A well-made tactical pen is one of the most durable items you can carry. Take this Hoffman Richter Stinger, for example. Even when not used for self-defense, its aircraft-grade, titanium-coated aluminum exterior ensures a lifetime of resistance against every sort of environmental damage it comes across. It maintains its strength for more aggressive applications like breaking glass, yet still is light enough to write with. It uses the ever-popular Fisher Space Pen refill — of course, since a pen that can survive most everything should be able to write on most anything. The Stinger's cap attaches securely on either end of the pen, and also comes with a heavy-duty integrated clip for EDC. You can write, fight, and keep it light with the Stinger, available at the link below.
