I would but from them again
I love the zebra pens and pencils. I just wish they would tell us when they ship them instead of just processing. Both of the purchases that I've made has done this and the previous one still says processing

Do not recommend.
Zebra makes some nice pens. This is not one of them. If you want a durable pen that will write anywhere, purchase the F-701 and use Fisher pressurized cartridges or use Parker cartridges to have a nice writing gel pen.
The X-701 is a waste of money. The tip is brass. If you knock it around or drop it the brass deforms. You will need to reshape the too you get the pen ...

Second-Best Pen
It writes dependably, but its line is extremely skinny. I prefer the Fisher Space Pen, which is apparently not available at Staples.

Great Pen!
I love how smooth this fine point pen writes! The lightweight body glides effortlessly across many types of paper. I appreciate how each pen comes with two refills inside the package.

Time for some refills, still no blue option
I have finally used my two black refills that came with the pen and ready to buy some more but to my dismay, there is still no blue option. Was hoping that in the few years since I started using it, Zebra would have come out with a blue refill. What's up with that, Zebra. Outside of that, it is a nice pen for EDC as it is very lightweight. The clip could use some redesi...

Hands down my favorite pen
Probably my favorite pen. I have so many pens, and have paid upwards of $50 for a single pen. This has been my favorite out of all of them. My only complaint about it is it does not come in blue ball point.

LOVED IT!
I had the pen for about 5 years, through 4 refills. Like the paint had worn pretty significantly. I work retail so it kept people from stealing it up until last week šŸ˜‘ I would definitely buy it again, but it is hard to find not online.

Disappointing construction
This started out as a great pen. However, after a week, the barrel surrounding the tip fell off in a pocket and disappeared, making it unusable.

Sad
Thought it would be a nice pen but just disappointed in the way it feels and the ink doesn’t have that feel when you write.

X-701 leaks ink
I really like the grip of the pen, but the ink cartridge oozes ink whenever it is not in use! Sometimes while laying on my desk I will return to find a glob of ink. I can't imagine ever purchasing another Zebra pen.

Disappointed
I’ve been a huge fan of zebra fine point pens using them exclusively for years . I bought this one thinking it would use the same ink & instead it’s a proprietary gel ink that blots & run dry quickly.

Not so Tactical
I had high hopes for this pen, especially since I work outside in the elements and my gear needs to be solid. The barrel size and texture make it difficult to grip in the best of conditions, so I imagine that trying to write in foul weather would prove much the same. I think a few design tweaks would do wonders for the pen, but for now I am going back to the Rite In The...

Great pen, writes on receipt paper
I like this pen a lot. Has a great feel, it fits in the hand well, has a loop for things like a lanyard,
The pen writes very smooth, and will work on receipt paper, which is not easy to do for even my f701 and f301 pens.
Over all is is a great pen, much lighter feel than the f701. I work outside a lot in the heat, and here in Florida the temps can be in the upper 90s, ...

Disappointing quality
Long time zebra fan, especially the 700 series. Rugged pens. The tactical version turns out to be plastic. Would not recommend for the price.

Nice Pen
My handwriting tends to messy. A good pen helps me to have better penmanship. It seems difficult to find a pen that is smooth and doesn't smear. So far it writes every time I use it.
I have lots pens that I need to throw out.
