Amazing Multi-Functional Products

The 2–in–1 Invention

The feeling of coming up with a genius product idea to help solve a problem is always amazing to any inventor. However, a real jackpot for inventors is to create a multi-functional product that acts as a 2-in-1 product for consumers. A 2-in-1 invention can be described as a product that can do different or multiple things to help the convenience and efficiency of a user.

If you find yourself encountering a problem in which multiple steps need to be taken for the problem to be solved, inventing a product that can simplify these steps and solve the problem quicker is the perfect opportunity to create a 2-in-1 invention. Need some inspiration? We’ve listed some of the best 2-in-1 inventions on the market!

A Multi Functional Product Made for Avocados

A popular fruit, the avocado is notorious for being used in many ways to make for the perfect snack. Over bread or as a dip, the avocado is sure to be found in almost any household. However, if there’s one thing that most avocado fans can agree on, the process of cutting open, scooping and preparing avocado can be long and tedious.

Luckily, the Avo Shark is a handy 2-in-1 invention that acts as a knife, pitter, scooper and smasher for avocados. This multi-functional product is the perfect product for saving time, convenience and efficiency when preparing any avocado dish!

A Multi-Functional Water Bottle Invention

One successful MAKO-designed product, the Festken water bottle, is a great example of a 2-in-1 invention. If you frequent music festivals, outdoor events, or concerts, this handy water bottle is the best multi-functional product to have on you!

Not only does this product act as an easy-to-carry water bottle, but it also lights up! With both of these functionalities, you’ll never have to carry both water bottles or light sticks and have it all in one product. The finger holes on the side of the bottle make it easy to have on hand, saving the product from falling or getting lost in crowds (even more so with the built-in light and fun neon design).

The Best 2-in-1 Invention for the Kitchen

If you have a small kitchen, it’s imperative that you find as many ways as possible to save space – especially if you share a space with multiple people! An inconvenience that a lot of people find with kitchen spaces and cooking is having to take multiple steps to do one thing, such as washing fruits and vegetables and moving them from place to place to prepare.

With the Dexas Over the Sink Strainer Board, you can now have the room to prepare your food all in one area and as conveniently as possible! This 2-in-1 invention works by simply placing the board over your sink and putting the strainer on the side of the board. Then, you are free to wash, strain, and cut your food all at once! This multi-functional product not only saves time and convenience but creates more room for your kitchen, making it the perfect product for small living spaces.

The Ultimate Multi-Functional Product That Fits Right in Your Wallet

A great 2-in-1 invention that fits right in your wallet is the Wallet Ninja. This multi-functional product is capable of doing 18 different things! Some of its functions include working as an eyeglass screwdriver, ruler, nail puller, letter opener, can and bottle opener, fruit peeler, a screwdriver that works for multiple different kinds of screws and bolts, and a cell phone, among other capabilities!

If you work with many tools as an engineer or designer, this would be the perfect item to keep on hand or to use as an amazing gift for any handyman!
