Fisher Cap-O-Matic Pen Thoughts

I've had this pen for a few years now, but for some reason, I never have talked about it much. Despite it not getting much use, it's one of my favorite pens I own. It's a very simple pen that won't break the bank. I would recommend it if you're looking for a pen that can write in many different conditions.


Like all of Fisher's pens, the Cap-O-Matic is great quality. I believe all their pens are made in the USA, so you're getting a high quality product. I've had no issues with mine at all.

The design is very simple. The entire pen is smooth, which I really like. It's sometimes nice to have a machined grip area, but honestly it's not necessary on this pen. The pen is a clicky, and the clicky is surprisingly quiet. The clip is made of the same metal as the body and seems pretty sturdy.

The writing experience is pretty nice. The pen is extremely comfortable to write with. The Fisher refills are great, because they're waterproof, can write upside and in space, and all that crazy jazz. It's probably not necessary for most of us out there, but it's nice to know the possibilities are there. I like how the Fisher refills write. I've found they take a little more pressure to get the ink flowing nicely. They're not the most amazing refills, but they work decently enough. The pen has a nice weight to it. It's not too light and not overly heavy.

Honestly, I think that's about all that I can say about this pen. It's a simple pen, so there's really not much Fisher could have messed up. I like it a lot, and I'll probably throw it in my survival bag for those times when I might need waterproof ink. For $10, you might as well pick one up. You'll get the great Fisher refills in a quality pen. I do recommend it for EDC. Thanks for looking!
