The little JetPens mascot hiding away at 8:20 was too cute I had to rewatch 5 times lol

Love the human element for these videos :) the faces, the outtakes, ... makes stationery and pens feel less sterile and office, and more fun!

Have you seen these hacks floating around (possibly on 5 Minute Crafts ;) )? Are there any other hacks you want us to debunk? Let us know in the comments!

[@lewparn83839]

5 minute crafts make weird life hacks that make no sense

[@lewparn83839]

@Amn Ha thanks they made a video like sneaking food on a plane like it is illegal. It is completely legal to do that

[@authoreyes101]

Yaaaas!!!! My exact life dream!!!

[@Theshakingfist]

When we were little in Mexico, we would use the pencil sharpener to get to the last part of the pencil eraser. It will give you like 1/3 of the eraser back. And nope, we didn't use electricity sharpeners, it was public school and we were broke. Just a regular sharpener.

[@MM-jf1me]

I'm having trouble picturing this. Did you use the pencil sharpener to cut off the metal band to reach more of the eraser?

[@maureenp2248]

@M M yes

[@MM-jf1me]

@@maureenp2248 Interesting. I wouldn't think pencil sharpeners could cut through the metal, but I've also never tried to cut through the metal before; it must be weaker than I've always assumed.

[@sunbunny5838]

Wow, this brings back memories :-)

[@PrettyH8Mach1n3]

Yes! The metal is soft like tin so you can use scissors to peel some of it away too.

[@euphony5552]

I love Josh's delivery it's so dry while delivering brilliant lines.

Hey JetPens, can he do like every of your KZbin videos now? Btw actual stationery channel roasting 5 minute crafts is absolute gold. Please do more of these.

[@urfavyanaaa]

yessss! I love it when you guys upload these things!

[@tbdlater5690]

I've used the lighter trick as a student many decades ago now. It worked a few times. I stopped doing it when the ball shot out the end of a ballpoint and I now had an ink mess.

[@saraigna1589]

I honestly liked this video more than your usual videos because he's so fun and wholesome. I especially loved the irony and the part where he knew that the chart will cover his face. Amazing video.

[@amandalyons8016]

I loved this video! Cheered me up ready for the weekend, would love to see more fun videos like this! ❤️

Nice one. Please make more such videos. These are fun to watch, bring a new vibe to your Jet Pens videos, and are useful for the fans. Thanks for this one.

[@guylainemorinstudio7869]

I love this video ! Josh is so funny without doing too much. Very fun and instructive to watch.

[@samuellee3507]

Really great video! Light and comic, while still being informative! Great one there Josh and team!

[@icyppl]

About the sticky note hack... You can actually clean mechanical keyboards with them in a similar way. Just turn the sticky note so that the side with adhesive goes in between the keys and you can slide it around like you slide your finger on a brick wall! Like if you've slid your fingers on a wall while walking or at school....

[@HelpIveBeenShot]

The last time I tried to use a lighter to fix a dried ballpoint: the brass tip assembly burst out of the barrel of the refill, and sprayed a 6-foot long oily blue streak across my office. So your mileage may vary, but heatguns, hairdryers etc. are definitely much easier to control.

[@funkytime69]

I almost experienced cardiac arrest when he set the pen on fire

[@sophisticat147]

Haha this is a great video! Love the presentation and humour, please make more like this!

[@hugom196]

I came to KZbin specifically to tell you guys I adored Josh and want him to create his own YT channel talking about stationery (or whataver!) - and found out I'm definitely not the only one! Josh, make another video soon!

[@joschloss1]

You are awesome! Hilarious and I loved both the style of debunking and your expressions. Also loved the bloopers!

[@debbienelson2060]

Really like the video. Josh is so funny! 🤣Hope to see him making more videos.

Great video, Josh, the videographer. Great presentation and debunked hacks. It's good to know these. I'd like to see more of the same videos. 👍🏻

[@hotcoffeewarmpages2913]

I love everything about this video. Especially the "latter" vs. "former." Just, an all-around masterpiece. Well done, guys 👏 And I used to do the sticky note keyboard thing at work!

