Tactical pens are a great tool to have on you. You can pretty much always have one on you too, be it in your purse, brief case, or on your person. It spans almost all jobs, including being a student. After all, it is a pen. My guys have used a tactical pen for a few years now, so I have claimed this one for myself. A tactical pen is much more than a pen. It is also a means to defend yourself, if in need to do so. The end of the pen has a Tungsten steel tip. You can use this to defend yourself easily, as well as, use it to free yourself from your car in an accident. This will act just like a glass breaker since it can be used to slam an attackers’ head very well. I slammed it into a piece of plywood several times without issue, to test it out. You can’t even tell I tried to rough it up. The actual pen itself is made out of aircraft aluminum alloy. That is what a lot of flashlights are made out of too, for comparison. It is very durable pen! It arrives in a plastic container, that is foam lined and reusable. It was recycled from past flashlights they used to sell. I like seeing things being recycled. The pen actually comes with a refill, which is not usual from the tactical pens we have purchased in the past. The pen writes very smoothly out of the box. The cap is a screw on cap, and there is also a pocket clip. The pocket clip holds pretty well. It is silver in color, and can be removed if you choose to. The top unscrews off, and then you can take the pocket clip off, and then screw the top cap back on. This is not as heavy as some tactical pens, but not as light as a regular pen either. You can take this pen on an airplane, which is good to know. that even there, it will be there for you. Overall, this is a well-made pen. It writes smoothly, and is pretty durable. The pocket clip is not the strongest of pocket clips, but if you are not rough on pens, like my guys can be, it works just fine. With the Tungsten tip, and the strong body, this pen can be trusted to be able to defend yourself with it.

The professional way. – Sohosparks’ Leather Journal, Lined, Extra Refill, Writer’s Notebook. https://cspierdowis.com/the-professional-way-sohosparks-leather-journal-lined-extra-refill-writers-notebook/ https://cspierdowis.com/the-professional-way-sohosparks-leather-journal-lined-extra-refill-writers-notebook/#respond Mon, 05 Sep 2016 18:16:20 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=5381 semper explorans journal set 1

My older son loves to keep a journal in his truck for work, and plans. He loves using journals like this. He may be young, but he has old fashioned tastes. He much rather use a notebook like this over regular, disposable ones. It definitely has a more professional appeal and look to it. It makes you stand out a bit in the crowd, as well. This journal has lined pages in it, and a red ribbon as a page keeper. Even the refill notebook has a red ribbon page keeper. I think that is a really nice touch. It definitely beats a book mark, which can fall out, or bending the page over, which starts to be an issue after numerous pages have been marked in this way.

The Journal is indeed 8.5” long and 6 inches wide. It is almost an inch thick too. Which, is a very convenient size to carry. It is so easy to change out the internal notebook. The front and back cover just slide into coordinating pockets, that’s it. No skill required. I really like the embossed design on the Journal. The back is plain, and the front has a Latin saying,” Semper Explorans”. Meaning, always exploring. Then, they top it off with the compass design. It was nicely done. My journal arrived in perfect condition. It had no odor to it. The notebooks were in solid shape. I am loving the fact that they included the refill. It really is handy to have. No worries about ordering any, any time soon. They state the size of the refill is A5. The books have 120 pages in each one. The book has a leather look, but is made out of pleather. All of the stitching on the book was well done. There is no odor to it whatsoever. It should definitely last awhile. They did a great job with this product. My husband actually claimed this set for his work. Overall, this is a well-made professional product. It would definitely make for a great gift.

I received this, at a discount, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review. – Leather Journal, Lined, Extra Refill, Writer’s Notebook, Personal Diary, Planner, Organizer, Flat, Compass, Embossed, Writing Notes, Men, Women, Softcover, Ideas, 6 x 8.5, A5, Medium, Brown

Archival ink! – Boshi’s Black Office Pens. https://cspierdowis.com/archival-ink-boshis-black-office-pens/ https://cspierdowis.com/archival-ink-boshis-black-office-pens/#respond Tue, 15 Mar 2016 03:23:05 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3007

We go through a lot of pens in our home. From anywhere from crossword puzzles, to homeschooling, to work. Getting them in larger quantities is key, but sometimes, you just don’t get a quality pen that way. We are really happy with this set. They write very smoothly, and are comfortable to hold and write with. You will get 12 pens in your box. They are black ink gel pens. I was able to write with them, and then run my finger over the words I had just written, with no smudging at all. That actually really surprised me. These are click button pens. Just press the top of the pen in to both begin and stop writing with the pen. These are also refillable ink pens too. The pocket clip is plastic, but it is a pretty tight pocket clip nonetheless. The center of the pen is clear, so you can actually see how much ink you have left. When you first get these pens, you will need to remove a little red plastic cap off the tips of the pens. This was in place to protect them in shipment. It just pops right off. The pen may be plastic, but the tip is made out of stainless steel. It is durable and well made. The lower part of the pen, where you hold it, has a rubber grip on it. This makes it very comfortable to write with. They are currently priced at $13.99 with free prime shipping. That makes it only $1.17 a pen, plus tax. A lot cheaper this way, over buying a pack of two gel pens at the local store. This way you don’t run out as fast either. They state they use archival quality ink. It is acid free, and both waterproof and fade resistant. You can use this to document your family tree, or your precious scrap book memories.
