I have used this pen for many years and have a few of them. Also the pencil. I bought them as a set a couple of times. I use them in a mini notebook (Quo Vadis Traveler) which functions as a planner/diary. I have small hands so they work great for me. I recently managed to find a refill for the pen at a Staples but had trouble getting the old one out and was afraid I might break it but this video gave me the confidence to pull it out firmly after getting the spring out first. So thanks very much for posting this video.
I just ordered another T-3 off of Amazon. I lost my last one (Geocaching) after caring it for a year and a half. It's not for everyone though, its only 4" long and has a very slim diameter, not the best for writing letters but to have (EDC) in your pocket at all times so your prepared when the time comes that you do need it, it literally disappears in your pocket! My wife askes for it every time we are at the grocery store to cross off her shopping list as she goes, always forgets to bring one with her. For $5.83 shipped to my door you just can't beat it!
I bought one of these a handful of years ago thinking the slimness of it would allow it fit in a wallet. It did, but the pocket clip broke quite easy. I didn’t replace it.
This Zebra is one of those "In Case of Emergency" pens for a toolbox or car dash compartment. Kudos to the design, but it’s more decorative than functional.
What alternative Refills can be Used For this Pen instead of the Standard Zebra Refill?? In the Country I live, it’s very difficult to find Zebra Refills.
This Little pen reminds me the pilot birdie series: ua-cam.com/video/yYi3CN_OU00/v-deo.html Pilot birdie ballpoint has a push button, instead the zebra clip-based mechanism. Is this zebra mini completed with a pencil and a fountain pen?
There is a FIsher Universal (mutlipen) refill that you can snap off to a D1 size. I don't know if it'll work prefectly but theoretically you can. I would like to know myself as I want to try it.
My Zebra looks exactly the same on the outside as the one in the video. But the refill is different, It has a stamped stop at the middle, which is used to retain the spring from going up further and with "ZEBRA Minna 89.10" printed on it. Also the spring is a normal simple one, unlike the one in the video. I have NOT been able find refills for it. Can anyone help?
@The Imperfect As you'd suggested, I typed "D3-size refills" into Amazon, a bunch of vitamins came back. I typed "Imprint mini-type refills", nothing came back like I described. I found D1 but no D3. Thanks for trying to help though.
Used this all the time, stuck into a thin softcover notebook, and really liked it. But after maybe 1.5 years the clip broke off, which makes it useless to me.
Fits in my money belt. Very useful when I'm travelling or away from my room without my travel bag.
Good call. Hadn’t considered that but it’s one of the few pens that would work.

That pen is 手帳用, means, for schedule planner or for small notebook.

I'd say the "girth" is definitely noticeable when in a pocket. LOL. Good review of a lack luster pen.
Exactly the word I was avoiding ha
Great to drop and forget about in a pouch there for when you need to jot down a number or something.
Would a Frixion multipen refill fit in that pen?
I added one to my Survival Kit in my plane

Is there a D1 size made by Fisher Space Pen? Can I refill this pen with a Fisher Space refill?
