Tactical Pen

Only one negative – glass breaker point makes it hard to put in your pants or shirt pocket. Using a pouch or bag takes cares of this issue.

Okay for the price. Was purchased for my husband. So frustrating to receive and the battery in the item was dead. Glad it came with two additional ones. Seems the supplier would check to make sure their item work before shipping.

Not sure how it will last, we’ll see. Feels good and didn’t try writing yet. What I do not like is it’s made in China. It didn’t see that is was. It was listed so my fault. You should change manufacture.

I own nearly a dozen tactical pens made by different vendors. The MTP-6 Tactical pen with flashlight is the best of all of them, hands down. The aircraft aluminum is very durable, the flashlight is strong enough to be useful for lighting your way and strobe-signaling, the tungsten glassbreaker point is effective for self-defense and breaking glass, the exchangeable tool component can be switched out for the mutitool, a knife, a firestarter or a whistle – and it writes like a charm. At $19.95, the pen comes in great packaging, with 3 extra sets of LR936 button batteries (which is unheard of in the industry), 2 ink refills, and a lifetime warranty from Atomic Bear (a great vendor). I also bought the extra tools and 10-pack of ink refills which are well-worth the few extra dollars they cost. This tactical pen system is a great buy and I highly recommend it!

It’s a nice solid chunk of metal, that is good. HOWEVER, a few things. I don’t use this often, so the batteries in the light lasted me 2-1/2 years. I went to replace the batteries with the ones they included, they all had corrosion on them. These things have sat in the original packaging in my desk drawer since I purchased them, there is no reason they should have corrosion on them. Some had battery acid leaking. Also, the pen refills do not last too long, no biggie, it is what it is, but just be aware. Other thing is to use the pen, you unscrew this thing in half to expose the ballpoint pen. There is nowhere to put the other half, If you are just jotting down a quick note, I guess you can just hold it in your hand, but if you are gonna be writing for a little bit, it’s very awkward to have the other half big chuck of metal with nowhere to attach the two pieces. Imagine pens with no caps if the caps didn’t fit on the back of the pen… you would loose the caps often… except the other half of this pen is an important part. The multi tool that is included is cheap and awkward. The screwdriver tip can be useful, but the metal is so cheap feeling I don’t even know if I would trust it to open bottles. The hex nut fitting only fits one specific size, i’m not sure if it’s a common size for some item i’m not aware of, but it just seems awkward having a nut driver that fits one very specific size without giving any explanation as to what its intended purpose is. And the serrated edge that looks like a 1CM knife blade is dull like a banana. I’m not sure of it’s intended use either. So basically you get a low quality flathead screwdriver out of it. And lastly, after purchasing after market batteries due to the corrosion on the included ones, the light does not work at all. 2-1/2 years and this is basically an awkward heavy pen that’s weird to use. If I was buying another tactical pen, I would buy something that doesn’t have all these bells and whistles that aren’t really functional and prone to break.

Edit: I was able to contact the seller and they replied even though it was Christmas Day and they are sending replacement batteries. Therefore, I have increased my star rating from a three to a five as I feel this was excellent customer service and I would buy from them again as this was resolved in a timely manner.I bought this for my husband as one of his Christmas gifts and he loves it. However, ALL the batteries it came with had leaked in the box and the ones in the tool leaked also. Very disappointing as he can’t use the light part until we buy more batteries

Nice pen. Strong. Looks tactical so if that’s okay, then this is how it looks. Accessories are cute. Do I need a bottle opener? Cute. Light is good, good to have. I prefer a less blunt carbide tip are, but I’m sure it will still work well. Pen writes very nice. Good deterrent and offensive weapon. Great price. Recommended.

I really wanted to like this pen but at this point I am on my last set of spare batteries and have stopped carrying this because the flashlight feature is so unreliable. When I first got this pen I noticed right away that it was very easy to accidentally actuate the flashlight based on the placement of the button at the top end of the pen. I figured I had to be extra careful but the light stopped working after about a month, and I really only carried this pen about once a week at most. I chalked up to the battery dying so quick the first time to the light being accidentally actuated when I put it away, but the second set of batteries lasted maybe two months, and once again I carried this pen infrequently and only used the flashlight when I let my dog out at night. The actual writing feature of the pen works fine and the glass breaker seems sturdy enough for an emergency, but with the flashlight being so ineffective I would rather carry a better tac pen with less bulk and buy a separate flashlight.

Got this as a stocking stuffer for my husband and he thought it was really cool and keeps it in his car. It’s got lots of useful features!

Seems well made and just as advertised. Exactly what I was looking for. It’s also fairly weighty.Couple of things to note, in case you’re considering this fine pen.1) If you miss the versatility of the Fisher Space Pen, fear not. The Fisher Pressurized Universal Refills will fit this Atomic Bear Tactical Pen. Break it off at the 2nd junction (they’re designed this way purposefully), use the spring already inside your pen, and take the little black endpiece off of the existing refill and put it on to the FSP Universal refill. If you don’t do that, there’s nothing for the spring to push against and the refill will just fall out of the pen. Voila: a hardcore tactical pen that writes upside down, underwater, over grease, in zero gravity, and at extreme temperatures with a thixotropic ink pressurized refill.2) The batteries for my flashlight were in upside down, and I spent a little time figuring that out. To get the flashlight to work, unscrew the light from the pen, tap out the little paper disk that keeps the batteries fresh, and make sure you put the battery pack back in with the label DOWN (toward the inside of the pen). Screw the flashlight part back on and you should be good to go.This is a fantastic price for a fantastic instrument. Even better with the best ink on the planet.

Arrived on time. Flashlight feature of the pen does not work. Disappointing.

