The Most Loaded 6-in-1 Tactical Pen: Solves Other Brands' Weaknesses,Self Defense Tip + Flashlight + Ballpoint + Bottle Opener + Screw Driver + Hexagonal Wrench, 5 Ink Refills + 6 Batteries + Gift Box

This was a fantastic buy! And yes, they did solve many of the problems of other tactical pens I’ve bought. They engineered these well. Also, I found the light to be reasonably bright enough, especially for the price, and since being a flashlight is not this tactical pen’s primary purpose. I mean, c’mon! These will make great gifts.

this product has a good build quality to its weight it has cool functionality to it with different things connected to it. is has some grip to the product also and it is comfortable to carry for short amounts of time it has cool tool utility also

I have a pen which has an LED light at the writing end for taking notes during an office presentation when the lights are dimmed. I was looking at purchasing similar pens for a couple of EDC packs I'm creating for my adult sons as Christmas gifts when I came upon the Tactical Pen theme. I thought this was more of a novelty until I saw some companies are charging upwards of $80 for tactical pens, which is bonkers knowing how easy it ease to lose pens. Anyways, this unit caught my eye because it was a tactical pen with an LED flashlight as well as a window breaker. The multi-tool I thought was more of a gimmick, and after receiving the pen and looking it over I don't estimate it will ever be used.First off, the box it comes in is gift quality and the contents inside are nicely secured with a dense foam insert. The presentation with the lid off is really nice and anyone receiving this will think it's a quality product. There are batteries already in the unit, plus a spare set in the foam along with ink refills.The light is maybe 10-15 lumens I'd guess...bright enough to find your keys if you dropped them under your seat or whenever you just need to see in a tight space. Push the button once for on, again for strobe, and again for off. Since this is not a bright light, the strobe effect is really not going to do much to disorient anyone you shine it at and I'd prefer the light just turned on and off. But this is a "tactical pen" which means it was designed for defense and emergencies, so if a weak strobe makes you feel better then it's there for you. I checked both sets of batteries and they both function. Since the LED is not that strong I'd expect the light would last a fair while, possibly a couple years or more, if only used for short periods of time when needed.The glass breaker tip is alleged to be carbide. I don't have a way to check this but I'll just assume it's accurate. The housing around the carbide tip looks like steel and is heavy for it's size. The tip itself is very sharp...you could easily use it as an etching tool on metal or glass. It screws out of the aluminum housing and on the flip side is the multi-tool.The multi-tool really is a gimmik. I could see using the screwdriver tip, but how many screw heads are slotted anymore? They are usually either philips or torque and this would do you no good on those. The bottle opener I'm sure is functional (I haven't tried because again I bought these as a gift and didn't want the paint coating to get compromised), but how often would you actualy use it. The saw blade is completely cosmetic and non-functional and I would not recommend even trying to use it. If you did try to cut something with it the friction would most likely heat the blade up and cause it to bend, or worse, snap in half.The pen writes suprisingly smooth and even. I was hopeful this would be the case and wasn't dissapointed. I did not spend a lot of time writing on different materials or at different angles, but the ink flowed well and didn't smudge. It's nice that refills are included, and I believe they are of a common size that if wanted you could purchase other replacements which are higher end.The aluminum housing feel sturdy and strong. The pieces screw together snugly and have just the right amount of heft to let you know you have something solid in your hand without being fatiguing. The flashlight end doubles as the cap for the pen, which is a nice design in case you need to remove the light to get into small places (it's about 1/2' longer then a AA battery when detached). However, when using the pen you'll need to hold onto the flashlight/cap because it does not attach to the other end. I feel this was a pretty major design flaw as it could very easily be screwed onto the other end (over the glass breaker), however they made the diameters different so they don't match up and there doesn't appear to be any logical reason for this. Rubber o-rings provide a waterproof seal for all pieces the screw/unscrew. The machined aluminum housing is well constructed and feels secure in your hand. The texture would allow for a firm grib even with wet or slick hands. Overall this is pretty long...too long to fit in most pant pockets and definately too long for a shirt pocket. My plan is to attach these to the sides of the EDC bags for my boys so they have quick access to it if needed.Final Impression is I feel for $10 this was a good, functional product. Could it be better? Absolutely but for the money this is a good value for a multi-functional product that will be a solid compliment to an emergency kit, bugout bag, or EDC pack. However I would not want to pay more then I did. This does appear to be a knockoff of a product from a US company that sells for twice as much so make of that what you will (that company does state on their website they use Chinese manufactures to make their product to keep the costs low, and part of the agreements they sign is to give up their intellectual properity to China, knowing full well they will turn around and sell a similar, cheaper version...that's why you see so many rebranded options of the exact same product).

