Tactical stylus pen?

[G.A.Pster]

I have a PDA and I was wondering if there are any good sturdy metal pens that you can also used as a PDA stylus (I have one made out of plastic, not so tough).

I’ve seen some tactical pens made that say they can be used as a stylus but all they have is a blunt metal tip at one end, that would wreak havoc on my PDA’s screen! I want a good plastic tip.

I’d prefer one that didn’t use pressurized ink it’s expensive to replace.

I'm not aware of anything that meets your requirements.

I only own two "pens" I would call "tactical," and I don't think they would work well on a PDA...

A Stylus Kubotan from Alpha Innovations might be just what you're looking for.

I don't know about tactical, but this stylus is quite a bit better than what I've been using, and the "tip" is a spring-loaded plastic nub.

Easy. Great pen. I carry one every day. Lots of refill choices. Is $5.00 too expensive for a refill?

I think Alpha Innovations is the way to go...edcdepot seems to have the same product perhaaps for cheaper.

I like the price of the Alpha innovations one, does that have a pen in it too or just a stylus?

It's just a stylus.

This may not be a stylus, but has to be one of the coolest pens ever! I do believe I "need" a new pen!!

Here's a pen/pencil/stylus from Fisher Space Pen. I don't know if it's sturdy enough for use as a weapon though.

Honestly the Stylus kubotan (It is the same from AI and ED, pretty sure by the looks of it) looks like the best design I've seen...it can definitely pass as a stylus, and work as one, and that thing would do a lot of damage without breaking the skin.

 

[unloved]

Yeah, they're the same. Alpha Innovations makes 'em, quite a few companies sell 'em. I have a handful of them. They're useful for all kinds of things.

I'm not sure that an aggressive thrust wouldn't break skin though. The tip is flat, but very thin. In fact, I think you could cause a pretty severe stab wound with one.

Hmm...darn, I was thinking of getting one. Guess I'll get a Stinger instead.

benchmade makes a few different types surefires tactical pen is pointed enough as well and smith and wesson has one that i saw in a bud k catalog and a company called mil-tac has one too

hope this helps

If you're looking for a kubotan-esque type of thing, I'd recommend a Sherpa.

With my Endura, AI Stylus, Koh-I-Noor 6mm mechanical pencil, Zebra F-701, and Delica Wave for scale:

Forward grip:

That looks cool. I don't have $30 to spend on that, but that is about perfect. I also EDC the F-701

 

[Dimis]

ha its funny that alot of ppl (myself included) EDC the F-701 5 bux beats the 70-120 that the tacticool pen makers are asking

The Space Pen bullet stylus works well , have used one of those for years.
