Writes upside-down or on dusty or wet paper, thanks to the refill which is pressurised every time you click the pen to extend the tip. Chunky elastomer barrel is easy to grip in cold or wet conditions; big strong wire pocket clip pivots out nearly 90 degrees to attach firmly to just about anything; and there's a useful loop on the top of the barrel to let you attach the pen to a lanyard or keyring. The refill is normally unpressurised, but when the button is pressed to extend the tip, the internal mechanism is primed with enough high-pressure air to power the refill for up to 150m of writing. A window in the barrel shows the patented piston at work - a pen with great 'fiddle-factor'. Compact but easy-to-handle design is approx 12cm long and 12mm diameter. Fine ballpoint refill contains black waterproof ink. Refill with Tombow BR-SF refill. The ballpoint pen masters easily also unusual situations such as writing overhead, in dusty locations or on wet paper. The AirPress Pen is the ideal companion for outdoor, hobby, school and professional use. The rubberized grip causes a comfortable and safe hold even the fingers are wet or one wears gloves. One can fix the AirPress Pen with its tough metal clip at the bag, pocket or working clothes. Awarded with the reddot design award 2010. Ball diameter: 0,7 mm. Refillable.
The Tombow AirPress is designed for anyone needing a reliable pen that can write in challenging conditions, like outdoors or on the go. Its key benefit is its ability to write upside down, on wet, or dusty surfaces. Keep in mind that while the ink is waterproof, the pen requires Tombow BR-SF refills.
