The alien under the Fisher Bullet Pens

Appearance:
Those who prefer colorful, this is really like Space Pen. In the picture he sees already all right, but held in the hand, this Bullet Pen true eye-candy is (glossy / glossy, bright colors).

In contrast to the blue, red and lime-colored end Bullet Pens concealed from the envelope nib is Silver with this model NOT, but has - fortunately - the same rainbow coloring as the outer shell, leaving the pen, well-quality and "consistent "appear, as his aforementioned brothers.

On the high-gloss lacquer one sees fingerprints, however, very quickly, the only small optical flaw.

The Bullet Pen is significantly smaller and narrower than I thought. He has put together in about the length and the diameter of a pencil Ikea, but is of course more difficult.

Due to its small size, its extremely smooth and shimmering in all colors coloring this pin affects me somehow like an exotic, poisonous insect. For this, I would smooth 6 star.

By contrast, the package in which the Bullet Pen is delivered, gray, small, inconspicuous and cardboard, so that these wallflowers packaging stands for pens itself in stark contrast - and as a gift is not really what makes her. Here are clearly only the intrinsic values, not the packaging.

Feel:
In total the surface of the pen is pleasantly smooth as glazed metal. If the cap is plugged back, there is a slim and very pleasant to the touch pens in normal size. Where forefinger and thumb holding the pen, the area is like a ring flute for discreet, comfortable and secure grip.

As for the writing feeling, I thought with all the reviews that I've read through before it can be extremely gentle write / soft with this pen. I expected to get a soft and sliding writer who behaves similarly like a good rollerball.

This is clearly not the case. Not even for a ball he is exceptionally soft, and as I said extremely hard, if one compares it with the beautiful soft writing feel a rollerball. In this regard, so please do not make the mistake and think that you'll get a pen that could keep up with the writing experience of a rollerball.

Compared to his peers, so in other pens, he writes very reliable, without smearing, but nowhere near soo soft as it is touted in many reviews. To put it in a nutshell: the writing feeling is that of a good middle-class pen, no longer. This applies to all Space Pen refills (Fine, Medium, Bold).

A real problem for fast weakening duration writer like me is that you have to press fixed to the Space Pen something than with other good pens what the personal "off criterion" for a pin would be for me, with whom I z. B. want to write long and a lot while studying would. To write even a DIN-A-4 page, absolutely okay, there will be more, get at least I feel uncomfortable in your fingers (but what do I get with most pens and why I, in the cases of "a lot of writing" to good gliding rollerball such. as the Lamy FH14117 -Tintenroller Safari, model 317, umbra back grab matte.) For those whose hands are more robust, or write anyway only with a real pen, the Spacepen is certainly a good choice ,

The letter "itself":
Delivered the pin with a black-writing medium mine.

The pen writes as described also against gravity, which is good if you in the evening in bed makes z. B. a couple of crossword o. Ä. And would while holding the magazine up. Other pens make this only for as long as still ink residues are on the ball, that is, at most a few words long.

Whether the pens now at 100 or 200 degrees is still writing, I personally do not really care, especially as I think that I would be at such temperatures before all other problems, having to write down as something ... What it perhaps is good, is the fact that the pin is damaged not so fast, he should come to mind times from the pocket into the campfire. But even that is probably an extremely exotic situation, which is not too common in my life.

However, a very pleasant thing is the possibility that this pin on wet, greasy / oily surfaces etc. very reliable writes, as well as on waterproof paper (what normal pens usually do) and in the icy cold. Even under water, he writes easily, which I will not come vermultich also in this situation, or even in this situation entirely different problem would have to deal with, as again write something ...

Not good to hardly / not write these pens on film. The pen writes never on smooth plastic, glass or tiles, regardless of whether other reviewers say here something else, I have each tested several times with several different Fisher Space Pen original mines (F / M / B). Definitely none of these mines writes in the aforementioned documents.

Other:
It lacks a clip, which is extra-get - and must pay. Unfortunately, there is no in rainbow coloring, which I very, very sad personally find. Without clip the pin rolls fast times from the table and can not even fix the pocket covenant, which quite annoying over time, because it is small enough so that he could not interfere worn in this way. It fits quite well in the coin pocket of jeans, but no clip I had here fear that he simply slides me in an unfavorable opportunity so unnoticed out of my pocket / falls.

With respect to its robustness, the pin has no equal and is virtually indestructible. I once read somewhere that this pin was in the wash of a Mitrezensenten in the washing machine and it has survived without any damage. I do not consider this an exaggeration and have no doubt that this simple and therefore very solid pen yet can withstand a whole lot more.

Conclusion:
A very, very robust pen, which is the best choice when it comes to camping / outdoor activities and also offers at BW / THW- / firefighting operations and for field researchers in the Amazon region or even for those, the one indestructible pens for incidental notes etc. always want to have in his luggage.

He writes reliably on all surfaces, on which also write normal pen, yea, and when these surfaces are wet, when writing against gravity and / or environmental conditions prevail, would where a standard ballpoint pen.

Visually, it's really quite an alien among the pens (even among other Bullet Pens Fisher), wants to say through the crass coloring, its simple elegance and the tiny size is the coolness factor in my opinion, quite high and is ideal as a gift for someone who has a penchant for Use outdoor adventures.

Although normal ballpoint pen can draw a line of about a kilometer and the Space Pen (with a medium-mine) can draw a three-kilometer long line before the respective ink cartridges are empty, is the Space Pen (regardless of which Fischer-Mine ) m. E. not so good for people who want to write for hours so pleasant and comfortable in a normal environment on plain paper under normal circumstances. Here, the Space Pen hardly differs from other pens, and in this regard is simply too expensive for what he does. Look in this case rather for a rollerball pen in the same price segment around, the writing feeling is there worlds more comfortable and permanently significantly less tiring.
