The tip/nub and metal click and head from the 4 series and this is a tank. However, it would be (and appears it will be in the future) a 5 star job if those minor tweeks were made. Another suggestion would be a medium point and blue ink option.

I love this pen. It has the weight that I want with a fine point. I am on my second one though because I actually bent the covering where the ballpoint comes out and it wouldn't anymore. Also, I too hate the plastic at the top. The nice thing is that I also have several 402's in my bag. I have found out that you can take the top off the 402 and it fits perfectly on the 701. I now have the SS pen that really gets some complements. As a college professor, I am constantly writing things down. People often ask what pen I am using and where can they get one. My only qualm now is with the refills. I have found that the plastic refills will sometimes quit writing even when they are mostly full. The metal refills have never done this. Thanks Zebra for one of my all time favorite pens.

LOVE THIS PEN. I bought two pens in NJ a few years back and I haven't used another pen since. I travel a lot, especially in the middle east and this little pen has gone everywhere with me. Always does a great job, and has withstood the rigors of the desert. Such a joy to write and sketch with; heavy/strong feel, yet smooth and easy flow on paper. If I could have personally designed my own pen I don't think I would have done any better than this Zebra ballpoint. I get a lot of compliments, and (because of its popularity) I always make everyone aware that it has an owner! I have to agree with the comments above tho, if there were a GEL REFILL (quick drying) option that would be awesome. I hope zebra can shed some light on future refill options.

I like this pen, it looks good and had good heft. I replaced the cartridge with a Fisher blue cartridge and it's fine. However, I question the ""stainless steel"" construction - only the pocket clip attracts a magnet, no other part of the pen does. What's it really made of?

This is a great pen that I use all the time. I am a baker and am constantly around intense heat. This can cause the plastic at the top to be brittle and break. This is sad, since when this happens I still have 99% of a good pen that needs to be trashed. Not good (hence the 4 stars, not 5) Also, it would be nice to have it come with blue ink as an option.

This Pen would get five stars from me if the ink did not skip or all together just stop working. I have put new refills in only to have them stop writing the very next day. This whole concept is spot on. I like that it is a fine line ballpoint with ink, not gel. The ink acts as if it just dries out and begins to clot. Then stops. Please address this issue. Great Product!! ????????????????

I enjoy this pen. I loved it because when I'm in the field doing inspections, I don't have to worry about getting broken because I bump my left side of my chest on construction equipment. Others are constantly braking. I do have an issue, the refill can't seem to fit on the pen. I believe there is something stock at the top, I got the correct refill. I hate to buy another, when the casing is still good. It would be great to know if I can get it fix. Thanks

Excellent pen for the money; I prefer slick streamlined pens such as Parker Jotter and lately am using Zebra f701 which is very comfortable. Would like to see same pen with different colors of plastic ring (near the clip which is only black now) such as blue, red, green to be able to differentiate different ink colors when using more than one f701 pens.
