Did any of these pens surprise you? Let us know in the comments which one you would use!
The bestie tip one was so obvious yet so smart.
This channel tickled me
Something not covered that would be important to me - which pens are recommended for left-handed writers? I live a life of smudged ink.

@@JetPens YOU just earned a Subscribe and Follow. This is great!
Do I need any of these pens? No. Do I want more than one of them? ABSOLUTELY YES!
How often you lose a pen? A lot
How many you need? A lot
Like them cheap? Yes!
Thx for the perfect counter for their clickbait
😂so true though.
I liked only the highlighters pretty much, but I want to try some others too
do i want ALL of them? ABSOLUTELY YES
Yeah. Same. Do I need any of these? Of course not! Will I go on a rabid shopping spree when I am only trying to buy one pack of Gasne paper and end up with every pen sold because I can't control myself? ABSOLITELY!
The Kokuyo and Sunstar highlighters look awesome, they’re the kind of thing that makes me want to take very aesthetic notes, but when i actually take notes for class it’s very quick messy writing lol.
Same! I would bring a variety of pens and colors and different things for notes and always end up just using a pencil to quickly jot down as much as I could during lectures.
yeah lectures are material dense and they go fast. i like to take notes in my rocketbook with erasable ink and transfer those notes to kokuyo campus loose leaf, and add that to my binder of notes. it’s a good way to review too since i’m organizing the messy notes into what makes sense for me! after i’m done i can erase the messy notes and repeat the process lol
The messy notes are the first iteration. I take my notes from class and rewrite them later at home the way I’d like them to look. It makes me happy to look at them, allows me to draw diagrams or pictures or memes to help understand the material, and helps with memorizing the info since I’m writing it twice in my own words. Highly recommend!
I use 4-color pen (RGB+Black).
I don't even bother to take out my copy, just scribble down whatever i need on book directly
My dad bought me a Fisher Space Pen when I graduated high school. I used it through college and in my jobs afterwards. I've never needed to ask to borrow pens or try to draw zigzags to get the pen to start writing. They may be pricey, but considering I haven't needed to buy any other pens since (besides maybe a pack of refills) means I've probably saved a lot of money, and frustration, on other pens.
Just curious, how often do you have to get a refill cartridge?
Bruh how do u not lose it
@@Kneeslid3 maybe cause if you don’t invest in something and you just get the cheapest option or whatever’s around, you don’t cherish it enough to keep track
@@Kneeslid3 someone would have stole that shii so fast from me tho 💀
Bruh... I needed a lot of different pens like a chef with his knife set.
I’m a Fisher Space Pen girl. I’ve been using them for 40 years plus and they’ve never let me down.
40 years! Bloody long, never thought they were actually created before that!
I'm a hat guy, hahahhaha!!!
I see what you did there…….. never let you down,like gravity.
I rly appreciate the zebra blen, I been wishing for someone to make a pen that’s completely silent for so so long, cause I for one am so sick of hearing my pen all the time, having to listen to it, so noisy, always making a clatter, always whispering to me, telling me to do the Bad Things, imploring me to start fires and so on, why do the voices always come for me? in the night? why???
...you alright? ó~ò
@@Livy.3 he is now that his Zebra Blen brand pen doesn't whisper Satan's grand designs to him late at night while he slumbers
Thank you for giving me a chuckle xD
I was going to comment that the Blen was just somebody in marketing trying to justify their overpriced pen but, if it keeps the voices out of your head...
Also, thanks for reminding me. I've got to get my extinguishers checked. You never know when some crazy person will start a fire.
I hate it when I have to explain to police that my pen told me to do it with its incestint scratching.
Gonna be honest here, the most interesting thing for me was the cubic/thick ruler casing.
When drawing lines or cutting along a ruler you almsot always have a low and rounded edge, making it difficuilt to cut consistently and accurate. That cube could just be laid on its side for a nigh perfect cutting/drawing guide, the only improvement would be a transparent material.
or you could get a weighted object with a straight edge like a book, a lamp, or a tissue box. the world is full of (incredibly cheap and reusable) possibilities.
