Zebra Pen, X-701 Tactical Ballpoint Pen, Writes in Extreme Conditions, Matte Black Stainless Steel, Refillable, Lanyard Loop, 0.7mm Black Ink, 1-Pack Plus 2 Bonus Refills, (29811)

I’m a (value) pen fanatic. I have bought hundreds of pens. I was a big fan of Zebra for many years but I strayed because I started to see some ink quality issues that seemed like more than a fluke. After years of reliable performance from the brand, I was seeing refills that didn’t work at all, worked a very short time and A LOT of skipping. This pen may bring me back into the Zebra fold. If you want performance in the absolute harshest conditions, your best bet is Fisher or Rite In The Rain. They are great for many things but, of course, there are tradeoffs. I think this pen is THE NEXT BEST THING for harsh conditions. What’s more, it has all the advantages of a good, normal pen with none of the disadvantages of those “extreme” performers. This pen can sit, unused, for 3 months in a freezing van in the middle of the winter or a broiling van in the middle of the summer and you can pick it up and watch it immediately write perfectly. No skipping, no early ink failures (so far). It does write on less than optimal surfaces that would be problematic for normal pens. Does it perform in conditions as extreme as a Fisher or RITR? No, but it is significantly better performing than pretty much any other pen, including other “extreme” pens I’ve used. And, I find that it does the job 99.99% of the time for essentially the same cost as a normal “nice” pen. This guy is perfect for the typical pen user in adverse conditions. It has performed excellently and has yet to let me down. It even has me giving Zebra another look after abandoning my fanboy status years ago.

Great feel, smooth writing, the only complaint is if you don not close it between use the ink will gather on the tip, aside from that I would buy again and again.

Pros: 1. Longest I've ever hung onto the same pen with daily use 2. Durable 3. Ink lasts a really long time 4. Writes in fairly tough conditions 5. It's a click pen!!! 6. Can attach to a lanyard so you always have it readily available! Cons: 1. Today, the tip of the pen is just ... Gone? It was on there yesterday. 2. No soft grip. Metal isn't as comfortable as other pens 3. Ink becomes a little lighter in below freezing conditions outdoors, but still more legible then other pens in extreme cold. Summary: I got tired of losing my good click pens at work, so I decided to spring for a pen that I could attach to my lanyard. Attaching it has provided two benefits - first, I still have the same pen, which is a miracle since I ordered it October 1st!! Second, it is very handy on my lanyard. I can write what I need for work in many situations without even detaching it, and even after six months of use, I still haven't needed to use one of the included refills yet. The reason it only gets four stars is because somehow between yesterday and this morning, the metal tip fell out and is now missing. It didn't seem loose at all yesterday when I used it. The other thing is that it's not super comfortable to write with. The grip area could use a softer material, even if just a hard plastic, to increase writing comfort. Still, even with those nitpicks it's a solid pen, and I definitely recommend it to people tired of losing their pens at work all the time. Well worth the price!!

Good weight, satisfying click, and the ink didn't skip. I really liked this pen but I ended up losing it... It felt like it would have lasted a long time though.

This pen is very comfortable to hold thanks to its textured stainless steel grip, which prevents slipping even during long writing sessions. It writes smoothly and consistently with no skipping or interruptions. The ink dries quickly, which helps prevent smearing, even for left-handed users. The pressurized refill works well in all conditions and the pen feels balanced and durable. It’s easy to carry and use every day, and the sleek matte black finish adds to its professional look. Overall, excellent quality and great value for anyone needing a dependable pen..

