    Nobody on the first page mentions the Zebra F-402.

    I've been using these for years, and while I've never needed an external source to verify my assessment of quality, these pens bear the mark of a champion: Everyone is constantly stealing them from me.

    If I fail to clip it inside my shirt collar, I can measure the time between when I lay it down, and when it turns up missing, in minutes.

    I use a Zebra F-402. They're inexpensive, last for years, and every so often it gets a, "Hey, nice pen.". $6.00 for a pack of two.

  3. Zebra -- Cheap, reliable, refillable by Spoing · · Score: 1 · on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen?
    I don't want to worry too much about loosing a pen...though having a few good spares is quite useful. For the last few years, I've settled on this Zebra ball point pen.

    The mechanism is reliable, it is firm and compact, it writes cleanly for a ball point, and the ink is visible through the cartridge just in case I'm interested. As a bonus, few people I know use this model pen so it's easy to spot mine.

  4. Zebra F-402 by wideBlueSkies · · Score: 1 · on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen?

    Take a look at the Zebra F-402.

    It's stainless steel with a rubber grip. It's a heavy pen, and looks and feels more expensive than it is. It writes like a dream. I've been using them for 6 years now.

  5. Zebra 2-color by mattOzan · · Score: 1 · on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen?
    I love the Zebra Rubber 2-C. It contains two different color inks in one standard sized pen, each accessible by twisting the barrel in either direction. The entire barrel is "rubberized," though it is not overly sticky. The pen has a nice heft to it, and I find the ink flow to be very smooth (though it does have some trouble on certain paper textures, especially when writing at an angle...) The reason I bought it initially is that the barrel clip goes all the way to the top of the pen, so that when it is clipped into my breast pocket, none if the pen is sticking up and out of my pocket. This lets me comfortably close the flap over my uniform pocket without an inch of so of pen trying to protrude!

    I can't find the 2-C for sale very many places anymore, but Zebra also makes a very similar "Sharbo combo" which has one ink and one pencil lead inside.

  7. Zebra! by kungfooswade · · Score: 1 · on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen?

    Personally, I have an affinity for the Zebra F-301 and the Zebra M-402 mechanical pencils.
    You can have my zebra when you pry it from cold, dead hand.

    I think your link is wrong. Is http://www.zebrapen.com/ the site you were looking for?

  10. Re:Try backing it up daily, or doing searches... by cooldev · · Score: 2 · on Ideal PDA Feature Wishlist?

    Well said. Let me recommend the Zebra Pocket Pencil. It's a small, sleek, durable 4" mechanical pencil that fits perfectly into a wallet.

    I've been carrying this pencil and some paper in my wallet for about six years now, and it has come in handy more times than I can count.

    (I tried carrying a PDA, but they're all too bulky. I don't carry my cell phone around either.)
