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.

Great pen that performs well. Recommended.

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.

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.

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.

While it may seem like a lot to pay for a pen used on a day to day basis it is worth every penny to be able to pick up a device that works every time. No more scribbling back and forth to start the ink flowing if it ever does. The pen, when closed, is very compact.It is in fact about half the size of a regular pen when closed. When open the pen cover goes on the back of the pen to form a full length pen of normal diameter. The pen is very pleasant to the touch, a bit like gun metal though it is in fact a matt finish. The ink is black and very smudge proof. When assembled for use it feels very comfortable in the hand and as if it is in one continuous piece. Closed in it's bullet form it seems fairly indestructible in normal use. Very safe even in trouser pocket or hand bag. The only danger is it is such an attractive writing instrument someone is liable to "accidentally" forget to return it. You just have to get them to buy their own instead, that is what I am doing with my wife though in a different colour just in case she loses hers.

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.

I bought this for my Dad over 10 years ago and he still loves it! Great value considering its longevity, you just need to replace the cartridge once in a while but the ink lasts a long time. Convenient size, fits in your pocket or handbag (I bought one for myself) easily and lightweight. Comfortable to write with, nothing too fancy on that front (but I have terrible handwriting anyway), main thing is that it’s always performed well.

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!

Meinen ersten Fisher Space Pen habe ich vor fast 40 Jahren als Schüler erworben, und erst kürzlich bekam er Risse im Gehäuse, so dass ich nun einen neuen kaufen musste - ich hoffe, er hält wieder so lange. Der Stift schreibt in allen Positionen und auf fast allen Untergründen. Das Wichtigste: Aufgrund seines kleinen Formats lässt er sich gut jederzeit in der Hosen- oder Jackentasche mitnehmen, das geschlossene Kapsel-Gehäuse schützt ihn (und die Taschen perfekt.

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-).
