Detect And Discover Unknown Wireless signals with the Auto Detective LED Pen

Our sincere apologies for the quality of the image but the moment we saw this Auto Detective Pen, which will warm of unknown wireless signals by lighting up, thanks to an integral LED, we just knew that we had to offer a brief heads up here, simply because of the absurdity of it all.

There are, of course, many ways you can check an area for wireless signals so quite why anyone would want a pen that lights up when it detects such signals is quite beyond us unless you just happen to be a wannabe spy with an unsecured wireless connection who happens to be into pens (and we’re sure that such people do indeed exist, somewhere).

Interestingly, not only will this Auto Detective Pen detect wireless connections but it will also assist you in the location said suspicious devices – as long as they are within a somewhat limited 10 meter range – by increasing the intensity of the flash the closer you get to the device it’s picking up, right up until you realise that its your signal its picked up on (again).

If you’re looking for a great, cheap gift for the office nerd who generally thinks he’s a geek (and there is a vast difference between the two) then this will undoubtedly keep him occupied for hours much in the same way as would a piece of paper with PTO written on both sides.

The Auto Detective Pen retails for $15.97 with staggered discounts for bulk purchases.

That said, we’d rather just forget this pen altogether and opt instead for the previously featured, rather cool animated Wireless Signal Detecting T-Shirt (thanks for reminding us about this, Fred – much appreciated).
