UniBall Signo Bit 0.18mm Pen

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 11:39:29 -0400

This is the world's thinnest pen, with the tip measuring in at an amazing 0.18mm and resulting in a line as thin as 0.13mm. The pen tip is small enough to write on a single grain of rice, in case there were any doubts as to the absolute thinness of this pen. This is a ball pen that uses Uni-Ball's exceptional waterproof and fadeproof ink. Although the tip might be too small for some to accurately identify the differences in color, the Bit comes in an excellent variety for those keen eyes including: orange, light blue, violet, pink, emerald and the standard red, black and blue.

These pens are not for the faint of heart as they require intense precision (to prevent skipping) and a light hand to prevent breaking the tip. The writing surface must also be high quality like cotton or a high bond paper. However, for calligraphers and artists, you won't find a smaller tip.

Pilot G2 Limited

PIlot has created the best pen yet! The G2 Limited has everything anyone could have ever wanted/needed. In the following there will be paragraphs about the performance, quality, cost, and colors that this pen has to provide. PERFORMANCE: The G2 Limited flows smoothly and effortlessly across the page. With no breaks or blots left behind this pen is great for anyone that always gets annoyed with parts of the ink that doesn't always stay consistent. The pen will never let you down. QUALITY: This pen provides a sleek, professional look. Its is definitly worth the price, $9.99, $7.00 if you subtract the $3.00 rebate. COLORS: Pilot has provided you with three exclusive colors (glossy black, gold, and silver) and each grip is the same color of the barrel. I recommend this pen to anyone who wants a comfortable, prefessional look.

Uniball 207

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:13:14 -0400

The Uniball 207 is a retractable, gel rollerball pen and was introduced by the Rubbermaid company as a fight against check washing. Check washing is a process used by thieves in they erase the ink on a check (usually with a solvent) then rewrite it to make fraudulent withdrawals. In 2006, check washing led to 800 million dollars of fraud in the US. The Uniball 207 protects against check washing because of one main reason: it uses a pigment-based ink, as opposed to a dye-based ink. This means the pen ink adheres to the surface it's writing on, whereas the other types of ink sit on top (thus making it easier to wash). If you already have a favorite rollerball pen, the 207's ink cartridge will fit in most encasings. The Uniball 207 comes in either a 0.7mm tip or 0.5mm tip.

Memo Pen

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 17:16:55 -0400

Just as the namesake suggests, the memo pen is designed for those short notes you write to remind yourself of simple things like 'pick up milk', 'call the babysitter', etc. The pen is a straightforward ink pen, however the genius comes not from the pen itself, but from the lid. The lid contains 2 feet of writing paper that you can rip off or retract back into the cap and pull out again later. This is a nice change from the super tech PDA and iPhone options that are sure to hit your wallet more than the tried-and-true paper and pen method.

The pen itself is made from brass and chrome parts with a plastic finish. The paper scrolls can be replaced.

Tombow ULTRA

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 11:06:25 -0400

Among sub-$50 ink pens, the Tombow ULTRA stands out as the equal of pens costing 2-8 times as much. Tombow specializes in smooth liquid-ink rollerball pens that don't skip or blot, and are one of the only makers to offer your choice of medium (0.7mm), fine (0.5mm), or extra-fine (0.3mm) points. The latter is fine enough for multiple carbons (remember those?), but not so fine as to scratch through standard paperstock. Tombow refills are reasonably priced when compared to Cross, Schneider, Mont Blanc, and Parker.

In addition to black, blue and red ink, multiple shades of the latter two colors are offered. If one examines some of the pen makers in the Far East (Namiki, recently bought by Pilot Pen Co. is one example), one can clearly see that Japanese craftsmanship of, and appreciation for fountain pens, fine ballpoints and rollerball pens is the equal to any of their Swiss, Italian, German, or American competitors. And Tombow is very affordable.

Sign & Seal Pen

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 09:50:32 -0400

Everybody loves seals, the barking, slapping, and the amazing way they can balance the most ridiculous objects on their nose. Commemorate this great feat with this desk top pen holder. Using a pair of magnets, one in the red pen the other inside the seal's nose, the pen balances perfectly on the seal's nose. From the way the pen rests on the seal the pen can actually spin around quite freely without falling off, and is still simple to take off and reset.

Outside the pen is red, on the inside is a ballpoint that writes out blue ink that is standard refillable.

Dimensions

Red pen is 4.5" long
seal is 2.75" high and 3.25" long

Rocket Pen

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 10:15:57 -0500

Under the category of completely unnecessary, but absolutely mindless fun falls the Rocket Pen. Try to add some fun to your otherwise boring, repetitive, stressful, and all-around crappy day. Did I mention that I'm having a bad day?

The rocket pen will blast itself into your heart (not literally of course). You can expect about 3 to 4 feet of altitude from this 5.25" high rocket that doubles as a pen. Or is it a pen that doubles as a rocket? Either way, start the countdown, hit the red button and say "Blast off!" Perhaps you'll feel like a kid again. Or more likely you'll feel like a fool. Either way it's better than working.

Swiss Aviator Pen

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 10:39:40 -0500

Pens are a great gift idea when you've run out of possibilities; they're practical, people always need more pens and it's likely they don't already have the exact one you're giving them. But why not up the ante a little bit? Give them a pen that doubles as a utility belt and can be used is virtually any condition. The Swiss Aviator Pen features scissors, a bottle opener, a Phillips screwdriver, a wire stripper and an LED light. It can also write upside down, under water, in zero gravity and in extreme temperatures. As an added bonus it's also airport safe - no blades!
