Another model for me to try and adapt to my EDC.

I have had a couple clicky space pens and looking to maybe try a Bullet model. How are they compared to the regular models?
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

I have several of the bullet models, but actually none of the Fisher clicky models to compare.  I couldn’t justify the price of a Fisher clicky, when something like a Parker Jotter will take Fisher refills.

Pabs is right. I've had more than one escape from me pocket. However, I love 'em and just try to be sure I'm carrying one in a manner that decreases the chance of 'pocket jump'.   :D

I ended up buying a pocket clip for my Bullet Space Pen but it slides off frequently. Any tips or tricks to keep it on?

I used a couple of small dots of gorilla glue on mine that I have a clip on.  Not ideal I admit but it worked.

I tried gluing the clip with some adhesive and it kept sliding off so I just took some electrical tape and taped it on with better results.

I ended up sending my pen back to Fisher for warranty work. Not only did they fix the clip, they also send a personalized letter saying the pen was checked over for warranty work but also sent me a complimentary refill!  :tu:

I still use the 3 Fisher Space Pens pictured in my original 2016 post.  The pens remain in very good shape and are used daily.  I have replaced the original medium ink cartridges with Fisher's fine (PR4F) cartridges.  While I value being able to write at any angle and in cold temperatures, I must echo what a few others have said.  The writing quality is only mediocre, especially when the ink begins to come out in globs.  The writing quality is on par with the ball point pens give out for free at county fairs, banks, and trade shows.

Spot on!

I am back to Fisher Bullets again.  I switched to cheaper Parkers for a few years, but they were less comfortable to carry and I ended up losing them more often (so close to a wash in terms of cost).

Still not a fan of the Fisher inserts.  Truthfully I also never replaced nor contacted them.  I use whats been reliable for me, Zebra refills.  Not bashing Fisher just my experience see my post on page 6.  A failure is not a big deal but my was not good.  Not one but 2 failures at that.  I wanted to document my experience and while I guess I could have called Fisher I chose not to.  I solved it by using what had worked for me.  I'm still happy with my choice.  That said I was also not a huge fan of the writing experience.  I'm a lefty so the ink when it did work was eh, my fountain pens are less of a problem for me. 
 
As with everything, this is my experience YMMV. 

What I carry everyday is a cheap staples mini pen.  It rides in my front pocket in the leather slip.  Never an issue.  Random insert.  Its plastic and as you can see its beat up but it has not failed.     

The red pen is very similar to the bullet. It brass, it came with a random insert that I used up.  I believe I've had this since 2013/2014.  Its original insert has been replaced with a Zebra, never an issue.  I like the build in clip too.  Never an issue. 

My bullet is good but I rather carry my red one since it has a built in clip.  I use Zebra insert in my bullet and never an issue.  I don't carry this pen that often.  While the insert is reliable I choose the red pen over this one.  Maybe I am harboring some resentment  :) 

I should have also pictured my Manager.  I carried it for 10 years? The pen never had an issue.  Same goes for my Explorer plus I also carried a long time.  That pen also never had a failure.   

The gear I use must be ready when called upon.  A failure I can accept to a degree but 2 failures means that gear is a goner.  Yes its a pen but still its not worth the money spent if I worry about leaks.  I have made the adjustment so I can use the bullet case so its a win in my book. 


The random black pen with silver clip is used least.  I keep it around cause it is reliable tho I wont be able to use a Zebra insert when the ink runs out.     

Fisher certainly doesnt need my seal of approval.  They have a loyal following.  If Fisher wants to send me an insert I'd be happy to give it a go but if its gloppy ink then no thanks.  My Zebra is smooth writing.

Mrs. TJ and I just got back from vacation in Disney World. I signed the check in a French restaurant in Epcot one day with my Fisher Bullet pen and the waitress was very interested in it. I ended up talking to her about it for a few minutes and gave her their website to check it out.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

Anyone ever broken the pocket clip on an AG-7?

Looks to be a weaker design to the much lighter Parker Jotter

Ouch.

I don’t have an AG-7, but as a Parker Jotter will take a Fisher refill, perhaps you can eat your cake and have it too…

Yeah, I already do that at work. I also carry a beater Chinese promotional pen that I put the Parker insert into. If anyone asks to borrow a pen, they get the beater. Funnily enough, I've been carrying that one for close to 10 years and the clicky bit is only starting to fail. The AG-7 is my non work EDC pen and was a gift from my wife. Probably a combination of wear and tear from my jeans pocket carrying location and 2 Year Old son playing with it. The Parker Jotter has much more metal at the stress point than the Fisher. Disappointing based on the difference in price between the two.

Lifetime Warranty. I'm sending it in to the Australian Distributor for repair.
Fingers crossed

So, got a brand new pen in the mail today.
It's not the one I sent away thinking it would be repaired  :dunno:
I didn't get any questions about sentimental value or anything. Oh well, they are $175RRP here in Aus, so for just under $30 I have a brand new one.

Glad to hear they sent you a new pen!
:tu:

Hopefully neither you nor your wife are too upset over the loss of the old one.

I would have been happy to receive the same pen back with a new clip. The response was thus:

"The pen is not repairable. The clip is part of the internal assembly of the pen and it is not possible to disassemble the pen to replace the clip.
Nor is it economically viable to even attempt to do this as the cost far exceeds the price of a new pen."

Now if I was in the USA it may be economically viable and I disagree about the the clip being part of the internal assembly.
The economically viable part is probably more due to needing to send it back to the factory where they have the right tools.

Anyway, my wife's ok that it isn't the same one. It got plenty of use and pocket time, so a shiny new one is quite nice to have.
