Paint quality kills a good idea
on November 28, 2021
Posted by: Christopher V.
I like that this pen is all metal, except for the clicker cap. However, I put it in my pocket in the parking lot of the store I bought it, I was so excited about the pen. But after driving home and pulling it out, it is missing substantial amounts of the pen. If I had known this would happen, I would purchased another of my usual pens, the F701. I feel kind of cheated, to be honest. This isn't a matte coating; just a bad, cheap paint job on a lighter, more expensive version of a lesser pen.

Disappointed
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: Judd
Disappointed. I break plastic pens at work (factory job, sometimes physical). Riding in my front pocket they usually do not last a week. I found a F-701 at a local drug store for a decent price and love it, there is not question about its durability. So when I saw the flash sale I made an impulse buy, thought I was upgrading, should have read the reviews. The tip might be metal, I thought it was plastic but some of the paint has started to chip reveling shinny metal underneath. The grip is plastic not metal and screws into the top portion just like a cheap plastic pen. The upper portion is a very thin metal (chipping, shinny underneath) with a plastic liner. The clip is metal (chipping, shinny) but the rest is plastic. It does not inspire confidence. Has not broken, yet...

Ehh...not mad, just disappointed
on October 14, 2021

I absolutely love the F-701 all metal retractable pen. I had high hopes when reading about this one. Although the pen writes very well, I was disappointed in the weight of it, the barrel feels plastic. Also, the paint/coating started coming off of it after only a few days, that was very disappointing. Can't say I won't buy it again, but I may wait until maybe some upgrades happen ü§û...one of my students liked it so much they ""borrowed"" it and forgot to tell me or bring it back!

Not as Advertised

It's a good pressured ball point pen, it's just that it was advertised as steel and the barrel to tip is Nylon plastic. A little disappointing. Shipping was quick.

This pen is really durable, like the way it rights, and I would recommend it. There is nothing that I dislike about it.

Nice pen, just a little light
on September 17, 2021
Posted by: Barry
It is a nice pen. I like the beefiness of the gripping area, and the ink writes well. My only disappointment is the weight. It is very light. I was hoping for something a little weightier like the G450, G750, or F701. It is not a fragile pen by any means! but it's size makes it feel hollow. Outside of that I like the grip, and it writes well, and feels good in my larger hand!

Very disappointed! None of my finer refills fit this pen and it feels plastic. Really looks like a waste of my money.

Paint peels
on August 11, 2021
Posted by: Gabriel
The Pen writes in low temperatures as advertised, its solid and feels good to hold. The reason it got 2 stars? less than a week after owning it the black paint is peeling all over for no reason at all. Makes it useless for my job unfortunately and pretty disappointing.
