Ballpoint with embedded Stylus

[ClutchCargo]

A friend of mine at work showed me a cheap ballpoint with some advertising on the side of it. It was one of those inexpensive marketing pens that companies give away. The interesting part about it, however, was that it was a click pen that had a stylus at the ballpoint tip end, and when you clicked the pen, the ballpoint came straight out through a small hole in the center of the stylus. Nice feature. You didn't have to invert the pen to switch between using it as a pen and a stylus. Has anyone ever seen such pens kits available for those of us who'd like to try turning them? Thanks.

The store I have some pens at showed me the same thing...along with the scratched Ipad they use as a register. The stylus rubber was very weak and easy to hit the ballpoint when using. They are tossing it out.

Oh, great! Thanks for the firsthand warning! I guess that's a great idea that lost a lot in the translation (manufacturing).