@@cabbage-soup yes, but in the mm range those tend to have a bevel on the corner, a Machined straight edge is something nice
i just wish it wasnt so expensive🤕
low tolerance machining
I really love seeing what kinds of things people come up with for stationary, especially highlighters. A very far cry from the standard fluorescent yellow highlighter.
As for me... I will wait patiently for the possible fountain pen video.
The dual tip highlighter sounds awesome! I would totally buy them. A highlighter with a black fineliner would be great. I am absolutely guilty of not highlighting anything in my notes because I am too lazy to change pens while writing but also too lazy to highlight afterwards...
I’m glad I got to enjoy a random video about pens instead of sleeping.
While I'm an avid writer, I do so with a mechanical pencil, but even that's a Japanese design that makes writing noticeably easier (Kuru Toga Uni-ball, which is cheap but worth it).
I just switched to this mechanical pencil and it’s fantastic
Don't really need a fancier tube for a G2 insert that likely cost 10x the usual pen it comes with, but I probably wouldn't mind it as a gift if that happened somehow.
I'd try all cause I'm convinced that stationary is a kink 😵💫
YES OVERENGINEERED FOUNTAIN PENS PLEASE 🤩 (tysm I love your videos 😉)
I love watching these videos to find out the unique features of pens I already bought. A lot of times I don’t bother reading the marketing displays in Japanese before buying, so it’s fun to find out more here
I love how I can watch a 6 minute video just about pens and not a 2 minute video about American history for class
Another highlighter with a window is the Sharpie ClearView, but they don't come in as many colors or a double-tip version afaik.
My personal favorite is not a multifunctional pen, but extremely common Japanese stationery. Pens such as Platinum's Pressman or Pilot's Doctor Grip are simple and inexpensive, but of very high quality.
The CW and T pen looks really interesting! I'm fussy about how a pen feels when writing though, and this doesn't look like the kind of pen you get to test out in a stationary store.
i didn’t expect to see my fav pen in this vid!!! zebra blen is awesome, especially for me who likes details/writing super small: its not too inky and you can write super super tiny with it. very consistent predictable performance its one pen i always reorder
I owe the cw t piston pen. It was fascinating, only that I played so much with it that the pressure differences created messed up the cartdridge and the ink spilled inside it. I stopped using it at that point. It’s a nice toy but hard to use it daily; also the round shape makes the pen roll too easily, hard to trasnport, doesn’t mingle well with other pens.
Pen Manufacturer: "Overengineered to Crazy Town"
The Pen: *Missing a Key design feature*
you guys should try the HAUSER Germany XO ball pen it's a ballpoint pen but it's ink flows like a gel pen a lot jetstream it is super affordable and has needle point tip ink refills which are thicker than others and are not only filled half way it's almost full they don't bleed through low quality paper also come in three colors red, blue and black they are the best ballpoint pens I have literally ever tried
I’ve used the same pack of uni propus highlighters since 2018 and they’re really cute! I bought them as a college freshman and now I’m in my last year 🥹
I’m seriously obsessed after seeing all these! Need all the stationary and pens ❤
Never even knew you could refill a normal ball point but this was pretty sick. I think getting the Bigidesign pen woulf be perfect as an artist since I could also use lead.
I love the blen. But the ballpoint pens I do have I never use, so there’s no point in buying it. No matter how much I want.
I have the Uni Propus highlighters and they are genuinely the best highlighter I have ever owned. If you're in Australia you can get them from office works. They've never smudged anything, gotten dirty, or dried out. The dont leave any skip marks or weird jagged edges in the line. I've used both the brights and pastels and they're so good. I used to be a loyal Stabilo fan after using every other type of highlighter under the sun but theres I would 100000000% recommend, I'd never buy anything else again.
