How It's Made Retractable Ballpoint Pens

[StonedBoo]

Fountain pens are the best way to write. Ball points suck. Never buy them...

[vcvfbcfgh]

2 1/2 miles! but why do most pens suck?

[sysghost]

I never bought a sigle ballpint pen, yet I have plenty of them lying around.

Every single one I have/had, comes from various companies/organisations, with their logos on.

[joemchang]

Sooo nice

[MohsinONEONE]

Just Amazing.. and nothing els...

[Runkey12]

INVENTED IN HUNGARY

[maisteri]

@Runkey12 hungry? that's a country? I've heard of turkey, but hungry...

[MJerome195]

@maisteri Isnt it Hungary?

[bovko1]

It's fun how the pens are German.

[qazaq992]

2:08 makes me think WHY DO PILOT BALLPOINT STILL EXIST they are unreliable always fail at some point even when full and last but not least THEY ARE EXPENSIVE 2 EUROS FOR A FUCKING PEN!!!!!!!

[zanuha]

@qazaq992

._.

I have a 40 euro pen. Worth every penny.

[qazaq992]

@zanuh Do you have a Pilot or an other brand? Because Pilot Sucks!

[zanuha]

@qazaq992

Wow, you have strong opinions on pens. I have a Smith and Wesson tactical pen.

[DMXP100]

@qazaq992 I have a Pilot VP and Namiki Falcon (Namiki is to Pilot as Lexus is to Toyota). Best $500 ever spent.

[brianawesome100]

@qazaq992 cheaper than fountain pens (have a 200 dollar one) but your right and your wrong because would you rather spend like 200 euros for 1 pen or 2 euros for 1 pen?

[MsCoolkid234]

if only all pens were made like this ( looks at crap pen in my hand)

[mahina1963]

typical mainstream...it didn't go into any detail how tge came up with this design

[biggiedickson]

@mahina1963 What...?

[AfricanPubes69]

lol who the hell changes the ink...i just buy a new one

[coolbionicle]

@AfricanPubes69 Not if you have a really expensive pen XD

[Ji66saw]

now I know how ballpoint pens AND springs are made!

[vientesiete27]

Why didn't they show the basement filled with Asian children building the actual pens you buy.

[TheDaygecko]

@vientesiete27 ... I would do some research before I post stuff like this: The company logo can be seen right in the video ... those pens are not manufactured in asia (like almost any other pens out there) and certainly there is not basement of enslaved children in Germany ...

[vientesiete27]

@TheDaygecko I just said it as a Joke sorry if i offended u.

[TheDaygecko]

@vientesiete27 ... it's not that you offended me but I also think people need to inform themselves before they raise their opinion in order to prevent bringing discredit to those who work hard on doing the right thing by the people and the environment ... regardless of how the rest of the world functions ... and it was not my intent to do a bad thing by you either ...

[AlcoholicJizzSpitter]

I also put my pens under endurance testing whilst sitting in class.

[xXn1njapr1nc43vXx]

i think the machine is doing all the work there

[juslke23]

FACT! On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.

[mattmax11]

@juslke23 FACT who cares

[juslke23]

@mattmax11 100 families

[mattmax11]

@juslke23 if that many people cared why hasn't anyone thumbed up your comment

[juslke23]

@mattmax11 why would those 100 families watch this video. they are probably scared of them

[solittleusernames]

meh i've figured out how these pens work from fiddling with them anyway

[actinoidify]

Don't you just hate it whenever you open a pen to change the ink or to examine it, and the small spring just shoots out of the casing and gets lost in the carpets at school

[Polaf3456]

Am I the only one that has a fetish for really really inky pens?

[vitruvian8807]

And yes, I've used several pens until they've run out of ink, those are G2 pens, my favorite kind. I also own a couple of fountain pens.

[DerekkAlexander]

(4:36)

100,000 times? o:

That must annoy the hell out of it's teacher!

[doodlejump4683]

@DerekkAlexander lol onr time everyone in our class took their pen and clicked them over and over and over... i never thought id see a teacher that mad and it be so funny XD

[iammeakame]

woah..

[NcoleyCP]

How Its Made SWORDS has way more views than any PEN video. The sword is indeed more mighty. Hmm, yes....so in your face stupid quote. :)

[RobertTheRobot1]

4:18 lol the grabber bit on the left thinks its helping, but its not actually doing anything, poor grabber thing :(

[vitruvian8807]

@RobertTheRobot1 I think that's the grabber that grabs the defective pens that pass through not get sent with the other ones.

