Never mind. Got it.

I too picked up a F-701 pen

Curtis — Thu, 4 Sep 2008 18:10:22 -0400

I too picked up a F-701 pen this past weekend. Bought a pack of refills to go with it.

Not that I need one yet but being a disassembler tried to unscrew the F-701.

Uh how the heck do you do it?

I haven't really wrenched on it since I don't want to break it.

I can'r even see a threaded joint on the barrel.

Any help is embarasingly appreciated.

If you take one of the M-402

If you take one of the M-402 Mechanical pencils, and unscrew the top and bottom and pull out all of the innards you can then swap them into the F-701 and you will endup with a M-701, more or less you will be just using the clip and the barrel of the F-701 with the top, bottom, and insides of the M-402

I was at Staples a month ago and i was dying to get the F-402.I went to the pen section and I was looking for it but I could not find it.So I came across the F-701 and I was amazed at how nice it looked so I bought it.I tried it out and it is the best pen Zebra has brought out.I bought it for about $7.00 and I also bought the Zebra Expandz Which is also a nice pen.The Expandz whas about $6.00.

So recommend anyone the Zebra F-701(Best Pen Ever)

F-701 mech.pencil conversion

I guess I'm like everyone else here, very interested in a M-701 mech. pencil or a conversion of the F-701 pen. Since Zebra is saying they're not planning on a pencil we need details! Please tell what's involved. I'm sure many of us here are very interested. As for the pen, it's one of the best pens I've used. It's very well-balanced, smooth writing and you can't beat the price! I found mine at the local Wal-Mart and plan on getting another.

Hi There,

I'm from Ontario and I recently bought the Zebra F-701 at a Walmart where I live (which is not a big city by any means). Since I'm not a huge fan of fine point pens, I checked out Staples and found refills for it there with a medium point. No sign of a gel refill yet though. This pen is stylin' I must say! Hopefully some of you will be able to find this pen at your local Walmart, if you can't find it yet at Staples.

i just have a quick question, i have 3 f-701 pens, with 3 colors, and would love a matching pencil, so i did my recearch, i mailed zebra, and there not planing on making a matching one, so found this page, and since you commented that you made one im quite interested on how it turned out, just what is involved? is it just to unscrew the tip and pull the ink well and the same with the guts on the pencil? and what about the tip? i just have to get the pencil, any info would be great, thank you, Justin

I think you have the one I use.

Mine is called the Zebra F-301 BP. I use fine point only, in black and blue (though I've also seen a four-pack at Staples with black, blue, green, burgundy). This is my all-time favorite pen. It's inexpensive and writes smoothly/reliably on the various surfaces I use. It lays down a crisp, well-defined line, too, unlike most of the more expensive pens I've tried and discarded (except Uniball Signos, which I use for coloring and sketching--just not for writing).

Is anyone else using the

Is anyone else using the zebra 301? I got a 2-pack a couple weeks ago for $6. It's a super compact pen that is about 4" when closed. It's the perfect size for attaching to my circa PDA and it actually writes pretty nicely for a ballpoint.

I got mine this last weekend after reading this post...so thank you. I really like the pen and want one in gel or pencil like others here. I also got the Staedtler Mars professional with silver barrel to match. I love the weight of the F-701. I was not disappointed for $7!

Are there any gel refills

mimi — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 05:18:52 -0500

Are there any gel refills that fit the F701? I've looked in Staples and came up empty handed. Not a ballpoint fan but like the stainless steel pen.

I tried this with the Zebra

I tried this with the Zebra 301, but so far, I am unsuccessful. Do you have any tips? Also, is it possible to take the end (near the clip) off of the 701. I was unable to remove it, and was afraid to force it. I would love to see photos, and know what sort of mechanical pencil you used.
Thanks much!
April

Oh my goodness!! Would you

aprilquilts — Sat, 2 Feb 2008 16:53:35 -0500

Oh my goodness!! Would you mind giving some more advice regarding this? I would love to figure this out. I happen to have a Zebra 301 pencil, and an extra 701. Is there anything special I should know?

I'm off to try...

PS--I wrote YESTERDAY to Zebra to ask about mechanical pencil. Thanks much for the idea on making my own.

Zebra 700 series pencil

If you're the handy type, you can take one of them apart and interchange the guts with another zebra pencil (300, IIRC) and make your own 700 series pencil. Works like a champ and the weight is awesome.

F-701

I just got back from taking a trip to Staples looking for a good mechanical pencil. I ended up getting a Pentel P205 pencil and also a Zebra G-301 gel pen. They go pretty good together as a set - same thickness, size, and very similar clips. The only major difference is the Zebra is stainless steel and the Pentel is black.

While I was there, I saw a Zebra F-701 pen. Unfortunately the only 701 anything I could find on their website was ink cartridges for printers. If you're interested in one, I'd say call the nearest Staples & see if they are in stock or not.

Found a new pen

aprilquilts — Wed, 2 Jan 2008 18:07:42 -0500

Hi there,
I was at Staples tonight, and found a really nifty ballpoint pen. It will be great to take w/ my planner. It is the Zebra F-701. It is completely stainless with a knurled grip. I'm not normally a ballpoint fan, but I do really like this one. I did find some on ebay, so if you can't find one locally, you might try there.

Hope this helps someone.
