Product Summary:

information, including features and benefits.

Use a pair of pliers to grab the tip of the marker and to pull it out and to flip it and reinsert it
back into the marker.

Product Critique:
How does the marketed item solve or attempt to solve your problem or a similar one? What
are some good and bad attributes of the item? What unique aspect does the product add to
your overall research?

It allows the user to use all of the ink since half of the tip is dry. It’s good because it costs
zero resources to fix it, but it stains the pliers and does not entirely fix the problem. It adds
to the idea of being able to physically fix the issue without needing to use chemicals.

Images/sketches:
Attach images or sketches related to the product that help describe the solution.
