Oh man I think those new clips are so much nicer than the older style. More modern looking.

may be true but I don't like them in use as much.

Nick, I was changing the ink and used your video to learn how. Unfortunately, according to Tactile Turn, you are NOT supposed to pop the button out to change the ink. In fact, you do twist the tip off for all of the pins, per Andrew at Tactile. When I popped the button back in I screwed it up and had to send it back to the company. They ended up sending me a brand new pen. Just thought you should know.

Exceptional Vid as usual Nick! I own both the Bolt Action & Side Click from TactileTurn and they're certainly my all-time favorite!!! Keep up the Great Work Brother and you've my full support🙏🏻😀🙌🏻⭐️💎

Do you have a favorite out of the bolt action vs side click? I just purchased the bolt action and I feel like I should have gone with the side click as the bolt action is very hard to push down. I don't feel it is as easy as the videos portray - could be a wearing out process? Sucks if I have to return it as they have a 10% restocking fee and a $15 re-polishing fee since its copper. Just curious if you like the side click better.

so it's ribbed for a pleasureful writing experience?

The kicker is that the copper one smells like fish. No joke.

The texture is surprisingly thin so you're likely right about the texture going away on the button after some use...I sanded the ridges off on my Zirc bolt and glider with fairly minimal sanding. Also...could Glady match your clip anodization as closely as possible for you if you wanted just let me know.

Back to the future! Love my Fisher Astronaut Pen ... aka Space Pen :-)

Got a side click and it had a few issues. I sent them a video and they quickly took care of me. Really happy with their customer support and sending me out another pen with return label.

If you could only keep this one or the Bolt Action, which is your pick?

Thanks for the video 😎👍

I really like the clip!

3:22 Instantly reminded me of the 90's and the Rainbow Fish, WHOA! :)

Wish they had a discount code to buy directly from Will. If buying from DROP you can’t get the clip engraved.

The copper looks good, need it for my job! Besides is natural antimicrobial

Have to say I love this pen more than the original bolt action!!! Keep the jokes coming!!!

I really like the design of this pen, I have the titanium short one. The action of the button is just really awful though, it's actually unpleasant to use. It's gritty like rough metal scraping on rough metal, the sensation is bad enough that despite how awesome it looks I don't want to use it. Could be an easy fix if they polish the sides of the button rather than leaving them matte finished I think. I also have the bolt action and it's buttery smooth to deploy, and very enjoyable to fidget with.

@@BrittMasters I had this same issue from their OG long click pen. The maker actually saw a comment I left somewhere (on Reddit? I can't remember; I believe this was the first pen they ever made), got in contact with me, and sent me a new clicker. That relieved most of the issue, but it was still a little gritty until it broke in.

Do u use any kind of correction tape?

Nice pens !

Where was the Spyderco Delica size comparison

I really want the smaller one

*Nick Shabazz* Perfect as always. Have a good day :p

On the mini or short, is there any chance of accidentally hitting the push-button and retracting the point while writing? Seems like your hand might press up against the button depending on how you hold the pen. Thanks.

There is no G2 Mini refill, you need to buy the whole pen and remove the cartridge, which is pretty depressing.

I tune in for the one-liners! 😂

Great review! I agree about the clip. I'd be all over this if it had the same style clip as the bolt action pens.

Maybe break out the caliper when you need to measure the width of a round object?

Sticking with the tactile turn bolt action. The clip ruined the clicky one for me.

Take a shot every time Nick says "Tactile Turn Texturing".

is the spring made of titanium?

Good to see this review posted. Hopefully their QA is better than I experienced, one of my two had some pretty nasty burrs on the clicker that were missed in assembly and I had to remove, after that both pens broke in to be nice and smooth. I think the button and clip finish is an aesthetic choice and I happen to like the contrast. The clip design sucks though, screw depth is scary thin, hard to get in a shirt pocket compared to the original, and shallow depth make it a poor comparison to the original. That said I don't see how they could get a threaded cap in place to hold their original clip design within the dimensions of the current design and maintain a decent sized clicker, something has to give. The click action is a strong point of this design though, nothing else really compares.

Looks like a massdrop clip.

Great pen, but I wish they offered a version with the milling just on the lower end where you grip it. I do own a copper bolt action and like it, but it does feel weird with the texturing on the entire length. Reminds me of finger nails on a blackboard. I might be the only one, but that is my opinion. Good heavy pen, appears to be a quality build, great reputation, I just don’t care for the feel in the fingers.

The new clips are definitely nicer, but the texture (in conjunction) will 100% tear your pocket apart.

Don't like this much. Love bolt pens but these side clicks just remind me of those shitty pens that retract by pushing the pocket clip (that always breaks off)

I don’t get it. If a pen writes when I put it to paper, it’s a good pen. Some write better than others, sure, but even the cheapest bic writes legibly. I make a pretty good living, but I can’t see throwing a hundred bucks at a pen.
