The plastic version SpaceOmatic or Cap O Matic have certainly gone up in price. Cheapest I can find at the end of 2024 is $16. Worth it still though.

yeah this wasnt that obvious my brother was opening it without removing the stick on top & always made a wierd cracking noise haha i was like aint no way an old women can open this you must be doing something wrong & it felt like i had to use so much force that i was scared i would brake it thx for the informative video

I have a Lamy studio. It doesn’t have the grip that people adore, but it is more substantial. Mine came with a converter.

Best take away for me would be the periodic use of alcohol wipes as a maintenence step for all BP's. Cheap,easy, and may prevent future issues. But, sometimes you get bad apples, nothing works..so be it! The ball itself might be the culprit. "...the fire destroyed the kitchen area,owner said to have been trying to reactivate ballpoint pen with blowtorch. Alcohol was a factor. In other news...."

You finally took my heads up to check out the PROMARX MegaBold 1.6mm 😏

Can you do a ball point pen tier list?

Excellent assortment of pens for the yearly wrap up. Thanks for the share, Sal....That was 25 minutes very well spent. Hoping that you and yours have yourselves a most awesome Christmas. Will catch you on the next one!

M8 can you compare lrp5 and signo 307 0.5mm, btw try. Izeee 4in1 its cheap and vfm

Back in 2017 when everyone was getting into fidget spinners as a new 'thing', or fad, I had one just to see what they were all about.. i'm not adhd so my attention isnt drawn to stuff that keeps my hands busy like that... The bearings were stainless steel and started to go out after sitting for a bit.. Very crunchy... Not well made... So I went on Amazon and got a pair of 2 608 ZR02 full ceramic bearings by VXB, for $10, and the thing would spin super fast and for quite a long time. I was very impressed what a difference ceramic vs steel made. That was my first exposure to ceramic bearings.

Totes love the scribbles ❤ it’s the first thing I do when I pick up a pen … sorts out the good bad and ugly straight up 🤩 happy Christmas and look forward to more videos 🎄

My tried and true method is to put the end of the pen in my mouth and suck on it like a straw. It seems to pull enough ink down to get things writing smoother again.

you vacuum and mop ur house daily?

Happy Holidays to you and your family. I think my go to pens this year have been in no particular order the Schneider slide ballpoint, the Dr. Grip Center of Gravity and the Bic Velocity 1.6mm. I don’t mess with the Uni Jetstream anymore after having issues with their pens drying up on me even though they would have half a cartridge of ink left over. That’s become annoying. But if you find one that don’t have that issue they’re awesome

You’re the best. Absolutely love your viewpoint. Currently rocking the Uni Kuru Toga KH metal as my daily. Pens just don’t light my fire anymore

Regarding the Sakura 3-color, I like it: nice minimalist design and the dark green seems to capture the current trend of "off-blacks"-basically black but with some color tint added (the Pilot ILMILY Nuance being the prime example: black + 6 additional off-blacks). The grip section looks like they took a design cue from corkcicle drinkware.

Been using only the Zebra G450 pretty much all year. What a pen!

Please, please don’t scribble, write something. It’s better to compare the pens.

I have the Inc R2 rollerball in blue and black. Bought it at a Dollar store. Interesting pen but considerable bleed through on my cheap notebook paper. I liked the color of the blue ink. Worth picking up if its at a cheap price. Amazon asking too much for it.

Dollar Tree is a main supplier of the Inc. brand. They carry many of their products. All for $1.25 a pack. They have gel and ballpoint, highlighters etc.

Nice!!!! But it's 2024 😂😂

Any advise if I put the feed bacwards and now it for stuck. Any advise?😢

I would buy it if it uses the standard g2 style refill

My go to is TR and the Midori is definitely my second go to. I get compliments on the TR paper by far.

I'll trade you a classic American button top ballpoint pen from a used car lot in Oklahoma with a four didgit phone number on it for that .

you just saved me so much anticipated headache

Thank you! 😃

lamy 2000 gets me

Its already 20h.. and i watched the video million times.. and i still cant open😢

you should make a video on the tombow mono graph multi

Tried Uni Jetstream, not for me. Skips a lot, fades ink (thought it was pigmented in the start). Zebra bLen is godsend. ❤

Great video, thanks!

This is by far the best explanation of how to sort this frustrating problem. Thank you!!!

The 0.7 and 1.0 Tips are the Best They make over 41 Different Colors for the 0.7 Tip While they only make 12 for the 1.0 One 10 for the 0.5 and 4 for 38mm

I came here looking to see if the gel ones were actually blue, as the blue ballpoint ones look too much towards the purple in my eyes. From what little I can tell from a KZbin video the gel do indeed seem more blue IMHO, and the ballpoint ones seem relatively purple, even though you say gel is "lighter" (or whatever word you used), as if it's a bad thing! I've been using (Parker branded) green and purple gel refills for the last few years to make notes, and I recently found a blue ballpoint I received as a gift and have hardly used (Jotter, Royal Blue, I like that it has no silver tip to the barrel, it looks far better I think) and was surprised that the ink (made in France, as was pen) looks almost indistinguishable (colourwise) from the purple gel on paper as it looks so purple, and it's annoying me somewhat! Interestingly, I remembered how much I love Parker pens and bought an oldish green barrel Frontier (?) on ebay to use for my green gel (to replace the cheap third party plastic barrel I've been using for years!), and the (made in USA this time!) blue ballpoint refill that came in that also looks more closer to "blue" to my eyes compared to the blue ballpoint refill that came with the newer gifted pen (as I said above, made in France). Is this due to age degrading the ink, or do the USA and France arms of Parker differ in opinion on what blue ink should look like??? For once I find myself siding with USA... 😂 Be interested in anyone's opinion on this, if you read this far!!!

Jetstream Edge vs Rotring 600 (click) ? 🤔

Thank you so much

My favorite Ballpoint pen is The uniball jestrem ❤️❤️❤️

I just got a kt pipe slide with the uni 0.5 HB lead and I can already say, I love every part about it. It feels so satisfying to write with and the lead feels smooth, doesn't break easily despite being extended pretty long, the "spongy feeling" when writing is barely noticeable for me but for me it's a charm I love. However, I'm hoping to upgrade to kt advance soon and it'll probably become my writing workhorse instead of ballpens. It's too cool to sleep on lol.

A 5 minute video that could've been accomplished in under 60 seconds.

Loved the Precise back in middle and high school. Got some of the Hi-techpoints added to my Amazon cart. Since they accept refills I’m curious if they make a “Pro” version like a metal body. Great review.

Confused between this and graphgear 1000 :') which one should i get ??

What happened to your voice?

Now that's a good click

Glad I’m not the only one who listens to classical music radio during this part

Thanks. Not a very intuitive setup. Always worried I'm going to break the red handle as it gets stuck sometimes.

Thanku so much! I'm here teaching at school and trying to clean up our mess but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to open up the vacuum! Merry Christmas 🎄

It's waterproof and now available in retractable, you missed the most important stuff. Energel only sell a few waterproof but gellyroll all colors are waterproof. Can't find that anywhere else.

Can i add glycerine in a parker quinck ink to use it for this pen?

Wow this pen looks really fun to use! Excuse my ignorance, but would the Uni SXR-10 refill fit inside this pen?

I like your channel, please try for new clip about new nibs
