Zebra Pen F-301 Compact Ballpoint Black Ink Fine Point 0.7mm Pen, Easy-Glide Ink, Stainless Steel Retractable, Non-Slip Grip, Converts from Full Size to Pocket Size, 2-Pack (27412)

Why use a cheap crappy pen when you can own two of these for under $7.00. A very solid , well made pen that writes smoothly and is comfortable to use. I love the compact size and the great fit of the lower pen portion onto the stainless steel cap. A pretty good fidget factor also. I would highly recommend and already have bought a couple of more.

Great pens. They are great to keep in your pocket. My son is in the Army and he has one at all times.

I've used Pilot F-301 full-size pens for years, and have found them very reliable and somewhat elegant, considering their inexpensive price (like the metal barrels, most others are just plastic). This compact version is pretty cool, looks almost the same, uses the same refills, and writes just as well, as a result. It appears the cap will stay in place, too, as it has a firm click in the closed position, and a sizeable portion of the barrel slides inside the cap, when you are using it, so it won't fall-off. I actually wanted a keychain pen, which I had before, but turned-out to be cheap and unreliable (stopped writing and the 2 refills I had didn't work either). I looked for a better one of similar design, but according to most of the reviews I saw, they're all pretty much crap, so went with this name-brand clip pen instead, as I know their refills always work. It's the perfect size to fit in the small change pocket of my jeans, which is what I wanted, as I often don't wear shirts with pockets and standard size pens are a hassle to carry, in that case. I've found it will fit snugly, diagonally in that pocket, if you don't use the clip. This also will help keep the clip from breaking-off, due to overuse. You get 2 pens in the pack, too, for a great price, so you have a back-up.

I really like these pens but they had a problem that the cover wouldn't stay on the end. I fixed that by putting a strip of cellophane tape to make th end just a touch bigger and give more resistance as it should have been. The last one I started using appears to have resolved that problem. They're a nice full sized pen that are nice to use and smooth writing. Zebra is a great pen. They fold down to a nice small size and open to full size. I carry one daily.

I like em, I have several. Sometimes I leave them as gifts !

Great, compact size pen, writes fine black ink. I wanted to have a more versatile pen by using fisher space pen cartridge. The ballpoint end is a bit thicker and did not fit right away. I did some trimming of the screw cup to make it fit and it’s perfect now. Compact size when in a pocket and full size pen when you write. With fisher space pen refill it’s versatile and not likely to leak ink in your pocket and will write in various conditions. Being zebra pen is also great as it has pocket clip - less likely to get lost or “infinitely borrowed” and if it does not a big deal as it’s budget friendly.

My favorite pen of all time! It is compact. It has a sturdy metal clip. And it opens up into a full size pen. Simply perfect.

These pens write smooth and I am very picky on my pens. The small size makes them fit in the front pocket of my jeans when working.

Lovely compact pen, always have one with me, write well.

I had this pen before, then I decided to buy another for a friend. It’s useful and compact for the pocket

Estava buscando uma caneta portátil e de boa qualidade, essa aqui é uma q atende esses requisitos.

Its small enough for my kids to take with them on travels. They love it. Smooth writing and drawing.

Has been a comfortable everyday carry pocket pen for several weeks so far. The clip is easy to bend back to put onto something and springs back into place as expected. Keychain/lanyard hole is very convenient for putting onto my keyring with a bit of string. I was able to make this compatable with Fisher refills using a 2.5mM drill; out of the packaging the hole is just a fraction of a milimeter too small for one to fit through.
