Fisher writing instruments – easy to use in the most adverse conditions

The US brand manufacturer Fisher, based in the state of Nevada, was founded in the 1950s and produces ballpoint pens that can be used safely in extreme weather conditions, temperatures and other external influences.

In addition to the legendary Space Pen as an astronaut ballpoint pen, the company regularly produces new pens for the military sector, which serve faithfully in all exercises and maneuvers.

How to use Fisher pens

All Fisher pens have a pressure mechanism, with the integrated gas pressure refill ensuring constant writing ability. The Space Pens can be used upside down, underwater or in extreme temperature ranges, between minus 45 and plus 120 degrees Celsius, according to the manufacturer.

All pens are equipped with a classic clip that allows them to be attached to trousers, jackets or backpacks. The robust construction ensures that the clip does not break off in the heat of the moment and can be returned to its position under any circumstances.

Under the conditions mentioned, the ink is prevented from drying out and the pen can be used immediately after being pulled out. Replacing the refills yourself is possible with almost all models and does not affect the pen's printing mechanism, so it is advisable to take one or more replacement refills with you.
