About Zebra Pen 29411 F-701 Ballpoint Stainless Steel Retractable Pen
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
94% praised the durable design
I need a durable and chemical resistant pen for use in my research lab.
After almost two years of use, my pen has retained its brushed-metal luster without any signs of wear and tear.
91% found it comfortable to hold and use
I love the ergonomics and ruggedness of the pen.
The grip provides a comfortable gripping surface as it is machined.
I prefer the intricate pattern on the grip over rubber grips on plastic pens that deteriorate over time.
89% praised the consistent ink flow
The ink flows well in a 0.7mm line and is well known to owners transitioning from the F-301, as it uses exactly the same F-refills - so no need to purchase a different type; you can even cannibalize your F-301 to feed your pen if you so desire.
This pen has the perfect amount of flow, the tip never catches on the paper, and the grip is comfortable in my hand.
Writing with this ink is a joy as it flows out smoothly.
90% appreciated the easy refill process, though 10% found it complicated
I can use standard Zebra F-series refills with the F-701, but Fisher Space Pen refills are also accepted.
I suggest a better quality refill for the pen that writes as smoothly as it looks.
86% appreciated the fine and precise tip
This pen meets my criteria for ballpoint pens with very fine tips and good weight distribution. The weight is concentrated more towards the bottom of the pen, providing a lot of tip control. It is also one of the thinnest writing tips I have ever used, and I typically write with .03mm led pencils.
There is no play in my pen tip, which is a rare quality.
I prefer the fine tip of the pen.