Was so much better than expected. This was a great gift for EMS week.

very good

This tri-Function Kubotan is a very unweildy pen. The "pen" comes in a nice sturdy gift box containing the device, ink refills, and spare batteries. It is made with strong, high-quality materials. Even in the instances where the parts weren't planned out properly or affixed to one-another securely so they wouldn't be wobblies, the materials were good.I've had this device for over a year, and it really only has two parts that are both easily usable and reliable, and out of an advertised six, that's not acceptable. Sections separated by *, for each part of the Kubotan.*The emergency window-breaker/pressure point tool/kubotan tip is very strong, and pointed, but thankfully not sharp. It could easily wear a hole through fabric if kept in a pocket regularly, and the textured grip will prove handy for both maintaining forward thrust in wet situations such as breaking a car window underwater, and gathering a valuable DNA sample if it needs to be used to defend against an attacker.Suggestion: Use the sturdy clip or a belt-mounted pen holster for daily carry and easy access.*The tool portion of the pen containing the wrench, saw, bottle-opener, and screwdriver is made of sturdy coated steel, but is quite wobblies in it's setting. I would not trust it to withstand any significant torque before falling apart.Suggestion: Maybe a little JB Weld around the base would secure it further, but I don't hold out much hope.*Pen is more trouble than it's worth, as it does not screw securely into device body for use, forcing the user to unscrew the pen from the body then find a place to put the oversized 'cap' every time one wishes to jot a note. Writing with such a short pen can cause hand cramping. It also prevents this pen from being used primarily as a writing utensil, as inferred in the description. Device must be stored in self-defense mode, making use of the pen function incredibly unwieldy.Suggestion: Use the pen cartridge compartment for holding matches, fish-hooks, or other tiny gear instead, and carry a pen too. The manufacturer could put the correct threading on the pen section so it can all go together in pen configuration instead, but until that is fixed, the pen part is better suited to being a storage compartment.*Dual-function flashlight has a solid-on and a flashing mode. When the batteries are new, the light is bright enough to find your keys or walk a known path or sidewalk at night in an area without streetlights.Suggestion: Perhaps it would be brighter if the led were replaced with some chip-style LEDs which are brighter and more efficient, but even then it would likely not produce defensive or signaling-capacity brightness.* In closing, it is an inexpensive base for modifications, if one has the time and skill, and it could become something pretty cool given some effort as it, it's worth the money for what it does properly.Despite the lovely presentation packaging, I wouldn't give it to anyone in it's current form unless you know a survivalist who is always bragging about their latest overdesigned gadget, or a DIY buff who would have fun customizing it into something truly worthwhile.Research the Kubotan for description, history, and techniques of use for this unique modern self-defense tool.All in all, I'm not upset that I bought it, but I wouldn't purchase it again.Suggestion: Spend the extra few dollars to get a better device that doesn't claim to do so much, but at least can uphold it's claims.

Great price for a great product!

Good quality for the price. The pen is extremely versatile and made to be very durable. I do not find the pen to be too heavy, the weight is good. The only drawback is that in order to make the pen safe to carry in your bag, purse or pocket is that you need to remove the screwdriver and then flip the defense tip inside the barrel. So, if you need to use it in an emergency, you’ll need to unscrew the defense tip and flip it back out. It seems like there should be a simple cap or cover for the tip so it doesn’t injure you. Also, the ballpoint pen writes very nice but it does not attach while using the ink pen.Overall, it’s nice, affordable and you can make do with it, but it would be nice if there was a cap to cover the defense tip and the ink pen could simply screw on to the top while writing.Update: I found an eraser cap to temporarily cover the defense tip while in my bag.
