Even in the ‘Information Age' of computers and cellphones and tablets and phablets, we still find good use for the pen. This rudimentary writing instrument is something some can be mighty meticulous about. Find that perfect pen, and invariably you break it or lose it. While we can't help with the latter, the Phoenix-based manufacturer Tuff-Writer decided to help you with the former. Tuff-Writer is fairly well known for their series of tactical pens, but this is something a little different. The new Mini-Click pen (funded over 400% on Kickstarter) has a lot going on. 6061-T6 aluminum body, all interchangeable parts, a brand new ‘clicky' mechanism, and entirely made in America. Since it's all interchangeable, it may eventually end up like a 1980's hair metal band (is it still “Guns N' Roses” when there's only one original member?) but you'll be able to keep on writing. Here's what they have to say about it: The Mini-Click is designed to be entirely modular with each component being easily replaceable and is designed to last a lifetime. The pen utilizes a metal body and tip machined out of 6061-T6 Aluminum. At the heart of the pen is a new 416 stainless steel mechanism, the absolutely finest “clicky” mechanism available. A new shorter clip pressed out of spring steel and coated for durability and corrosion resistance helps keep the pen securely fastened and close at hand. The pen comes with the reliable Fisher gas pressurized cartridge but is designed to accept any Parker style refill. It is available in raw aluminum as well as green, blue, red and black anodizing. Tuff-Writer is utilizing Kickstarter to launch the initial run and make the Mini-Click available for pre-order at a discounted pre-release price. As with all Tuff-Writer pens the Mini-Click is proudly made and assembled in the USA and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
