Inka Pen Review

Inka Pen Review
A month ago we received a nice little mail pacakge from Inka Corp., it was the Inka Pen. Now surely if you were sent a pen for free you wouldn’t mind, but you must be asking why would someone review a pen? well we’ve been using the Inka Pen for over a month now, and we can say that the saying it’s not another pen is not a cliche.

Inka Pen is ideal for those of you who work in inconvenient workplaces, or just seem to stumble upon a nice idea or thought they’d like to take note of in the middle of nowhere. It’s light weight (20-30g) and small size makes it attachable to your keyring, backpack, or even your jeans pocket.

But some of the business men out there might be willing to cover this pen’s little secret, and make it look just like any other “politically correct” pens, in 10-15 seconds you can unscrew some parts of it, and form a regular-looking pen to write with.

Now a ~8cm pen might raise questions about durability, but since Inka Pen is made of Carbon fiber & Stainless steel (called aerospace-grade materials by retailer), and has been stored with some dozens of books in backpack, it seems very durable one. It can also write on a variety of surfaces, which we haven’t go the chance to test yet. (except wood tables, of course ;) )

Bottom Line:

Inka Pen combines first-witnessed design without giving up durability and ease of use. With a price tag of $25, you can’t go too wrong with getting one. Refill costs $4.

Verdict: 4.5/5 - Excellent, except the fact that the pen’s ink cartridge is quite tiny, and mine is about to die already..?

Purchase @ Inka Corp.

    I’ve had no problems with my cartridge, but I’ve only had mine a week or so…