The Atomic Bear pen arrived on time and looks like the item displayed online. It feels good in the hand, solid but not heavy. The assembled pen is about a 25%larger than the pens I normally use, but when I extract just the pen portion it is about 10% smaller. The pen cover does not attach to the other end of the pen while writing, thus it must be placed in a pocket or some other easily accessible place so that it is not misplaced. All the parts function as described. The box contained two pen refills and three more sets of batteries. The flashlight is great for lighting a key lock at night or shining on a path. It is not super bright or shine at a distance. Two clicks on the small button and the light goes into strobe mode. I have owned the pen for just a couple of weeks and have not exposed it to any hard use. Consequently, I cannot attest to ruggedness and life.

I liked the pen but ( always a but) the flashlight goes on once in awhile. It may jut me. Everything else is good for the price.

Nice well-built and feels pretty durable. The pen writes smoothly and the spare cartridges are nice compliments. The flash light is a good touch but I wish it was a lot brighter. Another feature that I like is the fact that you can rest your thumb agaist the flash light end for support when using the glass breaker tip and self defense. As much as I love it I wish the barrel holding the flag light could screw on top of the glass breaker when using the pen. Perhaps, this will be for future release. I would also like see it in a green camo color.

What I like about this tactical pen:1. It is made of high-quality materials2. It is comfortable to use/handle3. It has good features and multiple usesWhat I dislike about this tactical pen:1. In order to use the writing pen, the cap screws off but it does not screw back onto the other end, which makes it so that the cap must be either held or pocketed. This means that it is a very short writing utensil, which makes it uncomfortable to use in that manner.Suggestion to the makers of this tactical pen:Make the male threads on the glass breaker end match the female threads of the pen cap; this will make it so that the two pieces can be connected to make a longer pen and so that it will be less likely to drop or misplace the pen cap.

My dad loved it!

The item is versatile and does everything it advertises, as well as easy to carry. However, it seems I can’t find a way to carry that doesn’t inadvertently activate the light switch. The unit came with four extra sets of batteries. I have now gone through the original and two sets because of this, and owned a short time. Otherwise, good product.

I love this. Feel safe carrying this when I walk my dogs. I want to definitely buy more. Especially at night.

Good quality smooth writing

This tactical pen is high quality. The flashlight and strobe are very bright. As others have noted, it is easy to accidentally press the switch to turn on the flashlight. I rotated the clip on the barrel to make it less likely to turn the light on when in my pocket. Note: when I received the item, the light did not work. I unscrewed the light to replace the batteries (replacement batteries are included) and a small disk of paper fell out. This paper prevented the light from coming on during shipment, with the paper disk removed the light worked. I made one modification to the unit: I did not like the sharp exposed glass breaking point in my pocket, I went to the hardware store and bought a small vinyl cap (used for protecting bolt threads) that was a perfect fit over the point end. It only takes a split second to remove during an emergency.

So overall I do like this pen, but there is one major flaw that I just can’t get over that is making me go with another pen. But before I get into that, here are the pros.The multi tool works well and is pretty tough. Was able to open a bottle, unscrew some small screws, jagged ends can even cut and fray a bit. The flashlight is fine. Not the brightest, but as bright as it can be for the type of batteries it uses. No problems there. Screws in and out just fun, no issues.Here is the main issue I have with this. To get to the pen, you have to unscrew it into two pieces. The thing that is just too inconvenient for me is that you can’t screw it back together into one piece and have the pen out at the same time. In other words, if you want to have the pen, the cap has to stay off; it doesn’t attach to the bottom. That is just the only issue I have with this, but it is such a huge issue for me I definitely will be getting another pen. If that isn’t a huge issue for you, by all means this pen is pretty good from testing it out.

This is my first tactical pen. The pen feels incredibly well built and sturdy in the hand but not overly weighty. It comes neatly packaged in a box containing multiple ink refills and replacement battery cells. Unscrew the cap and the pen itself is revealed. The pen itself is very smooth writing. Unscrew the glass breaker end and the multi-tool is revealed. Here you have a bottle opener, a serrated edge and a flat head screw driver. The Atomic Bear pen also includes a two-mode flashlight that is pretty bright. The strobe mode can be pretty effective in disorienting a potential attacker.The one and only reason for the four star review and not a five star is the button to activate the flashlight. I normally carry the pen clipped to my right pants pocket. On more than several occasions I’ve looked down to see the flashlight on. The button to activate the flashlight is very easily pushed on by accident and will burn out a battery cell rather quickly if you don’t notice the light is on.Other than that, this is a pretty solid tactical pen, especially for the cost. I recommend it. Just check your pocket every now and then if you carry it on your person and make sure the light isn’t on.

Quality of material and great value for money.. exceeds my expectation as advertised.

I recently purchased this Tactical Pen – a multifunctional tool that has quickly become an essential part of my everyday carry. As a self-defense pen, it offers peace of mind with its sturdy build and easy-to-use glass breaker tip. But it’s so much more than that!The built-in flashlight is bright and practical, perfect for finding items in the dark or during power outages. The addition of a bottle opener adds a layer of convenience to my outdoor activities and social gatherings. Having three ink refills included is a thoughtful touch, ensuring long-term usability without the hassle of frequent replacements.What impresses me most is the generous inclusion of 12 batteries, guaranteeing that the flashlight remains operational for a long time. The pen feels great in hand, not too bulky yet solid enough to handle the rigors of daily use. It’s not just a tool but a reliable companion for various situations.Overall, this Tactical Pen is a fantastic blend of utility and durability. It’s an ideal piece of tactical gear that also serves as a practical gift for anyone who values preparedness and functionality. I highly recommend it for both men and women who appreciate quality tactical equipment.
