Space Pen FP4247-BRK Zero Gravity, Matte Black Rubber Finish (ZGMB)

Great all weather pen. Writes anywhere

I can’t brag about these pens enough. Smooth writing without ever blotching. They write on any style paper. I needed to write a quick note and all I had was the remnant of label paper - the slick, almost greasy backing, but this pen didn’t miss a beat. It was legible and didn’t smear. Can write vertically or upside down without stalling. Thick barrel provides good grip. They aren’t the least expensive, but you get what you pay for. In this case, an excellent quality, dependable pen that will always write the first time, whenever you need it to.

Space pens are great -- they write anywhere, at any angle, and in any conditions. Of course that ability comes from the Fisher cartridge inside, which is common to pretty much the whole Fisher product line. That is to say, any Fisher Space Pen will write really well, even in extreme conditions. So definitely buy a Fisher pen. And, as far as Fisher pens go, this is the only one that is big and rubbery. If you like that in a pen, then this is the one to get. If you don't like big clunky pens, then stick with the more traditional products. For me, I am on my third "Zero Gravity" pen. (What can I say? Pens belong to the universe...) The first one was the greatest pen I've ever owned. It was heavy, it had a nice smooth plunger to extend and retract the pen, and it seemed to be built like a tank. Alas, the last two Zero Gravity pens I've owned haven't been as tight -- it seems like the plungers have more play in them then the older one did, and the front end tends to unscrew themselves more easily. That said, I still love the pen. It has that magical Fisher cartridge, and I can write for hours with this big rubberized beast.

I own multiple fisher space pens and this is by far my favorite

I love this pen and its the only pen I use at work. I used my last Fisher pen for almost every day at work for over a year and never had to replace the ink cartridge. When I lost it, I really missed it(and was super bummed out) so I ordered a new one immediately. Pros: *The metal clip doesn't break like so many plastic clips do. I can clip it to my shirt or sweat shirt with no worries about the clip breaking. I've had many pens over the years in which clips have broken-- especially those plastic clip gel pens. *It writes on wet/damp paper. I work as a locomotive engineer and have to fill out calendar day forms in the cab of a locomotive. Occasionally the windows have been left open prior to a rain storm and the forms have gotten wet. The Fisher pen was still be able to write on the form. As a matter of fact, it can read on virtually anything, including glass. *Recently I tried out another brand that had a heavy duty clip. I liked the pen but when I got undressed after work I discovered the pen had leaked onto my white t shirt under my sweat shirt. My Fisher pen has never did that. *The pressurized ink means it writes right away whether that is upside down, side ways or on a regular surface. No dry runs or shaking the pen. I can even write on a small piece of paper in the palm of my hand with no problems. In other words, I didn't need a hard surface to write on with this pen. I purchased my first Fisher pen for $25 so I am happy with the price I got here. Its a bargain. Cons: I can't really think of any except that during the course of using the pen for a year the words and the American flag on the pen started rubbing off. I finally just scraped it all off and the pen still looked good. I highly recommend this pen.

I’m a fan of fisher space pens because they’re so durable and reliable . This one is also reliable writing as soon as pen hits paper. Most fisher pens are made of metal as is this one. What separates this one from other fisher pens is the rubberized shaft which makes it very comfortable. It feels super stable in hand if that makes any sense. It also has a wider shaft than most fisher pens which makes it feel bigger. Because of the price point it’s not my favorite fisher. Losing this pen is losing (at least) 20 bucks which I’d rather not do. Nevertheless I find myself reaching for it often because it looks great is reliable and is a comfortable pen to write with. It is also rugged and reliable. I have, on two occasions, mistakenly put this pen in the laundry and it didn’t ruin clothes by bursting but continued to write without a flaw. It’s a very attractive pen in an understated way so you should be careful when in public places or you may “lose it” in someone’s pocket. Please click “helpful” if this review was. Thank you

If you want a good, quality pen that will last and isn't crazy expensive, then this Fisher Zero Gravity Space Pen is the way to go. I've owned many Fisher Space Pens over the years and have loved them all. I've given many as gifts and the recipients love them too. My girlfriend saw me writing the other day with the chrome Fisher X-750 and she tried it and loved it. Needless to say, that will be the last time I'll ever see that pen. This particular Zero Gravity model is retractable, all black in color, has a black clip, is a tad under five and a half inches long, has a nice texture to it, has more girth than your normal pen and comes with black ink. It also comes in a nice, plastic, flip-top box that you can store it in when you're not using it. The slightly larger girth of the pen makes it more comfortable and easier to handle in a larger hand. As well, the texture of the pen helps keep your hand from sliding down the pen when you've been writing for a little while and your hand is a little sweaty. Like all Fisher Space Pens, this pen's ink is pressurized and thus can continually write upside down, it writes very smoothly, it can write in extreme cold or extreme heat, it will write on glossy or waxy paper when other pens will not, and if you should ever find yourself in space, it will write there too. If you don't like the standard black ink, then you can easily purchase a blue ink refill for this pen right here on Amazon. All in all, definitely a five-star pen.

Purchased this for my husband who has to write on walls for charting at work. The first pen unfortunately stopped writing after a couple of weeks. I contacted AMAZON and within a few days he had a new one. So far the 2nd pen has been working perfectly and he really likes it.

A mio avviso la migliore penna realmente utilizzabile on the field sul mercato. Pregi: scrive sempre Difetti: costo, un po' grossa, per chi abbia mani piccole è disponibile un altro modello, che ho e che consiglio, ma questo ha un migliore sistema di espulsione della punta. altro difetto la mancanza di una matita corrispondente. Da acquistare!

数年前にフィッシャーのアストロノートを買って使っていましたが、ペン自体が細くて正直書き辛かったです。 このペンは太くてめちゃめちゃ書きやすいです。 今のところ自分史上最高のボールペンです。 2024年11月5日 追記 艶なしブラックの塗装？フィルム？が剥がれて銀色になりました…

Léger, tenue facile, beau design, écrit superbement, même la pointe vers le haut. Un bon achat, et un magnifique cadeau à offrir. Ligth, easy to hold in had, nice design, write smootly, enven head up. Good buy and a very good idea for a gift.

Me gusta la sensación en la mano que produce el bioligrafo al escribir Solo echo de menos que no sea compatible con cargas de bolígrafo universales
