Pros & Cons
Pros
The grafton pen screams quality, from the beautiful machined aluminum body to the robust clip. It has an aluminum housing, which makes it both solid (metal) and light (aluminum) at the same time for a good feel. The action for a retractable is strong ... Read More
The pen takes a variety of refills. The ink is 7mm and writes nicely so far - no glops or blobs of ink. The gel ink spreads nicely and doesn't end up all over my hand.
Cons
It puts out way too much ink when writing and leaks in my pocket. I'm not sure if the ink cartridge i was given was defective. I love the od green color, but the clicking mechanism is gritty and it has a really cheap hollow sound to it.
The clicker only works about a third of the time. There is some glue/sticky substance that is supposed to hold the plastic sleeve the clicker mechanism sits i in place, and obviously did not hold at all. The grip is almost too smooth.
It gives off a “metal rubbing metal” sound, while not terrible, still not fully satisfying. The * device ( the top of the pen ) feels cheap and'scratchy' when deploying the pen.

The clip and the actual ink cartridge not so much
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The clip gets loose very easy and if you don’t keep a allen wrench small enough to tighten it every few days you will lose one or both
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Don’t tighten hard at all cause it will strip the threads
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So most likely won’t be buying another one
