Does the trap-door mechanism on this retractable fountain pen even work? I was very skeptical. Today, we’re reviewing the Writech Clictek, an inexpensive alternative to the Pilot Vanishing Point and Platinum Curidas. Does it dry out? Is it durable? Is that trap-door annoying?

In this video, we dive into:
The Mechanism: Whether or not the unique design prevents ink from drying out.
Writing Performance: A real-time test of the steel Medium nib.
Value: Is it a good pen, or just a novelty?

Where to find this pen:
Amazon (price increased recently, but coupons avail.): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3ZVGEsJ
AliExpress (looks for all the world like the same pen marketing for Asia): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3ZVGEsJ
Walmart (non-affiliate link): tinyurl.com/y72wt859

Ink today is the blue Writech proprietary cartridge provided with the pen.
Paper today was Rhodia Dot Grid Spiral: tinyurl.com/2se9mxrj
