Review on Purple OLIGHT Open Mini Ballpoint Pen With Bolt Action - Ideal Replaceable EDC Black Ink Pen For Office, Construction Work, Writing, And Gifting by Nicholas Harrington

Revainrating 2 out of 5

EXTREMELY MISLEADING PICTURES.

This product listing is a complete LIE. The pictures are all photoshopped to make the pen look twice as big as it really is. What a pathetic disappointment! I don't have a super high level of respect for Olight, but I expected better than blatant lies.The fake listing pictures make it look like this is a somewhat stubby pen of about 4.5 inches long by 0.5" diameter maybe, looks about the size of a normal capped pen without the cap attached, which would perfect for me, Nice and compact but still usable. It's not. The actual pen is about 3 inches long MAX, and about 1/4" diameter. Imagine about the smallest pen you could physically fit in your hand in a pen grip, without having to resort to punching it with two fingers. That's the size this pen is. BARELY usable as a last resort writing implement. Would probably work great for sticking in the spiral or spine of a notebook as a second backup, for the backup, for your regular pen.It's so short, it fits in the little lighter pocket of most jeans. It's so short I found myself constantly marking my pinkey with ink every time I would operate the bolt action toggle. This pen has it uses but Olight are completely misleading in the product imagery of this listing, and it's quite obvious they are doing it on purpose.

Pros
  • A nice little fidgety pen. It's smaller than it looks, but a good size for a front pocket
Cons
  • The ink may dry out quickly if not used frequently
