Nite Ize INKA Key Chain Pen, Everyday Carry Full Size and Quick Use Pen, Red

The best pent to attach to your key ring and for daily use anywhere so you are not always borrowing or using a communal pen in a business. Hard to find but well worth it. Gets daily use.

So this is perfect for the key chain - doesn't take too much space or weight and is great for a quick note. It's held up well to some rough use and does show signs of wear and tear on the outside. Still a very durable and good writing utensil.Biggest negative: Converting it from the short pen to the 3/4th size can take 30 seconds or more and isn't intuitive.

It fits nicely in my pocket (I'm always needing a pen). Quality seems okay. Just have a hard time holding/writing with it since it's really small and my hands are quite large. I'll deal with it though since it's very handy.

I’ve searched high and low and have only found 2 pens I can wear on my dog tags or clip onto my belt. This and the “tactical” version of the fisher space pen. The latter being much more expensive with half the features. Pens are like lighters. It’s hard to keep one for a significant period without losing it. This solves that problem for me & If you find a better writing instrument that be secured to your person or gear that is also a stylus let me know so I can it. Love this pen and almost everything niteize makes. The only improvements I would suggest is more of a threaded attachment for the parts because although secure enough it’s made of light metal and plastic and from previous experience eventually (like years) it can losen from the cap and be lost. But never before I’ve gotten my money’s worth.

And this pen does not disappoint! I have it on my keychain & it is holding up very well! I have a number of the stainless steel clips & carabiners, and many of their nifty little tools. Couldn't love a company's products any more than this one! ❤❤❤🥰

I have been looking for a 2nd Inka travel pen for the last 5 years. I still have an original stainless steel one that works flawlessly. This current generation is not made to the same tolerances as the original. The body is aluminum, and the plastic doesn’t feel as robust. The rubber O-ring used for retention of the pen is of lesser quality. This allows the pen to slide out of the aluminum housing too easily. I can see it sliding free and being lost. The pen cartridge itself seems just like the original, writes well and functions as they advertise. Time will tell if it hold up like the original.One note I would add to the manufacturer is this: the original Inka travel pen had a titanium version that I highly recommend you reproduce. Keep a closer eye on the tolerances between the pen and housing so the O-ring can function as well as the original.

Picked my original one of this model up before the pandemic so that I'd always have a pen on me if needed. It works great - you always have a pen right at hand if you need to sign something, take a note, anything. It's still got ink in it though I've used it exclusively in public for years now. Even in wet conditions or if you happen to drop your keys, it stays dry as the seal snaps securely shut when you're done using it.In the time I've had it, have gotten so used to it - and refraining from unnecessarily touching high-touch items/surfaces - that I can't imagine doing without, which is why I ordered another. The keychain end of the assembly (rather than the "pen" part itself) is starting to give out and get loose, so it's only a matter of time before it disappears from my keychain. When it does, this one will step in.Recommended for anyone that has any need to write in public. Rather than carry a regular pen around and have to fish for it, this will be at hand.

nice pen
