Rite in the RainWeatherproof Black Mini Bolt-Action Pen - Black Ink, 2 Pack (No. 20K-2)

These pens are great for every day carry. Small and compact, lightweight and the clip is strong so the pen doesn’t move around when clipped to a shirt or in your pants pocket. I love that there are two. I have one for work and the other for when I’m not working. Also, it’s very comfortable to write with

The size & shape is excellent, perfect for pocket, purse, or organizers. The famous “weatherproof” ink works fine, but is not the smoothest writing stuff. It’s fine for jotting notes in a little pad or tablet though, which is this pen’s mission. The lightweight plastic pen body feels a little fragile, but hasn’t broken even when jammed in back jeans pocket. I like the “bolt action”. Also like that the hole in top of clip allows attaching a lanyard or bench loop.

Fun gift that went well with the write in the rain notebooks. Great to leave in the car. Daughter takes notes in marsh/wetlands areas and works great!!

I’ve been using this mini pen as a backup in my bag for about six months, and it’s been great. It’s small, lightweight, and the bright orange color makes it easy to find even in a dark bag or pocket.The pen writes reliably every time, and the ink dries quickly, which is especially useful when jotting things down outdoors. It’s surprisingly comfortable to write with, though the compact size can cause a bit of hand cramping if you’re using it for long stretches. It’s definitely better suited for quick notes rather than long sessions.If you work outside or just need a portable, trustworthy pen to keep on hand, this is a solid choice.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Compact and easy to use.

The media could not be loaded. Decided to pick up a pack of these after trying out RitR's larger bolt action pen (BK16). I wasn't sure about the smaller size and plastic construction of these guys at first compared to their larger, metal counterpart but I actually think I like these quite a bit more.The No. 20's plastic body, while lacking the premium feel of RitR's metal bolt action pens, is thick and durable - there's little doubt this thing can survive quite a bit of abuse. The pen has a noticeable heft to it despite its size, too, though it's still light enough that it easily disappears into the pocket. The bolt action is nice and smooth out of the box, making it a blast to fidget around with while watching TV.While shorter than a traditional pen, the No. 20 has a nice triangular shape that makes it easy to grip, and the textured portion on the bottom half provides a natural index point for your fingers. The pen also has a surprisingly nice weight balance as well. While you probably don't want to use these for extended note taking sessions, the pen is perfect for jotting down a quick reminder or phone number in a pocket notebook.The Fisher ink cartridge performs well, like most other of their RitR branded pens. I've mostly used mine with my No. 754 pocket notebook, and I've had zero issues with skipping.The pen's one achilles heel is the location of the bolt handle, directly behind the pocket clip. While that spot makes the pen easy to operate, I've had the handle get snagged a couple times when stowing or retrieving the pen. I'm also not certain how long the plastic pocket clip will hold up. While it seems sturdy, almost every plastic pen I've used long term has wound up with a broken clip.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I really like the orange color. It makes it easy to find if the pen is dropped or it is dark.Pen quality:Once you clear the wax off the tip, it writes as well as any other ball point pen.A fair price, if not an inexpensive one. $25.00 for 2 pens would have been more appealing.Color variety:Only the orange interested me. That stand out in the gloom color is the biggest selling pointComfort:It is comfortable to write with.Value for money:If the pens were made of metal, but still orange, they would be a good buy. They are overpriced for plastic.

I really like the pen and the color. But the clips are plastic and broke on both of the pens I have. The should reallymake the clips metal and sell a replacement separately
