I’ve had my space pen in my pocket for years ( and years, and years, and … ) - same refill, same pen, and the pen writes well & has never let me down. Is that an endorsement? You bet !
Sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any help you can offer me.
The best pen EVER. I have an AG 7 since 1969, paid THREE DOLLARS FOR IT!!! Absolutely the best. Since than i have purchased one hundred or more to give as gifts. Love them.
Love these pens!!! I keep one on me at all times even though I don’t need it always you never know when you might need to write something down. I’ve bought at least seven as gifts for the precious people in my life and myself.
When my girlfriend got into the habit of using a fountain pen I inherited (borrowed/stole) her bullet space pen. I LOVE IT. Hers is chrome and I realized MANY years later Fisher makes other kinds of bullet pens so I purchased a raw brass one directly from them. I like this one even better than the chrome (which is truly awesome and has been for over two decades). I felt bad about absconding with her pen and offered her little chrome beauty back to her and she TOOK MY BRASS ONE instead. It made me so happy she liked it I purchased another. Now I use the chrome bullet one in my tool box and my brass one for every day. Too bad they make dozens of models ... I might become a pen collector and I do not need more hobbies. Cheers.
Excellent episode covering an awesome product. I bought my first Fisher Space Pen after I saw the company highlighted on ABC Evening News. It turns out it’s the best pen I’ve ever owned and I love it. Thanks for sharing the “How It’s Made”.
@@fisherspacepenco.7622 You’re most welcome, thank you for making such an awesome product I can take serious pride in and use every day. The one I use most has a vintage cartridge in it from 1972. It’s a CH4 identical to the big pen The two men are sitting on in the 1966 fisher space pen debut newspaper article. If you could please tell me what year that particular pen was made I would love to know.
So I rescued an ag7 from the 90s (at least the refill was from 92). The body seems so much more elegant than the current model with the IMO garish engraving on clip (just don’t like overt branding, sorry. The understated engraving around the pen is in my eyes just so much more elegant compared to the clip). Also the body has vertical lines as decorative elements along its body rather than being just smooth. I am so happy I got this ag7, it has become my daily trusty companion. Oh and yes, the black refill still functioned but was on its last legs. I also have a Futura whose blue refill is from 85 which still works flawlessly (and the brighter shade of blue it has is very pleasant, too) All in all Fisher Space Pens have become some of my most liked, used, and recommended pens.
Great video. I have 45th and 50th Apollo 11 anniversary edition and now, I ordered one normal Space pen, and one Bullet raw... Great pens with great history. And especialy fo me. I'm big fan of space conquest, rockets etc. I knew names of planet in Solar systeme maybe earlier, than alphabet....
I carry one of these at work. I am a Line Service Technician at an airport. It has never let me down. I love that my pen represents a piece of history and I’m happy to tell people about it. I carry the Clutch because I wanted something easy to write with while wearing gloves during aircraft fueling or deicing and I also wanted something robust enough to deal with wet and cold/hot conditions.
I just have to test the pen underwater and in zero gravity; it has passed all other tests! This is weirdly crazily well made. I feel proud for purchasing it while I was 20 years younger...I want to have other models, but I've been waiting for mine to stop working and it seems it won't happen... I didn't like it at first for fast writing while I was in college because it felt heavy and made more noise than my G2 Pilot pens. After I started working, this was my best and most durable pen; I dropped, used it to write in crazy angles, and used in freezers and temperatures above 110 F degrees. While my workmates' pens suffered and stopped working, mine just kept going. I have the AG7 Space Pen; my director has the black bullet and he does not care about any other pens lol
I had my novel published 5 years ago, and I wanted a good pen 🖊 a pen a writer would carry around. The options are limitless. However I settled on the AG-7... best pen I have ever owned, people still ask me about it wherever I go. I recently decided that I want an “every day” pen, not to replace my AG-7, but one I can just throw in a bag 💼 or suitcase. I settled on the click-o-matic all metal in matte black... I’m completely sold on Fisher pens, they are the only pens I use now - nothing else compares in feel, quality and reliability. I’m definitely going to be ordering more pens.
I bought one of these on my trip to the Kennedy Space Center back in April, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with it. Incredibly well made, and with a flawless chrome polish. Absolutely incredible little piece of engineering.
I’ve been using these for years and absolutely love them. My favorite is the X-750. I would love to see you guys come out with a raw brass version. I think it would sell really well, maybe even better than the raw brass bullet pen you have (which is also cool). Just a thought.
I received a bullet space pen as a birthday gift a few years ago and it still writes to this day no problem! I absolutely love the history of the space pen. It's really nice having a piece of history with you at all times. Just ordered the original space pen, can't wait to try that version out! 🪐
Oh yeahbl you'd be surprised how many people know what a Fisher space pen is... but just to let you know it's BEEN getting super popular over the past 5 years... especially the bullet pen which was seen in this video! because it's very small and has gained a huge following in the EDC Market for everyday pocket carry.. Cheers
The pens are a steal for us, I have a Cap-O-Matic and the top bulge is a stylis that works really well also a special edition is just over 12 dollars so really great deal
I wonder if Alan Shepard had one of the pens, while he was on the moon, in 1971. I know he had some golf balls & a modified club, to hit probably the best golf shot ever made! Also, I wonder if the pen writes on the moon, in the vacuum of space. I know it writes in zero gravity. I bought a fisher space pen a couple years ago & like it. My fave pen in my collection!
ShutUpAndy We actually have made a pencil, www.spacepen.com/search.aspx?find=Futura and we also have a Multi-Action pen that has a pencil function too www.spacepen.com/Q4-multi-actionspacepen.aspx.
I have doubt actually: Does making the refills out of metal like you do and Parker does, does it help in any way? Does it help the environment or is it environment or is counter-productive? Or does it make no difference at all? Does it make the refill reusable and fisher somehow gets hold of the refills and uses it again? Also, since the cartridge is pressurized, should it mean that under normal circumstances i would need less pressure to write in comparison to other ball point pens? Should it be much smoother in comparison to other ball points?
It is a great pen. Just do not drop it while the tip is out. I had mine dropped to the floor while the tip was out and it hit the floor with the tip head on . The mechanism stopped working and the mechanism was not functional after that. I contacted the customer service about it and they were like "that's too bad, you can buy another one if you want a one to work". Well I have the same pen 3 years later but i close the action by pressing the button and slamming the tip to the paper.
Wanted to pick up either a AG7 or a CH4 (or both), but guessing inflation since 2019 has hit these as well....$90 for a CH4 or around $120 for a AG7 is a bit too rich for my blood. Apparently these were about half that price or less a few years ago.
Now that's what I'm talkin about I have 4 bullets in Chrome or patterned chrome .. one bullet in Black... and 1 X mark in Chrome. I just like the original chrome color for a pen.. What am I missing...what is the name of the original one?
Andrew E. It's our M4RAW Cap O Matic, we currently out of stock. But here is one of our resellers, www.ebay.com/itm/Fisher-Space-Pen-M4RAW-Raw-Brass-Cap-O-Matic-Ballpoint-Pen-/292664441340?hash=item442428f9fc.
Now I can finally write on paper in dip it into chemicals in my chemistry class and it'll still be there (probably, hopefully). This would be good too use as a prank though.
Gabriel Tobing It may be able to write underwater, but it isn’t designed for more dense or less dense liquids than water; it also certainly isn’t resistant to corrosive chemicals. TL;DR Those are terrible ideas.
Because if a pencil's lead breaks it will float away, become almost impossible to catch it, and might be an actual hazard if it gets caught in some equipment or puncture something under all these Gs on reentry.
