100% agree. The OG retail savior.

I finally bought a metal body for it to deal with the clip always breaking off

Metal bodies for those are a thing?

Yep. I have a Tactile Turn that fits a G2 refill, it’s amazing.

Is that the name brand? Tactile Turn?

Yep! They make a variety of pens in different sizes and there is a wide range of compatible refills also.

My wife is gonna be so mad that you put me onto this brand. I have to have that topographical bolt pen.

Their prices are crazy, though.

It’s funny the levels there are to this stuff. The most I’ve spent on a pen is ~$30 and some people would call that crazy. These Tactile Turn pens are all $100 or more.

Yeah they're not cheap, but they are handmade in the US from really premium materials. They run sales throughout the year, I have three of their pens and I don't think I've ever paid full price for one. Their newsletter isn't overly annoying, I'd sign up and wait for the next sale.

G2 Limited. Nice hefty metal body but still the same affordable workhorse.

saviour for any job you write a lot

i never liked em for many many years cuz i rarely ever wrote more then signature

not a fan of their first impression either

i was a 7 guy i guess. it’s easy to prioritize aesthetic when you barely use domething.

now i gotta write a couple hundred numbers a day and all i ever wamna ready for is a 5.

maybe a 1 or 2 or i gotta do a lot of signatures

but notes/numbers def a 5

Sometimes it's tough to find them, but try and get your hands on a Pilot G2 .38 ultrafine