Thanks for your comment, it's good to see one person leaving a positive review. I actually took a screenshot of the name to look up later because they seemed so practical! I absolutely hate when my highlighting goes "off course" and even with pastels, going back over leaves marks 😞
@@killiansirishbeer Same! It annoyed the hell out of me. The pastels in the Uni propus are nice and soft but still easy to see, and the brights are a great standard bright highlighter colour range. They are worth their weight in gold to me. I love having the pen end that you can circle or underline with but I also like to use the windowed end turned on its side to get nice straight lines super easy when underlining. I had a huge container of highlighters I threw out and just kept the 5 pastels and 5 brights of these and honestly I could probably narrow it down to the 5 pastels and be happy.
@@killiansirishbeer Also the slightly rounded edges of the 'chisel' tip windowed side is why you never get weird jagged edges or anything. No matter what you get super nice smooth highlighting.
That bolt-action pen looks interesting. I love that my Green Highlighter Sampler included so many of these!
Yes. Please do an over engineered video on fountain pens
I love my Tactile Turn pen, carry it in my pocket notebook everywhere I go and love the weight in hand. The bolt action is definitely fun to fiddle with too lol.
Highlighter with transparent tip is awesome, but I also learned to read at least twice before finding main parts of a text so I could highlight it.
Fascinating and impressive!
This was a fun video! Now waiting for the overengineered fountain pen eps heheheh! :D
pilot vanishing point
I have a Fisher Space Pen and I love skates over paper like a dream and when I post it, it feels great in my hand. A great pen for everyday carry.
And yes, I need over-engineered fountain pens lol.
Last year I bought the Uni Propus Window quick-dry set, and it really helped me avoid over highlighting & provided me a great way to circle/underline things. I love them, but I do wish that they were more pigmented. Otherwise it's a highlighter I recommend!
I admit that, ive always considered the nasa pen to be the epitome of overengineered american excess. But with your explanation, i understand now that it still has its uses. I didnt know they could write over grease stains or wet spots.
For the record, NASA didn't spend a dime developing the space pen. Paul Fisher spent his own money developing them, sent one to NASA saying hey check this out, and the rest is history.
Really
Im surprised the entire world doesn't know it by now, but the old joke about that pen and the Soviet pencil entirely misses the point. Early space craft were little more than death traps, the electrically conductive graphite dust from a pencil actually represented a small but real safety risk. NASA were just going to use pencils anyway, but fisher spent his own money on it, and then sold it to both space programmes.
I love the tactile turn pens
I have the Propus highlighters and they are my absolute favorite. I don't think I'll ever want to get other ones. The colors are lovely. I still use other highlighters because I simply own them and want to use them up, but if I'd buy new ones, it would be the propus. Or the ones that come with a ballpoint + post it's. those are cool too.
The practical ones that allow to write with the pen upside down and can write on wet/greased paper are perfect.
0:53 I use go diving andIi always wanted to take notes. Yes! I finally can do it!
You made me wanna get all those highlighters 😳
The one with fineliner doesn't come in colors I'd like (orange highlighter x black liner 🧡🖤) so I guess I'll settle for the other two if the shipping to Europe isn't too bad lol
I would LOVE a video on fountain pens!! 😭❤️
I have a Fisher Space Pen and it's amazing!! Definitely one of my favorites
Would definitely try the Propus!
Ball point pens are my favorite kind to use and the only one on this list I've tried.
I loved the Fisher Space Pen and the Beetle Highlighter ❤️❤️
I own several Tactile Turn bolt action pens--as a working engineer they're my favorite writing instruments!
The last one is useful and beautiful
The CW&T pen looks cool.
Love my Ultem Tactile Turn and Ti2 Boltliner
This is a video I didn’t know I needed
I have a writing supplies addiction so this is nice to watch
My fiance got me the Tactile Turn bolt action pen (the regular sized one) for my birthday in 2019, and had it engraved to me. Yes, it wasn't cheap, but I use the hell out of that pen. I love it to pieces.
