I would give it a 5 star if you had a gel refill for the F-701. It's been my every day carry for 5 years and I've been ""hacking"" another companies refill.

It's a great pen to have! One of the best that I have bought so far BUT now I am unable to unscrew it in order to refill it. Please let me know what's the best way possible since I already bought the refill. THANKS!!!

I have all three F-301, F-401 and F-701. These are the best writing pens I have ever owned. They are all built to last and refills are readily available. I never have an issue with these except having to ask for them back when loaned to a customer to sign something. They always want to keep them. Thanks for a great product!!!!!!!!

I work in a very big, very busy hospital, and this pen has always been my go-to; I never leave home without it. Being (almost) all steel it's easy to disinfect, has some weight to it which is really useful for flicking bubbles out of syringes, IV tubing etc, and tends to hold up very well overall. However, it does have one major flaw in the plastic ring around the top. Accidentally drop it at the right angle, and boom, the plastic cracks, all the pieces come shooting out all over the floor, and your pen is done. As a result, I've been through three or four of these in the last year. It's such a shame that an otherwise perfect pen has such a fixable flaw like this. Were it not for that plastic ring, it would easily get a 5/5.

I am using both the pen and pencil at the community college I am studying at. They are very durable and take the rigors of being on the go. Since normal plastic bodied ones have the tendency to break in my pocket. I recommend both!

Posted by: Sal,
The pen is great for the exception of the black plastic ring at the top around the actuator. That piece just broke as the clip got caught on the lip of the top pocket it was in as I took it out to use it! Now the pen is useless. I agree with the review just prior to this one! The all metal piece holding the clip on the F-402 should be on this pen. I am not sure that I would buy another one as I feel like it will happen again. Please fix this issue and I will buy a bunch and rate it a 5!!!!

It writes excellent, has a great look, and feels great in the hand. The knurled barrel is just fabulous!! This is a 5 star pen, however, I rate 4 stars because of a cosmetic issue and an ink cartridge issue. The pen has a black plastic ring which surrounds the actuator, also the actuator is plastic with a metal sleeve over it. This makes the pen look cheap on the back and not high-end like I think they were going for here. Had Zebra incorporated the same parts they have on the F-402 instead (which are metal parts) the pen would be a true all metal body pen. Also, it only comes in Fine point and I prefer medium point ball points. Hopefully some day I will be able to give this one 5 stars.
