- PM-701 w/Refill Permanent Marker, Black, Fine Bullet Tip, 1-Pack

The Zebra Pen PM-701 is an absolute game-changer for anyone who appreciates the reliability and boldness of a Sharpie marker but desires a more stylish and smoother writing experience. This pen has quickly become one of my all-time favorites, and I can't help but sing its praises. **Elegantly Stylish Design (5/5):** Right off the bat, the PM-701 impresses with its elegant design. It's a sleek and sophisticated pen, boasting a professional appearance that sets it apart from the typical markers you might find. Its metal barrel exudes quality and durability. **Silky Smooth Ink (5/5):** The ink in the PM-701 is a dream to write with. It glides effortlessly across the paper, creating clean and consistent lines with every stroke. The smooth ink flow makes writing or drawing a truly pleasurable experience. **Versatile Boldness (5/5):** If you're used to the bold lines of a Sharpie marker, you won't be disappointed with the PM-701. It delivers the same bold and impactful lines but with more control and precision, making it ideal for both fine details and broader strokes. **Durable and Long-Lasting (5/5):** The construction of the PM-701 is impressively durable. It feels substantial in hand, and I've found it can withstand the rigors of daily use. The longevity of this pen is notable, and it doesn't run out of ink as quickly as some other markers or pens. **Eco-Friendly Refillable Design (5/5):** I appreciate that the PM-701 is refillable, reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable choice. It's a feature that not only benefits the environment but also saves money in the long run.

I love using these as a daily carry item in addition to my other writing tools. The stainless steel body is sturdy and feels nice in the hand. Not too light and not too heavy. I keep one in my pocket all the time and also keep one in every room of the house. The refills are relatively cheap too! Start using these and stop throwing away full sharpies all the time! You’ll look more stylish too and feel better while you’re writing ;)

This pen is a smooth writing felt tip that gives an extra wide, bold flair to your writing edge while still providing a precise tip for thinner bold lines (0.7-1.0). It provides a very flexible stroke to express a noticeable signature or tight note taking. It’s not a cheap pen but the metal barrel makes it feel finer than a plastic Sharpie compares favorably to the metal Sharpie in performance . However, this unit includes a refill cartridge for almost the same price as the metal Sharpie which does not include a refill cartridge. The ink doesn’t bleed through on my 120 gsm Leuchtrum 1917 journal pages.

very good and very fast service.

About 7 years ago, Sharpie released a refillable permanent marker that had a brushed stainless steel barrel and cap and used refill cartridges. I had one and it was a beautiful pen, and apparently became very popular. Unfortunately, they discontinued it. This ZEBRA PM-701 feels like the Sharpie reincarnated. It has a brushed stainless barrel and cap and accepts permanent marker refills that are near identical in design to the Sharpie. The barrel narrows to a more cylindrical shape compared to the Sharpie, which was more tapered. But it feels very similar in the hand. So, if you find yourself wishing Sharpie hadn't ceased production of their version, try this one. NOTE: Sharpie just released a refillable holder that accepts a full size Sharpie pen; I tried it and it's chunkier than the original version and is painted steel rather than brushed stainless. I'd still reco the ZEBRA over it.

Got this marker on a whim due to good reviews and liking how sleek the barrel was. Am barista. I write/doodle on 100s of disposable plastic/paper cups a day. I leave this marker open for on average 5+ hours almost every day, give or take. It scares my co-workers who see it uncapped on the counter. First off- it looks awesome. Makes me feel kinda cool, and I like the weight in my hands. The ink dries fast after writing and does not smear/smudge (even on plastic cups!). The writing is bold with no feathering or bleeding, and the pen is smooth as butter to write with. I feel it is hard to find markers that have smooth/silky writing whilst also not bleeding/smearing from being too "inky". I've written on cups with condensation, which has killed Sharpies (or at least temporarily disabled them). The Zebra PM-701 does not do that. I (or my co-workers) have (accidently) dropped this marker on its tip a few times. It blunts the tip and makes it write "bolder" but still works very well. It is an absolute beast. It is a bit thicker than standard Sharpie size, so not the finest tipped pen, but not chiseled/overly bold. If you're scared it will work great for a few days/uses then dry up, or have a blunt awkward tip: don't be. Before I got this marker (remember, I got it on a whim and did not do much research), I thought it would be more like a fountain pen refill (stab the ink well and have it flood the tip). It is super easy to change- just unscrew the old cartridge from the barrel, and put a new one in! Each of the cartridges for these markers has lasted me over a month of constant usage. Keep in mind that's hundreds of hours being uncapped, writing on thousands of cups. Even when I change it, it is not completely "dead" how a Sharpie dries out. Rather it becomes streaky and requires more effort to write. I am sure there is probably a way to extend the lifespan, but I do not know how. Sharpies are very expensive, and I bought this pen on a whim to mitigate having to spend so much on them. It has done wonders for my wallet. If I had to take off a star for ANY reason, it would be that Amazon does not sell the refills at a fair price. I order them off JetPens in bulk for much cheaper ($6.15 vs. $3.33). Only caveat is the shipping costs/arrival times of the two sellers, if that is relevant to you (ex: JetPens vs. Prime vs. regular Amazon shipping costs) This is not really a fault of the product itself though, just something to keep in mind when getting this marker- you always want to keep a backup. I have not found it in-person stores, so refills are not as universal as buying new sharpies. I am addicted to this piece of stationary. Forced most of my co-workers to get this pen.

Very well put together and classy looking. I definitely like it!

I LOVE this marker! I’m a barista at a large corporate coffee chain and am required to write messages on cups. This is so much better than a sharpie (with the exception that it’s not retractable). The ink is nice and black, doesn’t dry out if I don’t cap it for a couple hours, and the tip hasn’t dulled after a few weeks of use! Highly recommend!

Excelente produto.

Says pack of 4, received a single one, at £18 is ridiculous. Was going to get 2 packs so I had refills for a while, very glad I didn't waste anymore money

Happy with product but only received half of what I thought I was getting.

Great price and great product. Nice even flow and classy design.

Je n'ai reçu qu'un des 2 marker prévu. Mon lot de deux n'était qu'un seul.
