constructed so perfectly.
I have the Midori Multi Rulers, both the clear plastic one and the aluminum one. Let me tell you, it’s the best thing ever. It takes up very little real estate, so they’re perfect for keeping on your desk or carrying!
I am a huge fan of all things Japan and I have an unhealthy love of office supplies. Finally, the two have been combined.
I love the idea of a stapler without staples, and the magnetic clipboard looks really convenient.
Yes. Good choices. Mine too.
I have used the magflap clipboard on the factory floor at work, attaching it to steel plate on a machine while taking notes.
Extremely convenient!
I’ve had the Midori Multi Ruler for a couple of years. I use it often as a ruler and as a protractor, but I never thought of using the holes to draw arcs. Thanks for the tip!
Came outta my mechanics class and god I can’t explain how wonderful it is to see your videos after a somewhat exhausting class. For my birthday I know what I’m splurging on
happy early(?) birthday man! hope your mech class goes well too 💪🏻
@@AKei1412 oh thank you haha! Yea it’s been good I’m currently doing an annual check on a Cessna 152 thank you again :))
I've got that Kokuyo Harinacs stapler at my office. It's really useful for keeping documents together and not having to worry about the shredder
Of all the JetPen amazing offerings- the Best invention is the staples stapler!!! Everyone needs one and it is a guarenteed winner! Not only do you not have to worry about refilling staples- the creative way the tool locks your papers together is simply genius!!
I have the Sun-Star Stickyle Pen-Style Stapler and LOVE it. For several years I did administrative work out of a tote bag in a remote location. It was so useful to have a real stapler that was the size of a pen or pencil.
The multi ruler might come in handy for creating guidelines for calligraphy practice. The stapleless stapler is next on the list for me since I find myself handling lot of papers from printed itineraries these days (I'm a tour guide), it seem more eco friendly and hazard free (corrosion is a real thing if you live in high humidity climate). Lastly, I really dig the voice of the narrator, sorry I don't know your name.
That Midori Multi-Ruler looks wonderful!!
all the rulers seem like super useful to have! i also think the stapleless stapler is great, i had heard of it before. The clipboard is also so simple yet so effective!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I'm including some of this stuff in my next order!
I used the Midori bendable ruler. Loved it and it's quite space saving. And the sticky notes stack is also great, especially if you are annotating a book.
Stapleless stapler definitely put me in awe! That's definitely an invention I didn't know I needed when it comes to filing but needing to throw them away after an X amount of years
The ruler that uses the constrast between colors instead of drawn lines is super cool; there is no margin of error, it's ultimate precision
the multi ruler with wholes are so useful, back in elementery and middle school, we used to each own a set of geometrical rullers, protractors and compases, this ruller is all in one and without the maintenance.
I purchased the king jim clipboard recently and it is the best designed clipboard I've ever used. Worth every penny!
How's the texture of the material if you only put one sheet directly on it to write? I always have to put more sheets behind the page I'm writing on because of materials having textures.
@@XSemperIdem5 It feels smooth and flat while writing. It does make more 'noise' than if you have pages underneath. Of course, the type of paper used makes a significant difference.
Sorry but, my dumb self just misread "King Jim" as "Kim Jong-un".
Can we just talk about how nice the style of these videos is?
The way I had a nerdgasm looking at all this clever stationaries 😩💕 I want it alllll
The clipboard is so cool! And I like the protractor ruler too!
40 seconds in and I'm already sold! So cool!!
Even watching these is already satisfying. Must remember to visit a stationery store when I go to Japan
the accurate switching pattern for the markings and the -staple- r are great
I am an office supply nerd….love these!
I have this stapler and I love it! Makes recycling so much easier. My coworkers also loved it lol They would knock on my office and ask to use the stapler
I love kokuyo. They really know what they bring to the market.
Multi purpose, compact, thoughtful.
This is awesome! *Not over-engineered, but engineered RIGHT!*
japan is a heaven for retrofuturism.
in this digital age we rarely require these supplies (at leat I dont) but japan has the all necessary supplies with higher functionality.
Why? Why?! I don't go to school anymore! Why do they bring out such cool stuff that I can't use at school anymore!!!! 🥲Anyway, everything they do is incredible!! I hope to buy soon and use it at home just as a hobby! 😊
When I was in the behavioral hospital, they used that staple-less stapler for the packets they would hand out so the patients couldn’t get their hands on sharp staples. It’s pretty smart
the clipboard is definitely overengineered, but it is an absolute thing of beauty.
all is good, neat and nice, and i can add lot more in sensible consumer needs.
