Pen on a chain refill should be available as a regular refill. In spite of that a pen on a chain is a great way to keep a pen in my kitchen next to the telephone to taking messages and writing quick notes.

The pen is at a station where patrons for a fitness facility sign in. It is rarely out of use, but dries up quickly between uses, will skip during use or too much pressure will push off the end cap. It has to be replaced with greater frequency than a comparable product.This, in my opinion, is not one of Stapels better products.

    The refill is great it comes with the chain connection for ease of replacement. Our customers are much happy as they do not have to wait for the cashier to find a pen when it is needed.

          Used infrequently throughout day at a sign-in/out log - runs out of ink amazingly quickly - and unable to buy bulk refills - have to buy whole pen. Love the concept, but I'd rather tie a regular pen to the counter - this is a waste of $$.

            The chain security pens provides easy access to writing utensiles at machine centers. Pens tend to get lost, put in pockets,or over time generates a collection of malfuntioning pens to test & find one that works. The chain security pen ensures one pen is always available at a set location. With many employees across shifts, there is no need to lose time looking for or testing pens, nor constantly suppling. When the pen is empty, the refill allows for easy change out but snapping off the old and snapping on the new pen to the existing chain.

              We purchased several of the anchor pens for our production areas. Employees like the pens. Do they come in a non-anchor version?

                A:

                May I suggest the Staples item number 807998, Staples Postscript Ballpoint Stick Pens, Medium Point, Black, Dozen, which is comparable to the Anchor pens. Or also we have in our special ordering catalogue the SKU: PAP9580131 which is the FlexGrip Ultra Ballpoint Retractable Pen, and the SKU: PAP9680131 FlexGrip Ultra Ballpoint Stick Pen. To order these please note that you will have to call Staples directly at 1-800-333-3330, thank you.

              Does this pen come with a short chain on one end so that it can be attached to the original long chain and sticky tab?

                YES. The picture does not show the chain. I ordered 2 of these and both had the chain on the end.

            • Q:

              And how is this refill attached to the chain? The item 650499 is the mount, the chain, and the pen. This refill pen appears to be the whole pen. So how would you get the chain to attach to it?

                These refills will replace the pen portion of the anchor pen allowing you to use the same chain.

            • Q:

              I was wondering if you guys sold just the refill pen with the ballpoint? It appears my pen refill ran out of ink and I could just replace the ballpoint stock inside the pen as opposed to the whole pen itself. Or do you know which ballpoint pen refills would be compatible with the original Anchor Pen?

                These refills will replace the pen portion of the anchor pen allowing you to use the same chain. They do not replace the ink only.

            • Q:

              Just out of curiosity...why would you call this the Staples Anchor Pen Refill when it does NOT work as a refill without the chain? I purchased several of these for use in our office only to find out you can not get Refills? Now we have to "remove" the sticky tab on our counter top each time we need to refill this? How very frustrating!!!

                I sincerely apologize that the Staples Anchor pen refill does not come with the chain on the end. If you need the chain you will need to order item number 650499 Staples Anchor Pen, Medium Point, Black.
