Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fisher Space Pen, Bullet Space Pen, Matte Black, Gift Boxed (400B)Customer Review: Great Pen, flawed clip. Summary: 4 Stars
In the end, the fisher Bullet space pen's pros really outweigh its few cons.
Pros:
The pen writes very well, smooth and precisely. It lets out a fine stream of ink, making it easy to read and keeping it from bleeding through paper. I tested the pen and found that it really does everything it says; in fact, when my friend stated "any pen can write upside-down", I challenged him to continuously write upside-down with his regular pen. After a few seconds, it stopped working. The space pen kept going.
It's other functions work equally as promised; once, a bottle of water spilled and drenched my entire notebook in water. It was a while before I found it. To my dismay, my notes were illegible, EXCEPT for the notes I had written with my space pen, because the ink remained waterproof.
The pen's size makes it extremely easy to carry around, but because the cover fits on to the back of the pen, it is large enough to be very comfortable when writing. I can throw it in my pocket or my bag and know I'm going to have it when I need it. The matte black finish also keeps the pen from being too slippery and falling out of pockets or bags.
The pen's ink reserve lasts MUCH longer than the average pen, believe me, and you don't have to worry about it bleeding on your clothes.
Cons:
Unfortunately, the pen's design does sacrifice SOME comfort. If you write for long periods of time, your hand might start hurting with this pen. It lacks any padding, gripping surfaces, or ergonomic design. Then again, this pen isn't really meant for long periods of writing.
The clip; please, Fisher, FIX the clip. When you first get the pen, DO NOT trust the clip to stay on. It will easily come off, and if you aren't careful, that could mean losing your space pen. I found that I had to push the clip down the pen's body, until it was at an extremely snug position, literally unable to move. Unfortunately, the metal of the clip left two tiny scratches through the finish from my having to push it down, though they are barely noticeable.
NOTE: However, I would absolutely recommend getting the model WITH the clip. It serves different enhancing functions! It stops the pen from rolling away due to it's round shape, it helps keep the pen up in pockets and bags so that you don't have to go digging for it, and it offers a more comfortable grip. Just remember to really push it down, hard, on the pen body!
I definitely recommend this pen to anyone looking for an everyday pen just to carry around, or anyone with a job/hobby that requires a pen that is easy to carry but needs to work in adverse conditions!