The first time I saw the staple-less stapler, I was so amazed. You don't need those metal thingies around plus no need to remove them. I had to find one in a stationery shop. Bought something similar to the sticky notes style markers as well. I love the design and quality of Japanese stationery and supplies.
All is functional and very thoughtful
Computer Engineering student here, the staple less stapler and the magnetic clipboard are more than favourites to me. I used to have a cheapo mag clipboard and thet thing was a life saver.
I love over -engineered!! I love the Magflap!! Stationary needs more magnets!!
Very interesting! Rulers are usually not marked from the very end because the edges tend to fray and get damaged.I used a steel Japanese ruler for many, many years, and eventually, it too wore out, and I had to start measuring from the 1 cm mark
I have both the Midori folding rulers. They’re truly amazing.
The magnetic clipboard is cute...
I had an antique version of the "staple-less stapler" from the early 1900's (it was metal and had a desk stand).
Love them!!!!! Really blew my mind.
Loved them all🎉, so clever… maybe the rulers won me over!
Magflap and staple-less stapler are cool. Kokuyo ruler is good. The other rulers have moving parts made out of plastic. Moving parts + plastic = breaks quickly. I don't have much use for bookmarks or sticky notes.
I have ZERO need for a clipboard in my life, but I LOVE IT!!!
Wait I have one of these! I bought it like 4 years ago and it has proved really useful
the magnetic clipboard is AMAZING
All great!!!! A BIG thumbs up.
Wow. Things like these are a dream for many
Each every product is an engineering marvel no doubt
I was given one of the fold & tuck staples by my former d-i-l (Japanese) a few years ago. It works great and I just ordered a second one.
I loved the ruler / conveyor, it's excelent
Want all the rulers.. they all appeal to my love of well engineered products.
Very ingenious and ergonomic designs.
that multi tasking ruler is amazing
Love the "stapler" and also the clipboard.
That “air” stapler wow I am so getting one on my next order!
The stapleless stapler is outclass !
The Midori Ruler. I have no use for it, but somehow I think I need it. :) I adore Japanese office supplies!
That sticky note card looks great!
I already have quite a specialty ruler collection, and it looks like it'll be getting bigger soon!
I always had dreamed of stapling without the actual staples. Finally Japanese achieved it, brilliant!
I like the stapleless stapler and the protactoruler.
Not really something I'd use for work, but for personal art use.
I have the swivel ruler. Thanks very much I didn’t know it did all THAT.
Everybody needs that stapless stapler. That thing seems revolutionary
that clipboard looks really slick!
I've always been a sucker for office supplies. Maybe I should move to Japan.
The clipboard seems to be so easy to work with and so amazing
The rulers and that stapler are great. Also the mag clipboard.
Love the Magflap clipboard!
The Stapleless Stapler is a very practical one; I had a much cheaper one that was given out freely at some conference, and used it for years until the sharp edge dulled too much and couldn't punch through paper anymore. It was a novelty of the time, but I got good mileage out of the cheap one I got for free. I should consider the Japanese version for smaller paper sets.
As for the Protractor Ruler, I recall those being half-gimmick half-functional items sold in the early 00s as school supplies. I had one similar, but the issue with it was that it didn't have a smooth straight-edge; having a curved dip where both ends meet when straightened out. It also didn't protract very well, since it slid pretty loosely. The Japanese version fixes all the issues with the basic one I had except for the arcs, which the version I had did a great job of doing (but in inches).
This is the best channel 🙌
very good might purchase thank u for the video have a good day
I thought, ok I’ll watch it but don’t think there’s anything I need. Wrong! I need each and every single thing in the video!! 😂
You haven’t swayed me. I will ALWAYS buy staples again.
OMG I’m in stationery heaven!
Superb stuff
That White stapler !!! I WANT !!!! ❤❤❤
The Kim Jim clipboard 📋 is so underrated. It's unbelievably useful and handy. 👍👍👍👍
The True Measure Ruler. Gotta have it.
The tru-measure ruler and the stapleless stapler are the most useful items here. Everything else is unecessary or a hassle, with the possible exception of the highly portable stapler
The gap at the start end of the ruler is for accuracy since the end is easily damaged and can affect the first measurement from zero .
Make sense for japanese stationary to be over engineered because to these very day, paper works are still a very common way for them to do work with while many countries already streamlined alot of their process digitally.
The stapleless stapler is rad!
I've heard of stapleless staplers and it's nice to see them in action
I hope the clipboard has a hard surface cause I'm interested
I love these videos 😅
4:12 Also came from the Harinacs series, the SLN-MPH105 is even better that it does not penetrate the papers but just bind them together on the edge.
Wow. I'd like to have them all!
That clipboard is badass.
