I ordered 5 of these pens from your website. They are NOT all metal. The interior where the tip screws into the barrel is still plastic. Only the exterior is now all metal. I have written 2 other reviews which you fail to display on this page. Wonder why...
greetings, i use an fxmd, which is very good, with a fisher refill. can someone please explain what is the difference between the fxmd and the 701 all metal? thanks, eyeger
The pens I just received were not all metal. The outside was all metal but the interior of the pen is still plastic (specifically were the tip screws into the barrel.
The pens (5) I received were not ""all metal inside & out"". The OUTSIDE was all metal but the INSIDE was still plastic (specifically the inside of the barrel where the tip screws in). Disappointed since the pen's description on the blister pack indicates ""All metal! Inside & out"". Basically the same as the old version but no plastic on the outside clicker area.
These pens look and feel premium. I first saw this type of pen when someone at a car dealership handed me one to sign with. After that day I bought 2 of them. One right away wrote like a dream and the other one writes as if it was running out of ink. The one that works well has gotten some miles on it and the alloy of the tip of the pen is painted silver ... its chipped away noticably and is more a brassy color in spots. The clip and springs wear with time but aren't too hard to bend back into shape. Other pens by then would have made it to the recycle bin but not this one. Would recommend but buy multiple because some write better than others.
