You can remove the plastic top from the 701 pen and replace it with the metal top from an old 402 pen if you are having troubles with the plastic part breaking.I've had my pen for 10 years.
Real top quality pen both in functionality and design. One little suggestion, if the plastic ring holding the clip and clicker could be replaced by a stainless steel one you guy's would have the best pen in the world! A happy customer!
Been a fan of the Zebra F-301 for years, although I can feel a tiny amount of flex in the black plastic which always nagged at me a little. Saw the F-701 at the store yesterday and hesitated because of price. But, decided to get one anyway. I love it!!! Several co-workers have commented on it already, and the clip works better on an Army uniform sleeve than the clip on the 301. ;-)
Really nice quality, but heavy. I like it and if course you should expect it to be heavy but I thought it was really nice quality which is why I bought it. I'm not disappointed.
I've been using this pen for several years, love this pen and so does every one of my clients that use it. I've been buying the 1.6 bold pens for years just for the refills. I just ordered a dozen 2 packs of 1.6 bold refills instead of throwing all those pens away. Only complaint is the end cap/clicker is not stainless steel, the plating wears off, looks bad and you have to replace the pen just for that. Other then that the pen would be indestructible. Never had a problem with any refill like I've been reading in others posts. Thanks for a great reasonably priced product. (I sell Mercedes Benz and appreciate well made products)
I buy these as gifts for my friends/family in law enforcement. Unfortunately, it seems most departments are requiring blue ink and the pen doesn't come with that option! I can buy it in black ink and get refills, I suppose, but it would be nice to order in blue right off the bat.
Great pens. I have 2 that I have used for a year on patrol as an officer. One I keep an ink cartridge in and one I have modified a Nintendo DS stylus to fit in the barrel (to use on our touch screen in-car laptops and hald-held touch screen ticket writer. These pens really stand up to constant use and the physical nature of the job. The only problem is I have had to replace them each once due to the locking mechanism deteriorating and not wanting to lock the pen out or retract the pen when clicked.
