I ordered this pen to join my Uni PowerTank to use at my job which requires outside work in all weather. Compared to the Power Tank this one seems to write a tad darker. I think this is because the pressure that remains in the ink cartridge is topped off when you click the pen to use it again. This probably results in more pressure than the constant pressure of the Power Tank. I get a glob of ink on the tip once in a while, but I've trained myself to not click this pen. The pen body is easy to hold onto. I can't recommend it though over the PowerTank other than on aesthetics. It costs much more and does practically the same as the PowerTank.

Great pen. Writes very smoothly and is comfortable in the hand. I think I know why the one reviewer says that the pen leaks at the tip -- if you are one of those folks who fidgit by clicking their pen open and closed alot while thinking about what to write next, you are probably activating the air pressure mechanism and eventually ink will build up on the tip and smear on the page.

Great pen. It feels comfortable in hand and I love the fine point. The only problem I experienced was that refills leaked at the ball. I must have got a bad one.

I am in love with these pens! I just received my second one. I like the fine point and it glides smoothly on paper.

This pen is great! It\'s super comfortable wherever you put it because of its small ergonomic design. Also it writes like a charm because of the pressurized ink cartridge. What I also like is the great looks with the sleek stylish adjustable clip that compliments the whole pen. Another great feature of this pen is the little piece of transparent plastic on the side of the pen that allows you to see inside the pen and on top of all that there is a wonderful grip for very comfortable writing and reduces fatigue. All around this pen is one of the best ever and definitely worth the $. I only wish that you could rate it 100,000/5.

I love this pen. It's light and doesn't take up my room in my pocket. Finally, a pen that I can take grocery shopping. My wife is trying to steak it, so I'll have to order one for her.

I think everyone should own one pen with a pressurized refill. They are just so handy to have. I give Tombow full marks for the concept behind this pen and for a really nifty clip. But I have to deduct a star as I didn't find the Air Press to be as comfortable to write with as I would have liked. Short and fat or thick is often a dubious combination for writing comfort. I think I'd give the nod to Uni's Power Tank (another pressurized pen sold at JetPens) for writing comfort but the Tombow Air Press is better looking

I'm trying really hard to love this pen, but after almost a year owning this pen, I would not recommend this.

Good
1. Smooth Ink (Not as smooth as Uniball Jetstream), but better than most
2. Clear and solid Black color
3. Pretty look, (I have one in White)
4. Great spring loaded clip

Bad
1. Major flaw on this pen, if you like to click pen unconciously, the ink will leak all the time.
(The pen is designed to pressurized the ink with air everytime you click on the pen)

I got ink smeared over my bag pack and my hand.

If you need a pressurized pen that can write well on any angle, you should skip this one and go with the Powertank.

I really like the design and size of this pen, and it really will write on just about anything, but the ink glops. If I paused while taking notes, the first stroke of the next word I wrote began with an ink blob. When I used the pen the first thing in the morning, the first stroke had a big blob.

I loaded the blue refill that I purchased with the pen to see if the problem was the black refill shipped with the pen. It didn't seem to produce as many blobs, but it wasn't a clean line like my Fischer space pen cartridges.

Too bad. I really like the concept of the pen and really like the design, but I can't take the smudges.

I have used this pen for over two years as a waiter and it has never failed me on the job. I have had to replace the pen once due to my rough treatment of it, but faithfully bought the same model.
This pen can be used to write in any position, and does not clog or produce that blotchy gunk on paper when writing with it for the first time in a while (a problem common with cheap ballpoints). While I have never tested it completely submerged under water, it is very capable of writing on wet paper; very handy for waiters who haven't had time to dry their hands.
Aesthetically and ergonomically, it is a very practical design. The clip is perfect for clipping to notebooks and aprons, and it grips quite tightly. The knocker has a resistant click (from pressurizing the chamber) that may take time to get used to, but is in no way difficult to engage. The pen is rather short, so if you have big hands, be prepared to experience this issue.
Finally, be careful not to overtighten the tip when replacing the ink cartridge, as it is easy to strip the threads.

I love this pen. I have always been a fan of pressurized pens. This one really out performs the Fisher Space Pens and the clip opens wide enough for thick shirts, notebook covers, etc...It also writes much more cleanly than the Fisher pens.

I bought them in 3 colors. I love the pens, Everything from Jet Pens has been great

Just received this Pen, and it is as represented. Cool looking pen, has very good clip and ergonomics. I only gave it 3 stars due to the poor quality of the cartridge that came in the pen. It is scratchy, and hard to write with, something like using a bottle of ink and a nail to write with. I have looked, and apparently the refill cannot be changed in this pen. Perhaps this is due to the pressurized design. In any event, I will definitely carry this pen with me on my next moon landing, as I am sure it will write as badly on the moon as it does on earth. If all you are concerned with is having a funky different looking pen than this is the one for you to get. If you want something that writes well, I would suggest you look elsewhere.

Great pen, especially in rugged conditions. I often left it in the car overnight in sub-freezing temperatures, and it always wrote well. It came in especially handy for making notes on a vertical notepad; it did not run dry like most pens do. The clip is durable, and lets you carry the pen clipped to a jeans pocket with no problem. It is good to keep this pen in your pocket when not in use, because people will steal this pen. My next one will be the bright orange one.

I have one of these on my desk, one in my truck and one in my kitchen. It's my absolute favorite day to day pen ever.

I just received my Tombow Airpress pen today, and what an awsome pen. Its a little smaller then I expected, which is good and it writes awsome and the grip is great. Its one of my favorite pens. Thanks JETPENS!!

This has quickly become my favorite ballpoint pen. It replaced the Zebra F-301 as my ballpoint of choice for many years. It writes quite smoothly. I also like the fat grip. Solid pen.
