True Utility Tu46 Telepen Telescopic Pen Silver

Excellent little pen which is very handy to have around all the time. It takes up very little space on your key ring and is no longer than the average key. Have read other reviews which state that the pen becomes detached easily and can be lost but I have no problem at all with it. Sadly, since writing this review I too have lost the pen as it became detached. I have therefore downgraded my review from 5 stars to 3. Pity they can't redesign it to have the pen screw on for more safety. I would certainly buy another one when they did. ***** Since this review I contacted the manufacturer and got them to send a new pen. They have solved the problem and now I have not lost the pen since. It now qualifies for a 5* rating rather than the 3* I gave it before.

I bought this item because i was fed up of looking around for a pen when i needed one most. its a brilliant idea and because its so small , it looks like a normal keyring. most people are impressed when they find out that its a pen. I would recommend this :) .

A very good concept, easy to add to keys, like these wee handy type things, particularly when traveling. It does come with spare ink tabs, that you stick inside. It really is the 007 of pens, just make sure to get it back if someone borrows it. <b<Update</b>: After much occasional use over an extended amount of time (since date of 1st purchase), have found this item to be of excellent quality and very durabe. Have not yet needed to to change or replace any ink as of yet. The telescopic mechanism remains steadfast. As this item is very small ,it's best to take good care of it so that it won't ever get lost. Thus it's probably worth tethering onto a lanyard or key-ring by string so that it doesn't get out of sight. I.e. (Repeat) Don't ever lend to anyone. Imagine in 50% of cases whereby you'd lend a pen to someone that may not return it by accident, normal distraction or otherwise.

After losing four of these in the past four years, I think it's sadly time to conclude that they don't really serve their purpose. The cap clicks on and off, and after using the pen for long enough or so the grip gets weaker and eventually it'll be loose enough to fall off your keyring without you realising. And if you're keeping your keys in a pocket, you'll probably lose the pen at that point without even noticing. This still seems to be the smallest, easiest-to-carry pen on the market, and if you don't mind keeping a fresh backup around for when you lose the first one, it's a great way to always take it for granted that you'll have a pen on you. I've since given up on storing them on my keyring and just keep one retracted (with no cap) along a corner seam of my wallet, which isn't ideal, but it's the best I've managed.

I searched for keyring pen and this looked the best solution. However the pen justs clips on the keyring and becomes eassily detatched. The cap should be screwed on. I wanted this to use as an ocaisional pen when nothing else was available. It didnt matter to me that it was quick release - i just want a pen that works and stays attatched to your keys no matter what. Also the pen is very uncomfortable to use because where you hold it is very thin. I could live with this if the pen stayed attatched. It would of been far better to have the nib of the pen at the fat end so it would feel like a normal pen. If the company reads this and puts in place my ideas this would be perfect. Its a shame a good well made product fails on a simple design flaw. One star may seem harsh but I bought this because I was always looking for a pen. I gave up looking for this pen a long time ago. For a long time I just had the pen lid attatched to my keyring as a anoying reminder of the pen I lost.

It's even better than what I had in mind when I decided to look for keyring pens. I'm the sort who likes to keep as many useful things at hand as possible, so this is really perfect for me. Still haven't figured out how to open it to put in the three free ink refills, but I don't need to right now - the one I have is doing its job just fine. The pen is quite secure in its place on the keyring, and I'm sure it's not going to fall out and get lost on its own accord. It comes with black ink, which is great, since I'm not big on blue ink. It can extend to twice its folded length - that is, 2" to 4". One of my key worries with the product was its durability. However, I've found that it's perfectly strong enough to withstand the stress it may encounter in everyday life. Folded, the thickness of its shell is great enough that bending it would be no easy task. Even when extended, it feels quite robust, being made from stainless steel, and it's probably under the protection of your hand in that case anyway. Overall, it's a great little thing to have on your keyring. Worth the money. You can lose it if you happen to accidentally drop it whilst it's detached, of course, but the product itself is fine.

I bought this product because I work at a cinema and pens are always going missing. This is a great idea for me to attach to the belt loop on my trousers and I will have a discrete pen with me where ever I go in the cinema. Without it feeling uncomfortable in my pockets or being with out a pen completely. Comes with 3 additional refill 'cartridges' that seem like the normal insides of a biro but miniature. It may be possible to make your own refills. Not sure if you can buy refills for this product on Amazon. Oddly enough it came presented in a splash box. I think this might be because the supplier had a lot of these in stock and had to find a way to put it to good use. I ordered this at 4AM 16th JAN and it had arrived the next day by mid-day even though I selected Free Delivery. Kudos! Other reviews made me anxious about spending this amount on this pen for fear of it falling off. This fear was unfounded. The pen fits snuggly into its 'clasp'. I really would reccommend this product to my friends. ^_^

Dieser Stift ist einfach toll! Ich benutze ihn zum Geocaching. Immer wenn ich irgendwo unterwegs bin und nach einem Cache suche, habe ich sofort einen Stift dabei. Leider war es gestern dann in Hamburg vorbei - aber nach 6 Jahren ist das wohl ok. Bin nun grade auf der Suche nach Ersatz-Minen. Leider scheinen 3 Stück beinahe genauso teuer zu sein, wie ein neuer Stift mit 3 Ersatz-Minen! :-D Naja, dann habe ich schon ein prima Geschenk für den Nächsten!

Excellent product. Great quality.

Everyone has their first review, I guess this in mine. This is a terrific product: - Always have a pen with you since you always have keys - Don't need to take the pen off they keychain, the pen securely snaps in and out of it's cap (just the cap is attached to the keychain) - Pen Keychain is small, smaller than my car key - Pen is about full sized when extended - Feels solid, I disagree with other reviewers that it feels flimsy...it's much more sturdy than an antenna - Comes with three free black refills Look, you're not going to use this as your primary pen, that's obvious. But I've found I've used it quite frequently because there are lots of times, especially with everything being digital, that I don't have a pen. I had actually bought three and my only complaint is that one of the three did not extend the last section of the pen (no matter how hard I pulled). But even without that section, it was plenty long enough to comfortably write, so I did not bother returning it.

J'en ai un depuis plusieurs mois accroché à mon porte-cles. Très pratique. Dépanne bien. Je trouve qu'il se vide rapidement. Heureusement livré avec 2 autres recharges.
