Fisher Space Pen Cap-O-Matic Ballpoint Pen - Matt Black

Great pen, quite thin but writes lovely. Feels well made

I bought this pen a year ago and I still carry it with me everywhere. It's comfortable to hold and pretty strong, I don't think I'd be able to snap it easily as it feels like it's made of metal. It also looks quite nondescript, so although it's more expensive than the average throwaway ballpoint pen, I don't think people would notice unless they recognize it as a Fisher. Maybe that's why mine hasn't been stolen yet, even though I never hesitate to lend people my pens. Other people tend to pocket flasher pens like Parker rather than give them back. I'm writing this review today because I just used it to sign the back of my bankcard. You know those anti-tamper signature strips on the backs of bankcards that are almost impossible to write on? Well, it wasn't entirely easy to write on, but I managed to write something that mostly looked like my signature on it using this pen.

I bought this pen to replace a "twist" to open one I have had for some 10 years, with the Fisher space pen refill, as it had a habit of staying open in my shirt pocket, allowing the ink to run , and mar my shirts ! So I needed to replace with a" push to close" type I like the matt finish of the pen. The barrel is brass metal, but the internals are plastic, and do not have the precision of feel you might expect from a high quality pen. The pen writes very well, and is smooth in operation. I initially found the pen a little short in length , but now I am used to it .Overall I am happy with the pen , and hope it will last as well as my previous space pen.

An excellent and attractive pen and one I use regularly. Having mislaid the ball-point I normally use this provided an ideal substitute.

Looks great and texture is really nice matt black. It's well weighted and writes nicely once you get it going (took a little scribble to start off) and comes in nice box if you're planning to give it as a gift. The pen itself is quite thin so if you have big hands it could be a difficult to write with but for me it's just perfect. Haven't tried writing underwater yet but it certainly works upside down

I've been buying this pen for the guys in my life one at a time & they're enjoying them. With my Dad having to keep track of his work miles in the car & my brother having to lean on windows to write things down in his truck (he's a truck driver), the anti-gravity definitely comes in helpful. I've just bought one for my brother-in-law who runs a business at home & will also be keeping track of his work miles, & other men in my life will be finding helpful too when I buy it for them. The guys absolutely love them & they're really good quality. Plus, the refills are reasonably priced (around £5) & available here on, so no expensive price or hassle when it runs out. Makes a great gift.

This is my second one of these pens. The last one died after several years of me forgetting to take it out of my pocket when I washed my clothes. I work in lots of different harsh environments indoors and outdoors. This pen works well in them all. The refills cost more than your average ones but, they last longer too. Smooth and comfortable to write with.

Great, sturdy pen for anyone that does outside-based work. I bought it for my fiance who is soon to start police training, however, he has already found so much use for it in the month he's had it. Now he carries it everywhere and has been great when paired with a waterproof notebook. I was worried about the price and whether it was worth the money, but can say with full honesty that it is one of the best investments I've made in a while.

Ich bin schon Besitzer eines 40 Jahre alten AG7. Den hatte ich mit bei der Bundeswehr und ich muss sagen, der schreibt immer . Es gab kein Material, auf dem der nicht geschrieben hat, bei jedem Wetter. Leider hat er am Schaft wo die Verschraubung ist einen Riss bekommen. Jetzt kommt der Clou: Lebenslange Garantie! Gegoogelt und es gibt weltweit Vertragspartner. Habe den für Deutschland angerufen und man fragte mich nach dem Modell. AG7 sagte ich. Kein Problem, schicken sie und den defekten SpacePen und sie erhalten einen Neuen!!! Zuvor hatte ich mir aber schon den Space Pen M4 Gap O Matic hier gekauft. Der ist schlicht und gut verarbeitet. Aber der Knackpunkt ist: Der schreibt, wenn man ihn braucht. IMMER, solange die Mine voll ist. So Sätze wie: Booo Ey, der Sche..... Kuli schreibt wieder nicht, gibt es nicht mehr. Normal sollte man sie 10 Stück davon kaufen und überall einen liegen haben. So, viel Spaß damit

Not so good

Es lo que promete, lo principal es que tiene buena escritura en muchas superficies y condiciones, su estilo es elegante por lo simple y la tonalidad de negro, el único pequeño detalle es que a veces se atora la punta de la carga cuando lo pulsas pero con un pequeño empujon se soluciona.

Bolígrafo para uso diario, no es de lujo pero cumple con las expectativas.(No lleva identificación alguna ?) Buena calidad y funcionalidad, pulsador suave, ligero y totalmente metálico. Viene en caja de cartón, pero bien presentado. Sólo lo he utilizado un par de días y me ha sorprendido lo bien que escribe en cualquier ángulo, incluso hacia arriba. No sé lo que durará el cartucho de tinta, son caros. Pero si quieres algo exclusivo este es tu "boli".

This is the fourth Fisher product that I have purchased. These pens are the greatest. They perform under any condition. This particular model is very well made. I particularly appreciate the deployment mechanism for speed and ease. The refill can be operated with one hand. I highly recommend this product.
