I wanna buy the Cross Micro Pen but do not want a pen that might leak. Has anyone had a Cross ballpoint pen leak?

No, never, and I used them for a long time before I switched to Fisher Space Pen cartridges. (Unfortunately they don't make a version compatible with Cross. I wish they would....)

Actually Cougar, they do make pressurized refills for Cross pens! Not sure if they are listed on the website, but you can check with your local Fisher retailer....or one of the many on-line pen shops.
 
If this is the one that replaces the stylus oin the Palm devices, I have one thats about 8 months old. Has worked perfectly and is actually fairly comfortable to use.
 
I've had a Cross ballpoint pen for about 12 years now, with no leaking whatsoever.
 
I've carried a Cross Pen for 15 years, and my father has been carrying one (or another) for over 35 years. No leakage.

Thanks for that info Dexter! I'm going to find out and see if I can turn my Cross pen into a Space Pen!
 
I have used Cross ball point pens for over 20 years without a "leaker". Guess it could happen, but so far, so good. :D
 
Are you sure of that, Dexter? Last time I looked there was nothing on the web, and my local retailer never heard of any. They're willing to order them for me if they exist, though.
