The Pens come with caps at both ends. The pens are for Safely cleaning all camera and camcorder lenses.It can be used up to 500x

The pen has a cap at one end and a retractable brush at the other end. The micro pen can be used on a viewfinder

The pens have a cap on one end to cover the cleaning tip and the other end has retractable brush. The micro is for small lenses like those on an phone or a pocket camera. I've had my pens for six months with really decent use and others that lasted well over a year before I really needed to replace any of them.

There is no cap covering the brush end but is retractable and below the rim of barrel. The MicroPen is for sensor corners. No idea how long the will last. Email your question to manufacturer.Jerry

They do have caps and the micro is for smaller areas that need to be cleaned.

The pen does not come with extra cartridges. They are available from Amazon at a reasonable pric . They also last for a reasonable time.

These pens are just made with specific tip texture that functions like tiny fingers. If your device works with your fingers, they'll work with these pens. Remember these pens are less than $1/each, they don't do magic =)

Depends on how much you use it. I've been using these pens for decades and am quite satisfied with their lifespan. The only thing is you must put the cap back on after using the pen or the point will dry out. That will shorten the lifespan of the non-retractable type pilot pens. The retractable type don't have this issue. I use both.

When I purchased this item, it was only one pen and I purchased two because I had read that they run out quickly....and they do seem to do that. Great pen though, nice smooth opaque white.

The point on this pen is not particularly fine, and is comparable to most ballpoints. It takes the PR-series cartridges, which are available in finer points: http://www.spacepen.com/cartridge.aspxI can't tell you how long they will last, as I've never had one run out before losing it. They will last for at least four months of heavy, daily use, as that's the longest I had one.

I do not remember mine coming with a cap. I lose them anyway, sorry wish I could be more help.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I first got it. The cap is actually on the "non-pointed" end. I figured the pen was in the "pointed" end, but it is not. Mine was a little tight as well so once I got it off I loosened it up with a little pressure on the inner plastic.

I use them at work where I write notes and my signature 4-5 days a week. They last me about 3 months before the tip stops working on all sides. Then I have a few more weeks of writing if I find the "right side" but usually I get sick of it and just grab a new one. I love them though! I used to buy Sharpie pens until a friend slowly convinced me these were better.

None of mine any kind of pen when I bought them. Maybe the newer one have, Aa I have seen some with a pen also.

The "point end" is actually a retractable ink pen. Didn't know that when I ordered them. Came as a nice surprise.

They are made by a company named Pilot. This is one of your better pen companies, because that's all they make. You will find more info here: http://www.pilotpen.us/About.aspx

Hi Cynthia. At this point I'm still scribbling with them all. But from my estimate, I do believe they will last as long as a normal pen. Hope this helps.

Hello - The Metropolitan Pen comes in three parts; The cap, Nib assembly and the body. But it also comes with a cartridge. The cartridge, as in most cartridges, are punctured into the nib assembly, which then releases the ink. I usually fill the same cartridge with my ink of choice with a syringe fitted with a small "hose-like tube" By the way, this is a great pen. It writes evenly and it distributes the ink flawlessly. I use it to take notes in college. Hope this helps. - Miguel

Hi Amy! Reina here from The Friendly Swede! Sorry for the tardy reply! The stylus pens are medium size, so the tips are about the same size as an eraser on a pencil. If I can be of further assistance to you, please email me at our storefront customer service link here:

Here you are Kelli, someone else posted this as they were looking for refills also. Not sure if the refills are standard for all pens but here's a good start: Schmidt D1 refills available on Amazon for a great price -- just search for "Schmidt Mini Ball Pen Refill - 6 Pack - Black"

Hi Amazon Customer! Unfortunately, we cannot safely say that these tips will fit any other tips than those of our own (The Friendly Swede) pens. Apologies for that. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:
