Great little pen
I needed a pen to use when I wear polo shirts with no pockets. If I am wearing a shrit with a pocket, I usually carry a fountain pen, but those pens can get separated from the cap when not in a pocket. This pen did the jog nicely as it is small, lightweight, and handy to use. It write beautifully every single time. That being said, there is not much ink in the cartridge and I am not sure how to change the cartridge once it does run out. Aside from that, it is working beautifully and the bright orange color means I am not likely to leave it behind.

Great item
I recently had the opportunity to use the Tombow Pencil BC-AP54 Pressurized Oil-Based Ballpoint Pen in the vibrant Orange color, and I must say it's been a pleasant writing experience. First of all, the pressurized design of this pen sets it apart from others. It allows for consistent ink flow, even if you're writing at different angles or on challenging surfaces. This feature has proven to be extremely convenient and reliable, making it a go-to pen for a variety of writing tasks. The 0.7mm tip size strikes a perfect balance between precision and smoothness. I found the pen glided effortlessly on paper, creating clean and consistent lines without any skipping or smudging. Whether writing notes, journaling, or even doodling, this pen delivers on its promises. The orange color of the pen adds an extra touch to any writing experience. It's bright and eye-catching, making it easy to spot in a pen case or on a cluttered desk. Plus, the pen itself has a sleek and comfortable design, with a non-slip grip that ensures a comfortable writing experience even during extended use. Additionally, the oil-based ink used in this pen is bold and vibrant, making a statement on any page. The ink dries quickly, preventing any potential smearing or smudging, which is always a plus. Overall, the Tombow Pencil BC-AP54 Pressurized Oil-Based Ballpoint Pen, Air Press, 0.7 in Orange is a reliable and enjoyable writing tool. Its unique pressurized design, smooth ink flow, comfortable grip, and bold color make it a standout pen for both functionality and aesthetics.

Good field pen
This is defiantly a field style pen. Neither necessarily tactical nor for office use. But with nice and simple outdoor details. It writes well for a ballpoint pen. It is an on-the-go pen that you could take with you every where. Flexible wire clip on this pen which opens almost 30 degrees, gives you a-lot of options in terms of where to clip the pen. When I opened the interior of the pen I noticed that the ink container is almost the half size of an ordinary ballpoint pen. But you could replace them when finishes. With the exception of clip and spring it is made aut of plastic and it is a light weight pen. I bought the orange one to be more visible in my bag. İt has a rubberize material that increases control when you hold it. It writes at every angle as mentioned. And yes, on wet paper too, depending how wet your paper is! To summarize: it is a good pen and feels more reliable for those times that you pull the pen out and you fear it is dry or won't write.

I like this pen!
It fits my hand and has a nice, very fine point. It is well made. I don't know why I need a pressurized pen......but I'm glad I have it. Weird.

Perfect pen for outdoor workers
This pain is a bit pricey, and it took quite a while for it to arrive, but man it is so worth it I'm giving it 5 stars! See, I work outside in the Seattle area, and I have to write reports out in the rain-rain-rain. This pen is the only pen that I found will write on a totally wet surface. Also, it writes irrespective of its position, so no need to shake or flip around the pen to get it to write. I actually have three versions of it: the white barrel, which I purchased at an office supply store (which is how I originally found out about it), and this orange barrel, and finally a clear barrel. I have a tendency to leave pens in pockets, so having several comes in handy. The barrels are a little bit thicker than your average pen, which gives them more substance while still making them comfortable to grip. ( I'm a woman with long fairly slender fingers.) Also, the orange and white barrels are made of a very slightly gummy rubber (or whatever it's made of), so they've got a no-slip grip. The clip is very well constructed, sturdy and can flip up if needed. All in all, a great pen!

Ink blotch, refills meh, otherwise solid?
So I have pretty average hand size and this fits my hands but its nearly too small. The clip is really nice. The body is a comfortable size to hold. The slight ridges by the point add grip feel comfortable without being in the way no Matter how you hold the pen.The bigger issue I have is the ink while it does what it says and holds on in wet/ damp conditions and it works arguably better than rite in rain on their own paper. The ink gets clumpy and if you brush any of those clumps you get some pretty awful streaking. If you write left handed I'd consider that alone a deal breaker. The ink clumps do dry so its not a travesty but it takes like 3 minutes. However the ink cartridges are very short and i imagine they runout faster given they are less than half the size of my zebra v301 and not as wide either. I have only seen refills of those size provided by tombow. Didn't see any variety of them either.
