Tombow 56069 AirPress Ballpoint Pen, Clear, 1-Pack

I love this pen. It’s perfect for operators who have procedures or paperwork on the go. It’s small and compact. It has a wide opening, heavy duty clip that I use to keep it on my neck lanyard. It also doubles as a place holder on my paper work when I use it as a paper clip. When I’m in the field filling out paperwork and have my papers on the wall I don’t have to stop writing and shake it. It’s pressurized and will write continually in any direction. Will also write in the rain if that’s you. If you work at a place like me that has metal detectors it doesn’t set them off. You can get a pack of 3 refills and the pen for and $10-12 you can’t beat that. Now I have to just stop giving them away to my coworkers and make them buy their own.

I have used quite a few pens over the years, and I think the Tomboy AirPress is one of the cooler pens I have owned. I did have one person ask why I was carrying a syringe, but a quick demonstration revealed it is just an interesting pen! While this pen is not the smoothest to write with, I do not think that is its goal; the pen's ability to write in extreme conditions is awesome. The clear plastic shell is not the most comfortable, but the shape of the pen makes it fairly easy to hold. Overall, I love this pen, but if you are looking for a smooth writer or something flashy, this pen is probably not what you want. It works well, is consistent, is affordably priced, and looks unique.

It may ne short, but it is a precise & effective writing pen no doubt. I hate I lost mine. Whoever found it,... "Lucky YOU!" There was no skip-writing, it worked straight pit of the package. It's worth it.

This is one pen I’ll be carrying with me where ever I go. It has a 0.7 fine point but it feels like it would be an 0.5. But it writes smooth. It’s smaller than your normal pen so it kind of disappears in your pocket. One great EDC pen!

So good I bought more for party favors! I have a list tablet on my refrigerator and I was so frustrated with my usual pen quitting before I finished my list. Now, it’s a small but mighty helpful thing in my life. It’s always ready to write, the ink is perfect, not too thin or thick. It clips right on the list pad.

Pros: Writes Upside down, and almost on anything. Cheap.Cons: Feels cheaply made, not designed for large hands, and this is a single position pen, so if you move the pen around in any direction in your hand it will be uncomfortable. It's also unusually fat for the size, and the ink although pressurized is absurdly small for the pen.Final Thoughts:I am going to keep this pen, I am a pen and pencil collector of sorts, and this will not only be in my collection to show how NOT to make a pen, but also just in case I need a material that most of my other pens may not write well on.That is the only benefit I can see with this pen, it seems to be poorly made in all ways but in its ability to write on most materials.Would I suggest this pen to anyone, no...

Like pens with pressurized ink refill because it allows writing at all angles. This pen does exactly that plus it is compact, retractable and had an expandable clip that allow it to be secured to thick material. Only complaint is that the point is fine; I prefer a medium point.Purchased one for granddaughter in one of her school colors . . . . orange.

Do Not Buy! Sure this “space pen”will write upside down or on wet paper as advertised but it’s a terrible writing pen. It drags across the paper and is not smooth at all like a cross pen. The ink already looks faded as you’re using it. It’s a little too short and nothing special about it. Most likely I will return it. Looks and writes no better than a $1 pen honestly. Big let down.
