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

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.

I love how compact this pen is! The bolt action works flawlessly, the pen is very strong, and it feels surprisingly comfortable in the hands despite its small size. I did have issues right when I opened it getting ink to flow, but since it first started flowing, I’ve had no issues since. I think it’s a great EDC pen and it’s a great value for the money!

These are my new favorite EDC work pens. Love the fact they write literally on every surface. Have a good weight and size even though they are compact. The bright orange color is great since I work in construction. But I also bought the green and tan colored set as well. Ink flow and performance are top notch. No issues whatsoever compared to the basic pens I used to use in the past. I also bought some blue color refills since these only cone with the black mines. Refill replacement is easy. Highly recommend these for anybody that works outside and need a reliable pen.

Best pens I've ever owned. Write smoothly, don't jam up. Good for all writing, not just with their special paper.

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.

Compact size fits in a pocket well.

Better than any other pen I’ve used in the rain but you absolutely need “stone paper” and you cannot really write through droplets. You can dab the page with a cotton cloth to wick up droplets and immediately write over the area and it works well enough to be legible if you don’t already write like a 3 year old

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.

Great Pens, compact. Love the bolt action. Would love to see a version completely made of metal though.

Works a treat. Right size for the pocket and large enough for all day note taking. In between times be entertained by the clicker.

Great, inexpensive way to get into these nitrogen pens. Everyone should have one for emergencies as these write in any condition and don’t dry out even with months of non use. This pair though plastic, I have to say still fall into the premium category (for plastic pens). The bolt action is done well and nothing feels cheap about these. Being nice and short, they fit into small EDC bags or take up little space in a car. Though short, they feel comfortable in hand, unless you plan to write a novel. A must for everyone. Recommended.

i got other pens from RITR, these are great quality and tough pens but the ballpoint on them is verty frustrating to write with on any type of paper, or maybe i could have gotten some sort of edefctive ones, the bolt action is cool and all but useless if the pen doesnt write properly a lot of times

Qualidade impecável! Produto entregue antes do prazo. Recomendo o vendedor.