I’ve owned and used the Zebra X-701 Tactical Ballpoint Pen for about six months, using it regularly at work three nights a week. Out of the box, my first impressions were positive. The pen looks great - matte black with a tactical, rugged design - and it writes very smoothly. It’s comfortable to hold and has performed reliably during regular use. However, durability is where this pen falls short. Despite normal, everyday use, the black finish has worn off significantly. At this point, a significant amount of the coating is gone, which is disappointing for a pen marketed as “tactical” and durable. I’ve included photos to show the extent of the wear. Functionally, the pen still works well, but the premature finish wear undermines the overall quality and appearance. If aesthetics and long-term durability matter to you, this is something to consider before purchasing

I love these. I am a mechanic and carry it in my pocket. Fairly durable with the only negative being the plastic in the center of the pen. I used it to pop the tape on a box and broke my first one after carrying it for around 5 years. Not it's intended use but I had forgot my knife. Buy the refills and it will last you a long time unless somebody steals it.

Love this Pen. It is higher priced than normal pens, but way lower priced than Tactical Pens. This thing will write overhead or upside down all day long. On the Farm in super hot summer days, it performs perfectly. When it's 0° it performs excellent. It has Everything that an 80$ Tactical pen has, stainless steel barrel and tip, perfect diameter, and no, it definitely will not have a problem in defense. A tac pen may look more dangerous, but they have nothing on this Zebra. You get 2 refills that makes this pen last years. Try one, you'll love it!!

胸ポケットにボールペンを入れて、頻繁に出し入れするので、いろいろなものを試している。 書き心地は普通のボールペンよりちょっと良いくらいだけど、ペン先にインクが溜まりにくく、ドバっとインクが出ることはない。 クリップ部もちょうど良いバネでスムーズに出し入れでき、抜け落ちることもない。 丈夫なボディには安心感がある。

This pen is very nice, it's smooth, writes good, has a good feel and rugged. I bought it based off the reviews, I have a lot of zebras pens and my fave is the stainless steel one, this one is a close second the one thing I would change is maybe put a knurled grip on the x701 and make it a bit more heavier, I prefer heavier pens and I love the knurled grip, if they did that I would buy 100 of them however as it sits i might buy another, I might not. The biggest thing I would say to change is the cheap feeling plastic grip make that knurled metal and you'd have a grand slam of a pen.

Der Zebra PEN X701 Tactical stand schon sehr lange auf meiner Wunschliste, nun habe ich ihn seit ca. 1 Woche in der Hosentasche dabei und möchte ein kurzes Feedback geben. Der Mechanismus zum Miene ein/ausfahren ist sehr leichtgängig und angenehm zu drücken. Der Stift schreibt direkt und sauber. Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt ist, dass direkt zwei Ersatzmienen mitgeliefert werden. Optisch finde ich den Stift auch sehr ansprechend. Was mir absolut nicht gefällt ist, dass bereits nach wenigen Tagen in der Hosentasche tragen der Lack abgeht. Da habe ich von einem „tactical“ Pen mehr erwartet. Vorallem weil in der Produktbeschreibung steht dass die Lackierung verbessert wurde um ein absplittern zu verhindern. Das schränkt natürlich die Funktion in keinster Weise ein. Ich würde den Stift nur noch einmal kaufen wenn ich wüsste dass der Lack besser hält, vorallem für den doch nicht ganz billigen Preis von knapp 30€

Después de 1 año con esta pluma estas son mis conclusiones: PROS -Si deseas una pluma resistente, que no chorrea, escribe bien y aguanta el uso rudo (traerla en la bolsa del pantalón, en una mochila, en una chamarra o solapa) esta pluma es para ti. No es por completo de metal pero lo suficiente para ser resistente. -Si deseas una pluma "táctica", como posible opción para defensa personal, esto NO es para ti. No es suficientemente resistente. CONTRAS -Repuestos: no hay, no existen, nadie tiene. Si escribes mucho se te va a terminar a los dos meses y vas a tener que comprar otra. Busqué repuestos con el proveedor directamente y con varios distribuidores y nada. -Precio: sin repuestos disponibles, no es un precio competitivo. Es mejor comprar plumas desechables en lugar de estar gastando cada mes o dos en esta pluma. CONCLUSIONES: excelente calidad y durabilidad. Que no haya repuestos la vuelve una mala opción. Una lástima.

Bom produto
