Silly name, great pen...., March 25, 2010
Silly name, great pen.
These new $3 Smart Series Power Tanks look better then the original PT line, but
the grip (only grooved plastic) is a step backwards. I'll still give it a 5
based on how well it writes and the overall look.

This review is from Uni-ball Power Tank Smart Series Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Navy Body
Wrote acceptably but the barrel fractured, rendering it dangerous to use. Very
disappointing! I had high hopes for this pen. Save your money by buying the
regular kind, or get a proper Fisher Space Pen.
I found the ink to be acceptable. I used this as my dedicated car-pen; in good
temperatures it writes like a good ballpoint, and in sub-zero Canadian winters
it writes like a thick, below-average ballpoint: that it still writes is
impressive enough for me!
Unfortunately, the top of the barrel fractured, and while the pen is still
intact, clicking the pen down or up you risk having the top pop off. I have
stopped using it for fear of losing it forever.
Total usage: a few hundred lines in my car, and a *single day* of pocket carry,
prematurely aborted because I noticed the barrel had already snapped.

This review is from Uni-ball Power Tank Smart Series Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Yellow Body
I was already a fan of the Power Tank RT pens, so I was not surprised that I
liked the Smart Series as well.
My biggest problem with the RT was that the clip always seemed to break after
awhile. The Smart Series clip seems to be much better.
However, I like the rubber grip of the RT better than the plastic grip of the
Smart Series, so I was pleased to discover that the 'click' mechanisms are
interchangeable. I am now happily writing with my 'Frankenpen' that has an RT
body and a Smart Series 'click' mechanism.

This review is from Uni-ball Power Tank Smart Series Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Beige Body
Although not fancy, this pen must be the best ballpoint available. A very smooth
line is produced, and the long-lasting cartridge is easily replaced by
unscrewing the clip & button end of the pen. Barrel colors are nice, too. I own
three and I have been very pleased with this Uni-ball product.

This review is from Uni-ball Power Tank Smart Series Ballpoint Pen - 0.7 mm - Yellow Body
the ink that comes out of these are great! but there is a HUGE designer flaw.
after about 1 month of use, the top cracks (point where the top screws into the
pen body), and the top part can fly off by clicking the pen top sharply.
i bought about 7 of these, and all of them have done it!
