Tools To Live By Double-Ended Ballpoint Pen

A revival of Yutu's 1966 F220 — the yellow-barrelled two-colour ballpoint that a generation of Taiwanese schoolchildren wrote with.

Tools To Live By made it again with Yutu rather than imitating it, so the barrel colour and the dual-tip format are the originals. Oil-based ink, a colour at each end, and nothing to go wrong. Red and blue, or black and blue.

Trade notes

The heritage story is the product — without it this is a yellow biro, and with it it is a piece of Taiwanese design history at an impulse price. Make sure the 1966 origin is on the shelf edge. Good counter and gift-with-purchase line.
