Some ergonomic office tools

1 June 2009

The good folks at OXO®, who for years have made the Good Grips line of household tools (I love my OXO salad spinner!) have expanded into the office tools market. It’s pretty cool.

Available exclusively at Stapes, the OXO Good Grips line of office tools includes some real innovation. The collection was created (according to Staples’ website) “to make everyday work tasks easier, more efficient and more pleasant.”

More than just cushy handles (though there’s nothing wrong with cushy handles, particularly in a stapler), this line includes a very cool push-pin dispenser that has a magnetic telescoping wand in the center, attached to the lid. When you open the lid, out come a few push pins with it. No more digging around trying to grab push pins (and risking getting poked). The push pins themselves, eight of which come with the dispenser, are non-slip and soft. And they’re contoured. And they come in pretty, non-primary colors.

The tape dispenser doesn’t require you to laboriously insert the center tape holder into the middle of the roll of tape. Instead, there’s a trap door on the side that allows you to slide the tape roll inside and out.

The edge of the clipboard is contoured (and soft) so if you hold it to your waist, it doesn’t dig in. That’s genius!

And it comes with a built-in pen holder:

The line is more than tools, it also includes binder clips with soft handles, easy-to-handle push pins, retractable pens and markers and much more.

Next time I need a new stapler, hole punch, or other office staple (forgive the pun) this line will be the first place I look.
