SWAT Pen

I purchased two of these, the SWAT and EDC for myself and wife. These were packed nicely and came with an extra ink refill. These actually write very well. Overall they have a very sturdy feel and the glass breaker point also works great at breaking down cardboard boxes. I did accidentally catch the pocket clip on my SWAT pen on my door jam and unfortunately it snapped the clip. I'm 200lbs so there was definitely a force behind it breaking. I emailed customer service to see if I could purchase a replacement clip and Isacc offered to ship a whole new pen instead! I was not expecting such generous customer service! It's good to know they stand behind their products. I certainly will be purchasing more for myself or as gifts! Highly recommend these tactical pens!

This pen is very robust and in a sense "overbuilt". The quality is there and will work very nicely in my work scrubs. The only negative is that this particular style would really stand out (in a suboptimal way) if used in the pocket of a dress shirt or similar garment. The atomic bear stealth might be more suitable if you need to be more subtle. However, this is all style and usage. The swat is a fantastic product.

Over the years I have purchased and used numerous types of tactical pens; I have also read and written various basic manuals on the use of the pen as an effective and practical easy to carry self-defense tool. This is why while browsing on Amazon when I came across this model (The Atomic Bear Tactical Pen) I decided to purchase it. Ther is no question that this pen is well-made and strong; however, I could not get the window breaker cap off to actually use this pen for writing, which was very disappointing. If you intend to just carry it as an extra self-defense tool rather than use it as a writing pen, you may want to check out this item. Rating: 4 Stars.

Everybody loves my pen and keeps trying to steal it! It's the perfect weight, not too heavy, feels good in my hands, and writes really well. Definitely worth the price.

When I bought this, I had no idea whether or not this pen could actually break glass for users not as muscular as the guy in the ad. I’m a chubby woman who stopped hitting the gym when everything closed down in March. Even then, I couldn’t lift much. My husband and I replaced our glass shower door recently and as we brought the old one to the trash room, I was so excited to actually have an opportunity to use this pen on glass. I wish I had taken a video. I put it down over a towel (pictured) to make cleanup easier. Literally the second the tip touched the glass, the thing completely exploded. There was a satisfying crackle as glass continued to break for minutes after the blow. I feel completely confident that this would be helpful in an actual emergency situation. The upper thumb grip looks like it would be painful to hold in pictures, but it’s really not and actually makes it easier to more quickly get a firm grasp upon pulling it out of your pocket. The design of the clip also helps with quick draw situations. I bought a Smith and Wesson tactical and the clips are ultra tight, making it difficult both to put on and withdraw. The thickness makes it more sturdy, easier to grip, and durable, but on the other side of the coin, that means it looks like a weapon. You’d have a hard time getting this past airport security. Atomic Bear has another pen that’s more slim and elegant that I intend to buy for travel and carrying on the go. This one will stay in my car in case of roadside emergency or maybe someone trying to jack my car. But I read through a TON of tac pen reviews before choosing Atomic Bear and this company is really the best bang for your buck and puts a lot of thought into their products. The free online classes could be a little better, but for a free class, I can’t complain too much. It’s nice to see how the pen could be used in real life situations. I do wish the instructor slowed down, explained form and technique for those with no martial arts training, and repeated demonstrations a few more times. It’s also pretty annoying how you have to watch a long, loud intro before every single class. I don’t think this is mentioned anywhere, but there is a Teachable app (the platform where the classes are hosted) where you can download classes and watch on the go. I only discovered this when I purchased another Teachable course. If you’ve been spending a bunch of time researching pens as I did (and I’m assuming you are, because you’re reading this), I’m going to tell you that this is the one. It’s a solid, no-nonsense pen. No extra bells and whistles that compromise the quality of the pen. It writes well, the cap snaps onto the back, and most importantly, it could save your life someday.

The ads indicate these could be taken through airport. When the item arrived, enclosed documents state the opposite. So, it's a nice device, just don't try to take it through a controlled inspection.

This Atomic Bear Tactical Pen is pretty dang awesome in both function and looks. It took me a second to understand how to remove the pen cap (getting it off the first time is rough). Once you get past that, it gets much easier, and you can focus on the function. The pen can write fine enough (as a pen should). It also is doubling as a reliable self-defense tool with a built-in window breaker that feels sturdy and effective. The craftsmanship is solid, offering a balanced weight that feels steady with use. Though I hope not to have to use it for defense, it’s nice that I can feel confident in it. The pen is bulky and clearly rugged, but it will fit in your pocket. The pen is a great value, and I appreciate that the pen can work as a weapon without having a sharp edge (the breaker is sufficient to bust glass despite this). I also appreciate the extra ink cartridge included. No matter what group of nerd you find yourself in (survival, tactical, self-defense), it will meet your needs.

Great multi use pen. Heavy duty design. They honor the lifetime warranty. After 5 years there about the cap O-ring fell out and the pen tip wobbled while writing, they sent me a replacement. Good pen, excellent customer service.

La penna in se non sembra nulla di che perchè siamo abituati a pensare ad una penna solo come una penna ma in realtà è bella, fatta bene, leggera, robusta, scrive molto bene e una volta preso atto che in caso di necessità può diventare sia un arma da difesa che un oggetto utile a rompere dei vetri...allora si inizia da darle il giusto valore.

Dopo un anno di normale utilizzo come penna, si sfila guarnizione del cappuccio e la penna non resta più chiusa. Provo a reinserirlo con i dovuti modi e regge per un po: peccato poi si sia proprio rotta la guarnizione. Ormai la penna non è proprio più utilizzabile perché non c'è modo di tenere il cappuccio chiuso fisso.

Bella confezione, molto curata ma... Alla seconda volta che ho tolto il cappuccio per scrivere, si è rotto l'aggancio. Praticamente il cappuccio non sta più attaccato, la penna è completamente inutilizzabile. Per scrivere... Non oso immaginare la solidità in caso di uso come frangi vetro o nella difesa personale.

Al terzo utilizzo si rompe la guarnizione del cappuccio, e di fatto la penna non è più utilizzabile perché poi con la guarnizione rotta non riesce più ad inserire o ad estrarre il cappuccio.che peccato e che delusione. Peccato. C’era tanta potenzialità
