  Very cheap, very compact..., February 8, 2009

By imon82

Very cheap, very compact as a keychain pen, looks quite good yet simple. My only complaint of these pen is its tendency to accidentally "eject" the pen. I have already lost 2 of these due to that. Hopefully they'd be able to add a screwcap feature just to be sure...

  Amazing pen for a keyring...., May 17, 2012

By kar...

Amazing pen for a keyring. Best one I've ever used because it's so short and easy to carry, yet expands to a reasonable length. I immediately bought several in different colors because I wanted to be sure I'd always have one handy.

I did have the problem of the pen opening by accident and lost a couple that way. Finally solved the problem with an o-ring (from the local hardware store) that fits around the top of the pen just below the wide end part. The o-ring narrows the gap between the pen and cap so that it takes a little more effort to push them together to release the cap. It has worked perfectly ever since.

O-rings in basic black are a perfect match for the black penpod, but I've never seen o-rings in colors. So I use small rubber bands that match the colors of the caps, and with several twists around the pen, they make passable substitutions for o-rings. I found tiny, bright colored rubber bands in the hair accessories department of my local pharmacy that work quite well.

The pen itself is a great little pen - writes smoothly. The problem is that the latch isn't secure. I bought this for my husband as a stocking stuffer, and it really came in handy until one day he noticed that it was gone. It must have unlatched. We wondered if/when the pen would detach and get lost when a few weeks earlier he found it lying on our front porch. So, it was great while it lasted.

  Great pen for your keychain...., January 21, 2010

Great pen for your keychain. Im always in need of a pen, and usually never have one on hand. Since I always have my keys on me, having the pen on my keychain comes in handy. One of my favorite pens by far.

Sidenote: The Sharbo Gel refills are perfect fit for this pen if you desire a gel ink and great colors.

  Great minimalist design,..., April 27, 2009

By xxadrenalin

Great minimalist design, compact and so useful to write with since you can keep them anywhere. However, I can see what imon82's saying and I'm scared to lose it !

  I am a student nurse..., April 15, 2008

By smithl325749

I am a student nurse and this little pen hangs perfectly on my lanyard. I am always in need of pen and this not only serves the purpose of availability, but it is a cool little conversation piece. It would be nice if the pod was offered in black ink. I had to buy the black refill....not a big deal. The push and twist release is also nice.
