Pros: Attractive, easily accessible, stopped the arguments.
Cons: Can't find them online or in the store now. Would like more.
The Bottom Line: It's a pen you could use and probably hang in every room in your house. I wish I could get more.

| nortos's Full Review: Brookstone Magnetic Fridge Pen |
Does anyone have a pen, I left about 15 in the kitchen drawer a couple of weeks ago and they are all gone. This has happened time and time again in my house. My husband complains, we argue about it and the kids are always well I didn’t take take the last one. I guess the dog must have been using them for his homework. I’m tired of the phrase “well if you put it back where you took it from, someone else would be able to use it”. My 17 year old finally got tired of all the arguing about there being no pens in the kitchen that for Christmas 2008 he bought me a Pink Brookstone Magnetic Fridge Pen. We all laughed when we saw the gift because of all the silly arguing that always occurred because we can never find a pen in the kitchen when we wanted it. Now there is always one on my refrigerator door and I’m happy to say we haven’t had anymore yelling or arguing about the missing pens.
This Brookstone Pen measures 6 inches from tip to magnet. It is made of a soft rubber material which fits comfortably in your hand when held. It tapers down to be thinner as you move away from the pen point and then it has a thin portion which is very flexible and on the end a round disc which measures about ¾ of an inch which is the magnet. This allows you to hang the magnetic pen on your fridge and it hangs as if on a hook. When on the fridge, it only sticks out about ¾ of an inch from the refrigerator so you really can’t knock it off. The magnet is strong enough that it doesn’t fall off even when the freezer door is slammed.
I have been using this pen on a daily basis since December 25, 2008 and find it has held up very well. The ink continues to flow smoothly from the pen tip. I’m not sure how long the ink will last, but it also come with 2 replacement ink cartridges that are easily replaced by putting yourfingernails between the metal pen tip and the rubber on the pen and gently pulling outward. The replacement cartridges measures 4 inches long. I’m not sure of the price that was paid and this may have only been a special Christmas sale item as I haven’t been able to find it online. If you can find one I highly recommend purchasing a few.
