From Lowe's they're #5 dansco 3/16" x 1/4" id. The glow ring (where the cap posts) is a 6guage. Need2Know posted a great thread on this a while back,

As for the Tuff writer, it's been a great pen! I wore out the o-rings on it & Jack, the owner, sent me a few. Great customer service! I've carried it daily for 1 1/2-2 years & don't have a single complaint. The only reason I'm retiring it is, it draws a LOT of unwanted attention in my work environment. One day, I'll get one of their clicky pens!

Here is my next pen. A good looking Pininfarina model.

Update! I was going through my flashlight paraphernalia & found a pack of #36 o-rings I never used. Lord only knows what I bought 'em for. Anyways, the #5 were just a little too big. They sat kinda proud in the grooves & didn't set round, almost egg shaped. The #36 fit perfectly!

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed a friend of mine from work carries a Lamy Safari fountain pen. Just curious, I asked him how he liked it, & he told me how much he loved it. I packed the info back in my brain for down the road, as I had just bought the Investigator. Flash forward to today & he swings by the office. He calls me outside & hands me a Lamy Safari, a bottle of noodler's ink, & a converter. I sat down to a couple youtube videos on the use & 10 minutes later, I'm writing with my first fountain. Thing writes like a dream! Light, elegant, & just classy!

No experience with fountain pens. I would suggest you not loan it out especially to people who are used to firmly pressing with a ball type pen. May have to look into the Lamy if for no other reason that to increase my knowledge and experience.
I wouldn't suggest you use it filling out FexEx mailers.

Yeah, I work in a psyche hospital intake. I don't loan my pens to ANYONE! Too many communicable diseases. The state supplies cheap ass pens just for this!

I don't technically edc any pen, but this is the pen I use at work. It's the Tuffwriter Polished Titanium Precision Press. I eventually want to get the Raw Aluminum Precision Press as well as a Copper Retrakt from Karas Kustoms. I only like clicky pens.

What are the 2 in the middle . They look interesting.We have a bit of overlap in our collection =) These are the pens in my EDC rotation. I keep my resin and celluoid pens in a storage case and EDC the metal ones.

That is a great looking pen. I swear I just heard a faint scream in the distance...it was my wallet.

I believe those are Karas Kustoms Render K's. The clicky to the right of them is the Karas Kustoms Aluminum Retrakt.
Haha, yeah, it's pricey. I don't know if I would have bought it myself, but I put it on my Christmas list on a lark and was quite surprised when my parents gifted it to me.
Nice. I didn't learn about it till after the Kickstarter had closed. I believe that there are a couple differences between the Kickstarter Ultimate Ti Clicky version and the production Ti Precision Press version, but both are awesomely built and awesome looking pens.

The are both Karas Kustoms Render K's. I stonewashed the grey one myself and left the other one alone. I run different refills in them so this way I can easily tell which is which at a glance. They were both silver at one point.
I stonewash a lot of my items so that the finishes match. Both the hinderer investigators (the 2 on the left) are stonewashed by me as well. The Brian Fellhoelter TiBolt (far right) came so beautifully finished that I left it alone. It's my favourite pen of this group.

The G-2 is a great pen, best gel cartridge that I've ever used. My favorite is the ultra-fine 0.38mm. It's been very difficult finding a parker-sized cartridge that is even in the same ballpark. Unfortunately the G-2 is lacking in a certain... titaniumness.

Not to derail this awesome pen thread, but my CZ is a custom. It's not your average CZ. heh.
