Zebra F-xMD 24380 1.0mm Ballpoint Pen - Silver

This is a very nice pen! - It has a quality "feel" about it, and it writes very smoothly. I like the understated, all stainless steel construction, and the knurling at the pointy end - where one would normally grip the pen in use. Even though it is made from stainless steel, it is still very lightweight, and completely unnoticeable when carried in a pocket. The pocket clip functions well, and keeps the pen wherever you've clipped it. This particular pen replaces the Zebra F701 model, which has been a long-time favourite by "every day carry" aficionados, as such pens could, if it came to the crunch, also be used as a self defence tool. - They are certainly constructed well enough!!! Overall, it just gives that unquantifiable "nice to use" sort of feeling that certain items seem to do. - A great pen for the price.

Good quality pen, nice weight and writes smooth and consistently. Looks more expensive than it is. I have several of these and all have been great.

I really like this pen a lot. It’s comfortable to hold and writes really nicely. Looks nice too so good to take to meetings. Very happy with this as a purchase, highly recommend it Edit. I’ve liked this so much I’ve just ordered another one

My oldest Zebra pens and pencils are more than 30 years old and still work brilliantly. This F-xMD is a visual improvement over the F701. It feels the same, which is great, but it looks better due to the complete steel barrel instead of having that small bit of plastic on the top of the F701. Zebra refills are very good but you can install alternative refills including a Space-Pen refill (NOT recommended by me) if you wish. You can even fit the superb Uni refills if you create a collar out of sticky-tape for the return-spring to press against. If the steel was thicker I may well use one as my prime ball-pen instead of my expensive 'Wingback'. The 'Wingback' looks very similar but feels much nicer because of the extra weight. This is not a criticism of the F-xMD which is excellent in use and great value for money. I highly recommend it.

This pen is very nice. It's a stainless steel simplistic design with a diamond pattern grip and a deep satisfying click. It's weighty, which I happen to enjoy in a pen. It's very affordable and will last you a lifetime if taken care of. I've used it for a year, and I have not regretted my purchase. There are some cons however. - It's not an all metal pen as described due to the black plastic interior, however that's understandable as the pen would be unwieldy otherwise. - It's stock cartridge is a plastic Zebra tube that writes okay, but I took the liberty of upgrading mine to a metal jacket with nicer ink. - The clip can bend, and is a troublesome little creature to bend back. Just don't use the clip if you value your sanity. - It can be a pain to clean this pen, especially the diamond grip. I suggest using rubbing alcohol and a paintbrush for that part. - You may get assorted objects thrown at you for obsessively clicking this thing over and over in the office. Results may vary. How to remove the sticker: On arrival, it has a sticker that some have had issues removing entirely. There is a way to remove it without causing damage and it's relatively easy. Simply peel off the sticker, and you'll be left with some residue. DO NOT use DW40 to remove the residue as it may damage the finish. Instead, use a cloth and rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer (an item we all now have plenty of). This should remove it all cleanly. Fix for scratchy clicker: If your pen clicker starts sounding a little scratchy (If you hold the thing up to your ear like me; a total lunatic) try opening the thing up, taking the cartridge and spring out and giving it a tiny squirt of DW40 into where the pointy end would be. Let it seep into the mechanism a little bit, then turn it back the right way up and let it stand on a towel to drain for a bit. Reassemble, and it should be pleasantly smooth and clicky. If it sounds wet, it did not dry enough, let it drain some more.

Turned up quickly, good quality and very reasonable price.

I have exclusively used two writing instruments for years, the Staedtler Mars techno 2mm clutch pencil and the Zebra F-701. In 2018 when Zebra released the FxMD I slowly replaced all my F-701s, they were starting to look old and tatty. The F-701 and FxMD in my opinion is the perfect pen, strong and reliable, comfortable with a nice weight and cheap. I actually like using the Zebra F Refills, I find them very smooth and last me well. Although, I do swap out the refills for Fisher refills in the pens I use for site visits and outdoor tasks. I believe that the FxMD is the perfect pen for everyday carry and use. Especially for those that work in environments outside of the office; however, they are equally at home in the office.

New fx pen is better than the original 701, gone is the plastic black ring which holds the pen together at the top, the thread went on the old pen so the nib always pops out. New one is all metal construction phenomenal build quality extremely robust pen. Love it. You can buy 1mm or 0.7mm nibs if you prefer a finer line. But seriously either is good just a great pen that will take a beating. I use in a workshop environment to appraise vehicles, great for poking and prodding (vehicles) without causing any damage to the outer pen (don't use the ball point for that) fantastic pen overall.

Awesome pen. I replaced the refill with a Fisher space pen refill. Required swapping springs in/out of other pens till I got one that allowed it to extend/retract properly. The fisher refill is 0.0035" longer than the original zebra ink cartridge. Also, it was shipped in a plastic bag, not the packaging shown in the listing. There was a sticker on the pen barrel that when I removed it left a lot of sticky residue. I had to clean it up with 91% isopropanol.

Excelente pluma , buenos materiales

This pen is my definition of a great value product. Been looking for an edc pen for ages, and wanted to figure out what all the hype was about (these pens and the f-701 come up often amongst edc enthousiasts). Did not dissapoint, even compared to some of my Rotring pens!

Nice pen, thank you
