Fisher Space Pen 400lgcl Middle Black 1pc (S) Ballpoint Pen

I wouldn't be without my Space Pen! In my day-job I do an AWFUL lot of handwriting. Quite often this is in less than desirable conditions - wind, rain, snow, etc. I work in and out doors in Fife, so I get all four seasons well and truly flung at me. This pen will write on wet paper, without tearing holes in it. It will write when the temperature is too low for normal pens. It will even write over greasy spots or marks on the page. The ink is a good solid colour, and the nip runs smoothly. The ink lasts a long time - about the same as any other 'quality' pen refill. However, every inch of that will be good solid writing, with no scribbling about trying to get it to work. You know it's empty when one day, all of a sudden, it just stops. There's no fading out or anything like that. This is good, as you get every last drop out of the barrel, but it means it's a good idea to have a spare to hand. This is a barrel and cap design - the cap comes off and goes on the other end to use - so not ideal if like me you tend to put things down and not pick them back up again. I know there's the old joke about NASA using this, whereas the Russians used a pencil... however, in many situations a pencil is neither desirable nor allowed (the latter in my workplace), so this is useful, even here on terra firma.

I own several of these space pens, so I knew exactly what I was getting into when I purchased this. This model I like especially because it looks absolutely brilliant, and unlike the chrome versions, the brushed chrome is not prone to fingerprints. Writes extremely well, very smooth, and has a great feel in your hand. I had no issues with the clip as others might have had, it just stays in my lab coat pocket. I'm very impressed with the speed at which this product arrived to me. It came a full week before the estimated time, which was a very pleasant surprise. The product came as advertised.

Great pens, I have one without the clip and I have to say that I prefer the clip pen, it is a very smooth writing action and the ink lasts for ages, great size and the added coolness of being used by the Apollo astronauts, now I just gotta get into orbit to try it in zero-g!

Great little pen, doesn't feel bulky in the pocket. Writes really nice (medium tip), not tested at extremes of temperature it is designed for but going by other reviews I'm sure it will perform great. Only small point is when used for writing mode the lid can sometimes slip of the end, this may get better with use and maybe down to being chrome the mat black may not be as slippy.

Great pen, i used to have one around 10 years ago, the titanium version, and someone stole it, GUTTED! so when i seen the Fisher Space Pen on Amazon it was a no-brainer, had to get another one, this time in Chrome with an accompanying clip, its a bargain for all the pen you are getting plus the delivery was quicker than estimated which i was chuffed about.All round a good quality product with excellent service, 5 stars and a hi-5!!!!! boom!

Ordered a few days ago and waited not so patiently for it to arrive. I have retired recently and taken up Bird Watching again. So I ordered a Bird Watchers Note Book and then though I know what will happen, I will forget to take a pen or pencil and it's a bind in the rain to try writing something. So (Space Pen) how delightful is this, small before you fit the lid back onto it very smooth and will write in any conditions (Even the vacuum of space). Easy fit into the pocket. I would have liked a point to attach a string or something to it but still think it is wonderful. :-> Go ahead and buy one you know you want to. Update Nov 2013 Still love this pen. Bought a refill in case it ran out which is still as not done. A tale: Told my grandson then aged 6 that it will work anywhere, in space, under water. He said show me, so we ended up in the bathroom sink with a bit of cardboard under water and me writing his name on it. It worked without a problem. He was well amazed. Still not able to show him it works in space saddly.

I brought this Silver space pen shortly after buying my Rainbow pen and i love them both, they are well worth there money.

Great pen. Feels really nice to write with. Writes on plastic and at all angles. I will change the o-rings when I get a chance though.

Hace lo que se anuncia y bien. Perfecta para el EDC

Must have! Sempre una sicurezza per la scrittura grazie al refil Fischer sotto pressione. Scrittura in ogni condizione e inclinazione. Piccola e leggera. Con il tappo inserito anche di comoda scrittura. Verificato e consigliato

Brutal. Es increíble. Diseño y funcionalidad perfecta

Minimalistyczny świetny produkt. Nic dodać nic ująć. Gorąco polecam.

Sehr guter Stift! Schön kompakt, wenn man ihn in der Tasche hat, ausreichend groß, wenn er zum Schreiben bereit gemacht wird. Durch die Fisher Mine in wirklich allen möglichen und unmöglichen Umständen (Temperatur, Fett aus dem Papier, über Kopf) schreibfähig! Außerdem äußerst hübsches Design und sehr stabil! Volle Empfehlung!