This series is so much fun!! Please do moreee

[@Rachael5435]

Josh, you are hilarious and so endearing! Please make more videos!! Oh, and the "hacks" were cool to watch, too!

[@deniselinscott1035]

LOOOOVE JETPENS! Thanks for a great video! And that you show all the funny mistakes at the end :) made my day :)

[@MLD.Ltd.]

5:15 the sticky note as keyboard cleaning tool is used better with traditional mechanical keyboards, like the ones you pair with a desktop rather than the ones comes with laptops (which are designed to prevent dusts and fluids to penetrate by the seams). Works about the same as flip it and tilt it to be a 30degree angle to the table surface and lightly tap on the back of the keyboard.... (except the sticky note method does get random longer strands of hairs in between the keyboards out)

[@Angayasse]

That was so hilarious :D love jet pen videos but from now on I even love them more :):)

[@pohyokelo]

We need more Josh on this channel!!

[@lorijsp8813]

Great idea about using a hair dryer or heat tool to get “dry” pens flowing again! And I’m papercrafter, so I *do* have a heat tool! 👍🏼

[@paillette2010]

Test ALL of them!! Love this guy!!

[@blackypawz2990]

I don't even know who came up with most of these "hacks", and think it was a good idea to name them a "hack", but hey, I love how Josh explains everything with his humour. ♡♡

Love this video!! Josh is awesome!! Please feature him more often!! ❤️❤️

Great video! Pretty please what is the acrylic organizer in the bookcase in the background??? I've been looking and can't seem to find one like it!

Thanks josh! I enjoyed you and this video. More Josh!

[@TracyLammonsPlans]

Ok, #3 surprised me! The outtakes were hilarious, thanks for the laughs 😂🤣🙃

[@natmickan]

The sticky note keyboard hack works super well for regular keyboards; you’re meant to insert the sticky note all the way down between the keys so it picks the crud up off the bottom tray-like part

[@317susan]

Please more videos by this guy---funny & informative!

[@avaeverything7784]

The lemon trick works with sharpie ink pretty well

[@wobeejoe]

This was awesome! I love Josh! More Josh!

[@irisailin-pyzik1213]

A while back (maybe quite a while back) there was some info available about which pens, especially multi-pens, would accept refills from another manufacturer. For the multis, sometimes you had to trim off a bit of the plastic at the back, or use the colored slide part that you were replacing, in the new refill. So if you like the Zebra multi-pen, but wanted to put a Coleto refill into it, for a specific color or point size.

[@juliepannullo7818]

That cut was just so satisfying :) I am an ASMR fan. SO satisfying.

[@psychoshrink166]

"Welcome back"! Please let that be a reference to Tingting Asmr

[@angieemm]

This gave me a much-needed laugh today! Thank you! Also, do you know what font is used on the chart at the end?

[@Miyawakiss]

The bloopers gave me enough energy to get through work! (Yes, I'm watching this at work cos..... JetPens.) Josh is so cute and funny, he revived my dead soul lmao

[@BenjaminVaterlaus]

this was awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@james_7718]

Josh is so delightful! I look forward to more videos! ☀️

[@dezopenguin9649]

Okay, but this was really fun in a "slow buildup" kind of way. The first hack was about what I expected: "This doesn't work, but hey, we sell the actual product that does this thing the right way." The second one was the same...but you called yourself out on the product placement. But the third hack...plot twist! It actually worked! (And by the way, a little product placement for the items used in the hack, which was surprisingly funny.) And then for the remaining hacks, the product placement just went away outright. And then outtakes!

[@monicadahlin]

What a great video! More Josh in jetpens videos👍

[@idunno7916]

Great videooo! It's really helpful! Can I just suggest regarding the refills on binders (such as A4 sizes), hacks on how to print your own notebook grids, lines, dotted, etc. Using msword or other free applications? Because I think It's more convenient and less expensive if we do it on our own. Thank youuu! I hope you do more videosssss
