Inertia pens

[CREID]

Has anyone made any of these? They sound interesting and different. I haven't seen the insides, so I don't know if it looks like problems waiting to happen or not.

I have the same question. People who work in Health Care always want click pens because they only have one hand free and cannot use a capped pen conveniently.

I would be interested in an update. Many wrote and inquired about it when it first debuted.
Here's just one of many posts; I like the way this pen turned-out:

I've made 4 of them and sold 1. Folks love them until I tell them the price. I go $60 for one. When you go $20 plus nice blank $5-$10 it kicks the retail up. I may try dropping the price next season.

I believe it's on sale in December.

Geeez, I didn't even look at the price. I just seen it and thought it might be interesting although maybe troublesome. The fact that it uses a mini refill kind of turns me away too.

I picked up a red and a blue one when I was in the States recently. Boy, they are pricey. Please tell me how well they stand up to use..?

I have one that I received in an exchange. It's a nice pen - the only thing I don't like about it (and healthcare workers won't like either), is that it does not have a pocket clip.

How do you retract them? (If I'm understanding them right).

I've given some thought to making a pen that operates like my gravity knives with a spring loaded push button to release and retract the refill, but haven't gotten around to designing one yet.
