Fisher Space Bullet Space Pen (375)

I have had rheumatoid arthritis (the inflammatory type) for over 30 years now, and it has done a lot of damage to my hands. I am a writer, and I need to be able to write by hand as well as by computer. I recently saw a detailed video series on AOL about handwriting, and it showed a position for holding the pen that particularly works for people with arthritis. I tried it, and it helped greatly.Before, I had used an enlarged handgrip type of pen and pencil, and now I need one that is much smaller. And if I'm going to use ink, it needs to handle strange angles, because my grip may not be the angle most pens are used to. I've been using pencils with thick, soft lead, and that requires very frequent turning of the pencil, which means shifting my grip. Also frequently advancing the lead. Oy.So I researched--a lot--and came up with the Fisher. I had tried a Fisher refill some time ago, but can't find it now and don't know which pen it fitted. I have a collection of pens and pencils. Now a whole bunch of them have dried up refills. Oy! The Fisher refill sounds good as an antidote to that.Thanks to everyone who wrote reviews on Fisher pens! I found this one, read all your reviews, and thought it just might be good for me. And I ordered one.Well, wow! I can write faster and better than I have for the last few years. Even though it doesn't have a clip, it doesn't roll off surfaces, just rolls rather slowly in a small circle. Fits in my pocket great. Allows me to keep one grip for a long time, and helps me write better. It's mentally better, too, because I can write faster.Of course I need a back up! So I am here to order another. Sitting here with my trusty Fisher in my shirt pocket--snapped shut, 'cause I certainly don't want to lose it. Its weight is just right. I don't even feel it in my pocket, but it doesn't float around in there. It's a good friend!

I love fisher space pens, this is my 5th one. Lost the other 3 lol.I love them because they ALWAYS write. The patina of the raw brass changes a little bit everyday and I love that. Also, I've ever had one go dry on me. To be fair, I lost them before they had a chance.They're not perfect, but because of the quality materials and simple construction, they are pretty simple to fix if something goes wrong. For example, a common problem is that, on the front of the pen, the outer brass sheath will eventually separate from the inner barrell. Put some epoxy on there and you're good. Another small issue, you can see in the photo I attached that the construction may vary a bit. One pen sits way down into the shell before it stops, and the other fits higher up. Doesn't bother me, but worth noting.The other photo is an example of better materials: I was able to add a keychain to one of them. Drilled a hole, then filed and sanded it down smooth. What other pen can you do that with?I've got two now, one for home and one on the go. Where's yours?

I'm a big fan of the Fisher Space Pen refills. I have them in most of my pens and I buy the refills by the dozen. One of my favorites is the Zebra F-701 stainless steel pen, slightly modified to perfectly use the Fisher refill. (I'll point you to the simple how-to for this if you ask). But I don't always have a convenient shirt pocket to clip my pen firmly in place. That's where this terrific pen comes into play. If I'm wearing a sweater or sweatshirt in winter or a t-shirt in summer without a pocket I just slip this into my pants pocket at I'm prepared to write on nearly any surface without fail. It is weighted toward the primer end and is surprisingly comfortable to write with.It is heavy enough to stay in place without worries of it slipping out of my pocket and of course there is the novelty factor. It's simply fun to watch people's reaction when I pull a bullet out of my pocket and start to write with it. Just a caution here: I would not try to board a plane with this in my pocket. Flying is aggravating enough without trying to convince some TSA moron that the only way he could get hurt with this is if I threw it at his hollow head.Also the normal rubbing contact with my fingers is enough to keep it nice and shiny. I should say, not so much shiny, as it develops a lovely patina with usage. I've had no need to polish it. The shell casing is a genuine H&H casing and is made from raw brass, it's not polished, but it is smooth and fairly shiny. This means I've no worries about loose change in my pocket dinging up the finish. Any tiny imperfections merely make it look more authentic.I'm probably going to buy another in case I lose this one and I may give some for Christmas gifts this year, too. I could not recommend this pen more.Additional note: the size of the pen as listed on the page is incorrect. Opened, with the cap in place on top, the pen is 4 3/8" long. Closed with the cap covering the writing tip, it is 4" long. It fits very comfortably in my pants pocket.

Per chi ama questo genere di "gadget" il prodotto e' decisamente bello e ben fatto.

Gave it to my GF for Christmas, and she says she loves it. She leaves it in her car, and it worked perfectly when she needed to write down a note with temps below freezing.

Para el día a día son más prácticos otros bolígrafos de la marca pero este es muy original para tenerlo en casa o en un despacho

el producto corresponde a la imagen pero mal la inspeccion de calidad final biene muy apretado para cambi9atr el repuesto hay que usar herramientas y daña el material.

Ink cartridge writes smoothly, Pen has a definite weight and I am delighted with the actual cartridge of the 375 being the pens Body and holder
