Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fisher Space Pen, Bullet Space Pen, Matte Black, Gift Boxed (400B)
Customer Review: No leaks in the pocket - even in 100+ degree heat!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried almost every pen out there, looking for the perfect one for me. Turns out that this is it - At least in my humble opinion. Others have commented extensively about key features like the write-anywhere-anytime ability, smooth-writing, solid feel, ink doesn't smear (even for lefty's like me), made in U.S., reasonably priced, etc. I wholeheartedly agree with all that.
However, my favorite feature isn't mentioned much.
My top reason for loving this pen is that I can (and do) carry it in my pocket always without fear of it ever leaking. There's a rubber o-ring that keeps it sealed. I frequently carry it while working in the 100+ degree summer heat and never had any issues with the pen "exploding" like most others will do in those circumstances.
Customer Review: Disconnect Between Form and Function
Summary: 3 Stars
I've wanted one of these pens for many years and finally decided to purchase one. And why not? It is capable of so many cool things (you know the list)!
It's size is amazing, and due to its sturdy construction, it has little heft to it as well.
Unfortunately, it writes pretty poorly: the ink does not flow well onto the page (I even tried various paper types), and when it does, it often clumps up and leaves smudges, or it trails little webs of viscous ink in between letters and/or words.
I was really hoping that this would become a pen for my everyday carry and use, but I think I'll be returning it: I could handle function without the form, but not vice versa.
If possible, I would've rated this pen's form as 5 stars, and its function as 2.
Customer Review: Best EDC pen ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this pen and I'm already in love with it. When closed, it is small enough to carry in my pocket as an EDC (Every Day Carry) pen and has a very small footprint. When opened and with the cap on top, it is a full length pen and comfortable to write with. Very well thought out design. It can ride upside down or sideways in my pocket and I can pull it out and write with it without having to smack it like I have to do with other pens. If you find yourself needing a pen all the time and do not want to carry a regular pen in your pocket for fear of it breaking and getting ink all over you and your gear, this is the pen to buy and carry.Customer Review: Fantastic pen!
Summary: 4 Stars
The Fisher Bullet Space Pen is a great pen! I love the compact size which makes it easy to carry everywhere, and it writes incredibly smoothly. It is neither too fat or too thin and the ink glides over paper, even if you don't have a hard surface underneath the paper while writing. The only reason I give it a 4 out of 5 is that I ordered two and one writes with deep, dark black ink while the other looks a little faded and doesn't write as smooth. Maybe it was sitting on the shelf for longer or something but it's not quite the same as the other one. I still like it better than any other pen I've owned so no big deal.Customer Review: Great pen. Simple, versatile, reliable.
Summary: 5 Stars
The pen compresses down to a small, unobtrusive package. I've never had a problem with it; it writes no matter what. I've written on wet paper in the field, on the palm of my hand when it's sweaty, even upside down for extended periods. My only potential qualm with it is that it compresses to perhaps too small a package (read "easily lost"). I've owned a few, and at least one is still out in the treeline. However, it's not enough of an issue to take away a star. In the end, it's just a pen, but it's the best I've ever owned.