[daveit123]

Where can I find this background music??????

[luno44]

That little spring is one of the most useful things I've used, not in a pen.

[foxman105]

Meh... I prefer classic ink pens. Much more comfortable to write with.

[pielover3756]

lol i remember taking apart mah pen because i was bored and not knowing how to put it back together :P

[frogger832]

Can plastics ever run out?

[meatisdeliciouse]

@PaulCLou The thing is, we no longer live in a world such as the Egyptians, Greeks or Romans. Even though their products were made to a very high standard, witch impresses me greatly, it just would be practical, these crafts men take dacades to achive such skill, I used to go to a "crafts" college, and their products were messy and horible, it takes years to achive the same quality as our ancestors. I do't really know what you mean, a chair is a chair is it not?

[TheRealGeriBoss]

Did you know that ballpoint pen is also called Biro's, which is the name of the hungarian inventor Bíró László József. So that's interesting. I'm hungarian as well. :)

[Demon12372]

4:30 in an out pen porn

[onehundredand37]

really? 45 degrees so the tip wears evenly? i never would have thought of that! =)

[Olovkamrs]

If someone works in a factory pen, let me post a few items that are wastes

[Olovkamrs]

posto iz hobija sakupljam hemijske ovaj video sam sa odusevljenjem pogledala

[MrThemantwo]

it is wierd how many brands use oil-based ink

[Mounish23]

hin

[uudens]

name of the song is playing in the background, please?

[maicull]

I have never used a pen until it ran out of ink. It either got lost or stops working....

[Paiste402]

@maicull

same here, specially cheap pens. they get thrown around alot and i lose em

[Batteri000]

@maicull Hehe, Seinfeld have asked the same question ;D

Anyway, all these machines and equpment, and a pen is still so damn cheap :o

[MegaOrangepants]

@maicull During my exams i went through an entire pen (ran out of ink) about every 3 exams! Before that i did not think it was possible to write a pen to death, but i did it many times.

[XOSiren18XO]

@maicull I think its obvious that this happens to everyone. What a waste of ink.

[Toshisan]

@maicull i use gel pens so i have to buy more to replace dead ones

[TheViolentTeddy]

@maicull I have!! At university... and I was so proud when I did!! HA!!

[charkee167]

@maicull Lol me too. the only pen that i actually used up was this papermate countain pen (not really fountain pen it looked like ball point but didn't have a ball it was a micro felt

[Evoshun]

@maicull maybe stops working because its out of ink? ._o

[meatisdeliciouse]

I love these videos, it's so interesting to finde out how these things are created. Some people go on and on about how there is no skill in manufacture these days; they couldent be so wrong. To make the same quantity and qualits of products high speed factories make you would need 100's if not thousands of people slaving away all day just to keep up.

[MilkweedTheif]

@meatisdeliciouse ha every pen i have ever bought has ended up lost...never once has ink ran out...unless i either left it without a cap ori found a free pen on the ground...never by writing

[meatisdeliciouse]

@MilkweedTheif Then don't loose your pens.

[jayjoetube14]

@meatisdeliciouse

they are not slaves, they are paid

[MrAluminox]

@jayjoetube14 An underpaid repetitive work is a vicious form of slavery. Travel, have a look at some factories in third world countries and you'll see people, even children, working 10,12 until 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, for wages that just permit of not starving to death. Add many times bad conditions of work, handling toxic products. No protection, no medical care, no retirement, no hope. Is it not slavery?

[jayjoetube14]

@MrAluminox

its not slavery because again they are PAID

slaves are NOT PAID and they are FORCED to work in such pathetic conditions, the workers you were saying were not forced by the company to work, those people you say force themselves to work in such condition because their poor situation

[solittleusernames]

@jayjoetube14 he never said they were slaves he said slaving implying they are working hard for long hours in bad conditions for meager pay...actual slaves worked for long hours in physically hard work with NO pay. and they were usually black or an orphan

[jayjoetube14]

@solittleusernames

you're a racist

[bassline0121]

@jayjoetube14 How is he being racist exactly?

[jayjoetube14]

@bassline0121

he said black are slaves

[bassline0121]

@jayjoetube14 No, he said slaves WERE usually black or orphans which they were?

[djuro20]

@meatisdeliciouse true they don't need a lot of peole to produce things, that makes products a lot cheaper, but also it mens less work for people

[Gannondalf]

i love this show :D