(of course I love my fiance, but yeah :3 )
any girl who gets you that is definitely a keeper
@@yaqzanliveson he's a guy, but thanks
@@yamigekusu my bad, still a keeper
@@yaqzanliveson thanks, man
The Uni Propus Highlighters caught my eye. I don't like to use highlighters for the exact reason pointed out: I over-highlight too often. I feel like this is how all highlighters should be made. Now I might actually be able to implement highlighting while reading a book, instead of soling using a pen.
those windowed highlighters are GENIUS
Some of these products are hysterical
Can we talk about how perfect this narrator is for these videos? Fantastic voice.
Sharpie has a highlighter line with see through tips as well
Really happy with this video voice over 😆😆
0:50 I gave up on Fischer pressurized pens. I had a nice pocket pen that kept clogging or gumming up, even though I had hardly used the pen much.
I have the propus highlighter and I love it!! Super handy for everyday
Wow highlighting has come a long way. I've had the Space Pen since I was a kid and went to the Kennedy Space Center. Had a little Space Shuttle on it. Neat momento, neat pen.
I have a few of these
I actually love the Zebra bLen, and the beetle tip highlighter.
Hell, there's some pens here I wanna buy now...
Zebra Blen sounds great!
i kinda hope for more gel ink pen, i like those kind of pen
I remember back in highschool and college I "tend" to buy these kinds of pens as I get better penmanship and writing is way easier than regular pens. Some of these aren't that cheap but not really that expensive. And up to this day, I still buy some of these pens when I need one and if I can find one at a local bookstore.
which ones did you use/find at bookstores, i'm curious? were they expensive? i've never seen any of these in stores before.
@@cabbage-soup the ones that I definitely remember and use are Zebra Pens. Btw I live in The Philippines and there are other Japanese brands that I remember which isn't included in the video.
@@raphaelsylla876 what were they called i couldn't remember
Nothing beats a free marketing pen
Those highlighters look very cool
I wish there was the sound from the video in there as well to demonstrate the clicking action or lack thereof
I need that sunstar highlighter pen omg
I'm waiting for the fountain pen video!
The bigi design ti arto edc is the reason why i've got a pencil case with one pen body and 20 random refills. And i swear it works.
I’m always over highlighting, so that one with the transparent tip looks cool to me
Damn all of them are so unique and dope
I would try the BIGiDesign Ti Arto EDC if i could,because that would be so convenient
All i have to do is carry like 2 or 3 ordinary ballpens so i can refill it whenever i want to
I’d legit try all of them!
With that narrators smooth as voice I feel like I shouldnt be letting my parents overhear this video.
The machined pens get me interested!
Really cool. I had a Space Pen, but if I knew that's how it worked, I had since forgotten.
I have my eye on the space pen. I need something that will easily fit in my pocket but still writes well
Never mind the pens! I really love the bloopers at the end LOL
Very nice >>>>>> thank you
Haven't written anything for years but this video makes me wanna write computer code on paper!
The zebra blen looks like a perfect everyday pen for regular use
This is a video I never thought I would end up watching.
the crushmetric pen is neat
CW&T Pen Type-A looks interesting
Its literally so early in the morning and the first video I'm watching is this 😅😎
Wow, this video was short and sweet, amazing! One suggestion though, it would be nice to mention prices, since some of these are far more expensive than others.
5:04 such a satisfying image
Recently got the sunstar pen and it reminded me of this video. I remember thinking it was too much and i'd never use such thing. Now we'll see if that's true.
I suppose you could say that all of these writing implements are pretty dePENdable!
You could say they're indisPENsable!
I would try the machined pens and higlighters
i would totally try the precision machining one. i'm such a bad writter.. i just make a mess, however it doesn't happen as crazy as with the small lead pencils (not sure if that's the name in english, it's basically a pen that uses leads, not the regular pencil) so anything extreme as the precision machining one will help - i wish -
the English term you’re looking for is “mechanical pencil”
Finally! A pen i can use!
I would love to see the overengineered fountain pens video
2:52 it that a goddamn zero tolerance machined pen!
i have one of the double tippy thingies and its kinda cool :o
I love that metallic pen..😍
I love my Uni Kuru Toga pencils. Those are really clever and "overengineered" if any. 😍✏
