🖊 EDC Pens Using Fisher Space Pen Inserts

I literally needed this so badly for figuring out how the breaking works, this helped immensely for figuring out what refill to get

We need this same vid but with pilot G2 inserts & sharpie S gel inserts.

I love the chaotic DIY style of this video! Loved seeing all the pens these inserts could work with. For the zebra, i wonder if you could just file down the end of the refill a little to make it fit? Very fun video though!

I was hoping there was a way to put a refill into the write in the rain pokka pen. Thanks for mangling yours so I didn’t have to mangle mine! A nice extension to this video would be to include pens that work with the fisher Parker-style refill (modified if necessary).

Hi Dominic! Please note that you do not need to modify the insert with electrician tape for Fenix T6! The little black piece of plastic that sits on the top of the original Schmidt insert is removable and will fit perfectly onto the Fisher space pen refill. Thank you for this video. I bought Fenix T6 but was a bit disappointed with its original ink. I did not like the black color and while writing, the pen often skipped due to an improper continuous flow of ink. I did not think about fisher universal refill. Now thanks to your idea, I upgraded my T6 and it works perfectly!

I finally got around to getting one of these universal refills, and it does fit into a Zebra T3 but you need to widen the hole in the nosecap (I just used the reamer on my SAK) as the seam between the nib and the refill body is closer to the tip than the standard Zebra D1 refill

A while ago I thought about putting one of these universal refills into my Zebra T3 mini pen to make a micro space pen that clicks. Theoretically the D1 length would fit, but apparently not all D1 lengths are the same diameter between manufacturers. Would you be able you test it if you have a Zebra T3? Other mini pens like the Ohto Minimo and Pilot Birdy also use a D1 insert, as well as the Kaweco Sport pen. There's not much info online about these Fisher inserts so I really appreciate you doing this video. Kinda disappointed it didn't fit into the Skilcraft Aviator B3, that surprised me, it would've made it extra avaiator=y to have a space pen cartridge.

I've been EDCing that Zebra pen for a couple years now. I just wish it had a stronger pocket clip. It's not expensive to replace when it falls out though.

Dang it! I absolutely love my B3 Aviator and have been carrying it everyday for I think like 8 years. It's got a great black and brass camo style patina on it now from the years of wear. I use it everyday as my construction work writing utensil marking wood filling out work orders and it works so well. It's twist action even has a satisfying smooth turn to lock that reminds me of using my Victorinox SAKs. F I was so hoping that the Fishers D1 refill would work in it. Honestly though I've been using standard D1 refills for years and haven't had them fail to write in any condition. I will admit I've never needed to write underwater or in space yet lol.

as far as the Olight Open and mini they take the 8126 mini refill.

Sick,I have the Fenix T6. U think the plight o’pen pro will work? And what’s the specific fisher insert you’re using?

Great info!

Oh and this was yet another entertaining vid that scratches my geek itch👍 Let us know if you get the D1 refill to work in the B3 with some modification.

I have a question regarding the flissa multitool did you find out if the leatherman replacement blades where compatible with the flissa?

You sir, are onto something!

The best pen insert is the pilot precise v5 hands down

Not sure he mentioned it but the standard is called D1 when he took off the extra length. My two EDC pens are Rotring 600 ballpoint and a Lamy CP1 with Atramentis Archive Ink and an EF nib.

The thicker part of the refill in the dial side click is just a holder so it fits in the pen. Pull the insert out. Should’ve known that before you made the video, though, eh?

interesting Dom. getting off the subject, found something on Amazon. it’s kind of a clone of the bibury 16 in one which I love, but wider and heavier. it’s unfortunately named “Big Hough” 17 in one multitool. last time I looked $23 with a 40 % coupon.

you need a small grinder and a caliper.
