Fisher Bullet Space Pen

How many times have you reached into your flight bag or kneeboard during a flight only to find the ink has dried or the pen no longer working?  This happens even more frequently the higher altitudes that you fly.  The Fisher Space Pen is your solution to always having a working writing instrument during flight and on the ground.

Unlike ordinary ball pens which rely on gravity to feed ink, the replaceable Space Pen cartridge is pressurized. At nearly 35 pounds per square inch, ink is continuously fed to the tungsten carbide ball, allowing the user to write at any angle, even upside down. This advanced technology required Fisher Space Pen Co to develop a new and special ink.

And they did. The new visco-elastic, thixotropic ink, with a consistency similar to that of very thick rubber cement, flows as a result of the shearing action of the rolling ball in its socket. This shearing action liquefies the solid gel thixotropic ink, allowing the pen to write smoothly and dependably on the most surfaces and even underwater.

Evaporation, wasted ink and back leakage are eliminated. The estimated shelf-life of these pens is over 100 years.

  • Writes from -30º to 250º F
  • Writes at any altitude
  • Writes on Wet Surfaces
  • Writes on Photographs
  • Writes Underwater
  • Writes at any angle

The Fisher Bullet Pen is cited as an outstanding example of industrial art, the Fisher Bullet Pen was exhibited for years at the New York Museum of Modern Art. The Bullet's timeless styling has been the subject of many art books, magazine articles, the Tonight Show, Good morning America, John Ratzenberger's Made in America, and even an episode of Seinfeld. It is one of the most well known pens in the world.

  • Chrome finish over metal with rubber "O" ring
  • Length - 5.25" open, 3.75" closed
  • Refill - fisher PR4, black ink, medium point (included)

Never leave home without it
by Troy from Tyler TX USA 

Pros: Reliability, porrtability, high quality.
Cons: None.
Review: The best designed product in the history of man. I've owned & carried one of these puppies since 1979. Used it to help take apart my rifle in basic training. Fits in your pocket with your change, yet expands to full size for writing. Pressurized ink developed for the space program writes on vertical surface, upside down, under water, or in boiling grease, if you could stand it. Always there when you need it.

An excellent pen
by William from West Seneca NY USA 

Review: There is nothing wrong with the Fisher Bullet pen that I could find. It performs as expected, it is very attractive and the chrome finish is excellent. I like the handy plastic box it was delivered in as well; it makes a handy carrying case. Some may dislike the lack of a pocket clip, but I find the pen more comfortable to use without the clip. For those who miss the pocket clip, Fisher makes other models which have one. On the whole the pen is the best writing ball pen I have used, not that any ball pen does anything for my penmanship!

EVERYONE should have one of these.
by A Customer from Lexington, KY 

Pros: DEPENDABLE. NEARLY INDESTRUCTIBLE. Very compact.
Cons: Thicker ink can make sloppy handwriting even worse.
Review: I've carried a space pen for a decade now. My pen has been used in all types of weather during numerous wilderness search and rescue operations and a military deployment to Iraq. It handled everything I put it through (although I don't recommend using it as a tiny prybar). Yes, it is dented and the black coating has worn off the ends, but still functions perfectly.

As for pen life, I also used my space pen for my daily reports and forms over the course of almost two years as an EMT. That's a HUGE amount of daily paperwork. It was also my backup writing utensil when I returned to college, and used for some small task nearly daily. I've not yet had to purchase a refill.

My only complaints concern the nature of the ink. While it does in fact write on almost anything, it does tend to smear on many surfaces (including pictures). Not a huge complaint since most other pens wouldn't have be useful at all under those circumstances. If you need a dedicated tool for this kind of writing, get a fine tip Sharpie.

Also, it is surprisingly bad at writing on those "Rite in the Rain" types of paper, worse than even conventional pents (which aren't so hot either). Stick with pencil.

Finally, don't expect to do fine calligraphy or fancy invitations with the space pen. The thicker ink can cause uneven sized strokes and occasionally slight stringers of ink between separate strokes. Unless your handwriting is already pushing the edge of legibility, don't let this effect decision, as the Space Pen delivers all it promises.

RECOMMENDATION:

BUY IT. Carry it with you ALWAYS. But also keep a fancy pen, a sharpie, and a pencil somewhere in your life for those special tasks.

A great pen to leave in your pocket and forget about
by Micah Parrish from Fort Collins, CO 

Pros: Small and doesn't break, leak, or poke a hole in your pocket.
Cons: If you lose it you are out 20 bucks.
Review: This pen is always with me in my front pocket with my keys, because you never know when you need to write down a girl's phone number.
