With a great inexpensive pen like this, there is no need for anyone to be using a flimsy plastic pen.

I use this at work every day, it's my go-to pen, it works on any surface, where other people blow through cheap plastic pens that break, fail, bend in two, and dump ink all over their shirts, I've been stunned by the absolute quality by comparison

And a tip from another site also works if your pen rattles a bit: trim that tiny 2mm small end of the flexible plastic insert you removed from the pen's tip, replace it in the pen's tip

WHY on a fully machined metal pen, would the cap still be cheap plastic

when it's in my hand it feels like queerly heavy cheap plastic garbage

Not bad, plastic inners though

I always carry a pen in my jeans pocket and, until now, it has just been a cheap plastic clicky pen.

My employer gives us cheap plastic pens with our

Everything inside is crappy plastic, including the mechanism

One thing the manufacturer pictures don’t show is that the very top of the clicker and the area around it are black plastic (or presumably whatever color plastic matches the ink color), but the mostly-metal construction gives it a pretty cool look and feel that’s hard to elsewhere in this price range

For the past 10 years i have been a constant user of the f-301 model from Zebra, but the plastic kept breaking after 2-3 refills so i have moved over to a more robust model

Metal on the outside top cap but plastic in the top barrel where the clip/clicker installs into

but this one is not any better than the cheap plastic pens you can get anywhere.

the pen clip twist and turns and the plastic that is holding it come apart

I have had 3 of these pens fail at the cheap plastic ring at the top of the pen where the clip joins

So while it may be made of steel, the parts are still screwed into plastic which pretty much defeats the entire purpose of constructing a pen out of a metal only to have both ends screw into the same cheap plastic that the disposable dime a dozen pens are made of

A cheap plastic BIC writes better.

I bought this pen because it looked like a good quality solid metal pen, no plastic

and it wrote just as beautiful as it did when i first got it.

I really didn't liked this pen so much, I was looking for a pen that would lead me to write smoothly (this one does) but that was not as clear as to make it difficult to be seen

As we all know, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link

Buy this pen, throw away the fine point ink cartridge that comes with it, and buy the medium point refills, and I think you will love this pen as much as I do!

I've never seen a pen behave as badly as the 701 because you go to another page to scribble, and the ink is immediately produced just fine as if there never was a problem; however, when you go back to your page where you're trying to write, it will always refuse to write in that area.

The metal on metal construction never cross threads or breaks as I do this

The click top action works as it should and the pocket clip is long enough and has enough strength to hold on a shirt pocket.
