A not quite so small pocket pen supplied with a generously large sprung pocket clip that can accommodate almost any thickness of fabric or fit over a thick cover of a journal, diary, notepad or a meetings minutes book. It is available in a limited range of colours including black and blue. As an alternative to using the clip, there is a small plastic loop opposite the clip that could accept a thin D-ring or nylon cord associated with a lanyard. Unlike other 'mini-pens', this is sufficiently chunky and of an appropriate length to grip and use effectively.The "Tombow BC-AP54 Airpress Ballpen - Orange" is a recent addition to a couple owned and used since they were first discovered 2-3 years ago,

Those who criticise and rubbish this pen do not appreciate its almost unique abilities - it can write at any angle, including upside-down and on wet and greasy paper with equal ease. It isn't unique because the Fisher Space Pen was the first to do so but is more expensive; its refills cost about the same as one of these pens. You also have to pay extra for the pocket clip if you want one. This is complete when purchased, is also refillable but the refills are less pricey than Fisher's.The trick is that the refills are sealed at the end where they are normally open to the atmopsphere and there is pressurised gas within that pushes the ink to the point.They also have the advantage that they are capless and use the familiar push-button system.

I bought two of this in different colours: one for me and the other for one of my colleagues at work. We tend to walk around the floor making notes on a clipboard and sometimes writing at strange angles. So far, I’m very pleased whit its performance, it has not stopped working yet!The pen looks sturdy and professional, definitely more expensive looking than what I paid for it. It allows a good grip and it’s comfortable to use. I don’t know how long the ink will last, that will be the next test! So far I may have written the equivalent to 6 A4 sheets of paper and ink is flowing perfectly with no issues.

It writes smoothly, it has a nice fat barrel, it looks quirky and it feels well made.I wanted a well made, short pen - which this is. I wanted a good pocket clip - which this has.The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it just feels a little strange to use. I have yet to find it comfortable. The lumps and bumps on the barrel are too intrusive and are completely unnecessary. Look, for example at the LAMY 2000 range; smooth tapered barrels are absolutely fine. Barrels don't need bumps, just a minimal texture to stop them slipping.

This is a brilliant pen for the price. Yes it does write on paper upside down. LolIt’s smooth and has taken some abuse as work in motor industry so does get battered a fair amount and has not had an issue.Small niggles for myself are the fine tip ink cartridge it comes with as I prefer medium but will get used to it. The actual outer layer of the pen is more rubbery so am not sure how long this is going to last itself. Only time will tell.Overall the pen is brilliant. You can’t beat it for the price.

I use this in combination with a Rolson Recoil Key Ring.https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00420G81E/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_26This way, the pen is on a retractable line, that I attach to my belt. The reason?I always have problems digging in my pockets for a pen, and have had a few pocket ink mishaps.Also, I wanted to have a pen that sends the clear message of "Yes I have a pen, and No you cannot borrow it!"

It’s really comfortable to use I wear gloves at work and often have to write in all weathers upside down and vertical never had a problem with this pen at all.Is a little bit on the small side but it’s forgiven as it lives in my trouser pocket by my knee love this little pen.Doesn’t feel robust but works a charm and the pocket clip works extremely well it’s not come out of place accidentally at all.

I was already pleased with this pen as it's very nice to write with, works fine on thermal paper, and functions horizontally when writing on a vertical surface.But after I left the pen in my pocket and it went through the washer, tumble dryer AND STILL WORKS FINE — I think this betters anything else I can write here!

I love this pen - the only problem is that it ran out of ink far too quickly. The refill is very small - due to the airpress mechanism I suppose. Just be prepared and have spares ready. Wont run dry when you have to lean on a wall to write - perfect for me, and easy to spot when I leave it lying around.

Had my original for 3 years now and purchase these as gifts. Such a great lightweight, capable pen. Pens like Fisher Space Pen are nice but only do the same job and are easily lost (expensive to lose). Perfect for everyday use or as an ideal companion to waterproof field note pads.

Too small, and there is a little plastic bit on the rear of the pen that rubs on your hand when you write. But it can write upside down, the clip is a proper clip and looks Narly. Get that in your EDC pouch ??

Saw this in Stuff magazine and bought it loving my pens. I love this! It does what it says and writes anywhere. Is different and not many people have seen one. Great price.

Writes upside-down a treat, just as claimed by the manufacturers. A sturdy pen with a very satisfying *click!*Came well presented, and refills are cheap and easy to buy.

Perfect for inside the pocket carry and it's not as big as a normal pen but I fit a large glove and I can hold it comfortably but anything above an XL might be an issue
