Fisher Bullet Space Pen - Matte Black

I bought one of these when I was about 12, visiting the Space Science Museum. Inevitably I lost it, though I remember it was the subject of envy from my little group of geeky schoolmates. Anyway, a few years on and I was looking for a good pen that would cope with the abuse of being carted around the highlands and camping, hiking, cycling, accidentally being washed, accidentally falling in ponds, accidentally being hoovered up, etc. It is a great little pen, lasts ages, writes on anything, the cap makes a comfortable length. The ONLY bugbear is no clip which you can buy for a fiver. Shrewd business tactics. Normally I would complain but instead I just marvel at their ingenuity with both pens AND business. Am I a sucker? yes. but also I am a genuinely impressed customer. My dog chewed the latest one and it has little teeth mark scars in it. the cap still fits, the ink still flows... it adds character to it. Buy one and keep it in your pocket for those times when someone searches for a pen. just be sure to get it back.

I haven't had the chance to use this pen in the field, but I tested it in my waterproof notebook (like a child at christmas). At first I put a droplet of water on the paper and the pen wrote through it, then I dunked the paper in water and the pen worked. I dunked the paper for longer and the pen still worked. My 'scientific' experiments concluded this pen is fit for purpose, well worth the money! I also realised the pen is quite small, but when you write, if you put the lid on the back, the pen is very nice to use, fits nicely in the hand.

This is an excellent little pen. It writes very well. It is also comes with a gift box, so it is a perfect gift for all ages. Although it is small - about the size of a man's index finger - it's very well made. If you don't lose it, it should last for years. Never again will you have to worry about the ink drying up like in a cheap biro. Also it comes in very handy when you need to take a note where you don't have a table or something similar to lean on. When you hold a piece of paper against a wall and write on it works perfectly. As others have said, it is small so you have to be careful not to lose it.

The pen came in a nice plastic case, nothing too fancy, but still looked nice. It is significantly smaller than I thought it would be, and I'm not going to lie, that scared me at first. Yet the pen is very easy to use and feels great. If you are looking for a nice pen, I doubt you're going to find much better for the same price.

Great pen that performs well. Recommended.

So I bought this pen on a whim as needed one for work. I've put it through the washing machine and dryer by accident atleast twice a week for a few months, I've dropped it outside, it's snowed, rained, been run over. Thought I lost it but miraculously found it while walking. It's still in pretty much perfect condition apart from a couple nicks from the road. Great pen, will last a lifetime. Would recommend buying a clip for it as it's quite small.

Great little pen that is a good writer. Good ergonomics would not want it smaller as I have larger than average hand size and is just right with the cap on the end. The finish looks like it is hardwearing and will last well as long as care is taken. I would highly recommend this pen.

I got this pen for keeping in my bag when travelling... I read a bunch of review saying that these pens are just amazing and last forever and I understand that they should always work due to the pressurised ink cartridge. My experience, however, was that after only a couple of months of use (I really didn't write that much, i used this for making the odd note) the ink wasn't flowing all that well. It would take a bit of scribbling to get the ink to come out and even then it would be pretty uneven and inconsistent in flow. At the time when I used this I was doing my masters thesis abroad but as i'm an engineering student i don't right a whole lot of notes - I reckon I wrote no more than 4 or 5 A4 pages in the couple of months of use. Not really acceptable for the price of the pen and ink (especially in comparison to the 'Papermate Flexgrip Ultra' pens that i normally use - you can get a pack of these for less than this pen. There are a few positives about it though! It's a really great size and weight for moving around. It's so small but when you take the cap off and put it on the end it makes a good sized pen and it's fairly comfortable to use. It's basically really really convenient and, provided the ink works the way it should, you could stash these all over the place and not need to worry about them drying up in an emergency.

The Fisher Space Pen is a terric tool The pen has a great design, Made of solid brass and nicely machined, it is compact when the cap is on. In use with the cap placed on the back end the pen nicely balanced and is not too short. When capped, the pen is conveniently compact and feel like it disappears in our pantrs pocket. The ingeneous refill is totally sealed and nitrogen gas charged so the pen does not rely on gravity. The ink is also a special ink that is more viscous. The pen does write on wet paper and even under water and when writing with the pen upside down. It does write on many glass surfaces as well. Awesome is that Fisher gives a lifetime guarantee on this awesome pen.

頑丈で、程よい重みがあり、ジーンズのポケットなどに忍ばせておくのにちょうど良い。 宇宙で使われていたのもロマン。

Je possède déjà un stylo identique. On me l'a offert pour mon anniversaire il y a plus de 5 ans. Je l'utilise souvent, je l'adore, petit, compact, très agréable, l'écriture glisse toute seule. Une valeur sûre! J'ai acheté ce stylo pour faire un cadeau à mon ami Jim, un gars en or, l'une des personnes les plus gentil que je connaisse. Ce stylo me semble parfait pour offrir. En passant, un grand Merci au vendeur Marketplace Amazon "Creston". Il n'est pas basé en France, mais la livraison était assurée par Amazon. Reçu en moins de 3 jours, dans les meilleurs conditions possibles! Enchanté!

the courier was super fast. thanks. as usual fisher space pen is real cool.

Lo más importante de este bolígrafo para mí es que, al ser compacto estando cerrado, es fácilmente llevarlo en cualquier bolsillo, en una pequeña agenda, en un porta monedas, así como en otros sitios de reducidas dimensiones que diariamente portes. Es metálico, ligero ( tendrá un peso aproximado al "Parker Jotter" ) y de agradable tacto. Cuando lo abres, es decir, cuando le quitas el capuchón para ponerlo en su parte posterior, tiene las mismas dimensiones que cualquier bolígrafo estándar. Escribe bien, como cualquier bolígrafo normal, no debiéndose esperar de él que escriba como un bolígrafo de gel, una pluma o un rollerball, ya que no es aquí precisamente donde radica sus virtudes. Lo que sí está claro es que escribe desde cualquier ángulo, en temperaturas extremas, bajo algunos líquidos y en varias superficies ( todo ésto no lo hacen el resto de bolígrafos ). Aconsejaría este producto principalmente a personas que desarrollen una actividad laboral que les supongan tener que hacer frecuentes anotaciones en las que para ello deban apoyar sus cuadernos, agendas ... etc, en varios lugares y ángulos ( ejemplo: escribir en una agenda estando apoyada en la pared, sobre el cristal de una ventana .., o bien alguien que deba estar tendido frecuentemente en el suelo y no tenga más remedio que de vez en cuando escribir sobre un cuaderno que no pueda apoyar en sitio alguno, por ejemplo, -existen varias situaciones y momentos que hacen de este bolígrafo que sea una herramienta ideal e imprescindible-).
