Field Guy Geeks about Pens
Oct. 20th, 2009 05:50 pmThe Fisher Space Pen will work at temperatures up to 150 degrees f. It will write upside down, in zero gravity, and in the vacuum of space.
I couldn't care less.
What I do care about is that it will write in the temperature range from around zero to 45 degrees f, within which standard ballpoint ink goes so stiff that you could write just about as well with an icepick. The Fisher will write in the cold, and it will write in the wet too; it doesn't tear damp paper as often as a 0.5 pencil does, either.
We are getting to the cold and wet part of the year, so the Fisher gets a new refill today.
