Review: Great pen, compliments from people who borrow - However, the reality is that the Zebra X-701 Tactical Pen has proven to be an incredible performer that surpasses my initial expectations. It operates perfectly well under all temperature conditions, unlike many other pens that often get stuck or skip under cold weather conditions. There is no problem with ink flow as this pen does not need much pressure when writing. As regards the construction of the pen, this item is worth special attention due to its premium quality. With a matte finish made of stainless steel and black color, it seems quite durable while having enough weight not to be excessively heavy. Interestingly, there is one surprising element to add here, which is that other people often comment on the pen, admiring its appearance and asking about it as the pen has rather an unusual look. In summary, this Zebra X-701 Tactical Pen appears to be reliable and sturdy. In addition, the quality of its writing performance is rather good. This pen can be considered an excellent choice for daily use.

However do NOT buy this pen. Buy the F-701. The X-701 is twice the price, but half the quality, of the F-701. Also refills for the X-701 are expensive and hard to get. F-Refills are inexpensive and plentiful. **Q: Is there an option for a blue ink refill for the X-701?** A: Hi. Not that I’m aware of. There’s only black ink refills. **Q: Does anyone else find the X701 BP to write very dry ?** A: Yes, Zebra makes great products but this one sucks on many levels **Q: what does one do to write with this? push something? turn something? where is the tactical end?** A: You just push the clicker on top, like a regular pen. It is military grade drop tested. I have accidentally dropped mine on concrete and it is still working! All of my other pens including my Fishers are not military drop certified! On the description is states that it is 5 times more durable than plastic pens, I agree! I have been using my pen daily since October 21st and it has yet to fail me. I sign Bills of Lading and other documents with it and not once has it stopped writing! The only thing I do not like and I have contacted Zebra, is that the black finish is chipping off in places. I highly recommend this pen as a everyday use pen! Thanks for reading I hope this helps and Happy Holidays! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pen, compliments from people who borrow *by D***D on 17 May 2026* However, the reality is that the Zebra X-701 Tactical Pen has proven to be an incredible performer that surpasses my initial expectations.

Der Mechanismus zum Miene ein/ausfahren ist sehr leichtgängig und angenehm zu drücken. Der Stift schreibt direkt und sauber. Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt ist, dass direkt zwei Ersatzmienen mitgeliefert werden. Optisch finde ich den Stift auch sehr ansprechend. Was mir absolut nicht gefällt ist, dass bereits nach wenigen Tagen in der Hosentasche tragen der Lack abgeht. Da habe ich von einem „tactical“ Pen mehr erwartet. Vorallem weil in der Produktbeschreibung steht dass die Lackierung verbessert wurde um ein absplittern zu verhindern. Das schränkt natürlich die Funktion in keinster Weise ein. Ich würde den Stift nur noch einmal kaufen wenn ich wüsste dass der Lack besser hält, vorallem für den doch nicht ganz billigen Preis von knapp 30€ ## Frequently Bought Together - Zebra Pen X-701 Tactical Ballpoint Pen And Refills, Fine Point, 0.7mm, Black Ink, 1 Pen And 2 Refills (29811) - Zebra Pen F-701 Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Stainless Steel Barrel, Fine Point, 0.8mm, Black Ink, 1-Pack (29411) - Zebra Pen G-750 Retractable Gel Pen, Black Brass Barrel, Medium Point, Black Ink, 1-Pack Plus 1 Black Refill and 1 Blue Refill, Model Number: 49811 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/237670393-x-701-tactical-ballpoint-pen-with-bonus-refills-fine-point](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/237670393-x-701-tactical-ballpoint-pen-with-bonus-refills-fine-point) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
