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

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

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!

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

Good but I Did not feel it was worth the high price.

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.
