I think you should put the pen in the blender all by itself so you can see just how strong the pen is compared to the blender. I am sure the pen will win.

Give it to any Law Enforcement Officer for thirty days... If the pen can handle being thrown to the ground and stomped on by angry citizens who don't want to sign their tickets, being used to break windows, and being dropped and then run over by your patrol vehicle.... Then it passes the test!

I NEED a pen that will last longer than a week...

Have Chuck Norris roundhouse kick it. On a related note, Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it's just afraid to move.

My pens have fallen into our cement mixers here in our plant and if your lucky enough to find it none have ever came out usable again.

Can I comment again?

What IS a tactical pen?

Maybe you use it to write which tactics you wish to use?

"Sneak up behind those guys over the hill and shoot them!"

if you want to test the pen with motor and blades . Isuggest tapeing it to a branch and running it through a wood chipper or takeing it to a recycling plant that as a metal shredder

Put the pen in/on the tracks of a dozer (D7 or bigger) and drive on black top or concreate and see how the pen holds up.
You could also put 3 or 4 blasting caps (or other explosive, like rolled up sparkelers) on it and blow it up. That would be cool to.
Shoot it with stuff. the possibilitys are endlesss here really.

Give it to a crash test dummy.

Attach it to an arrow. Varmint hunting will never be the same.

Here's a good durability test: Send it to me, and if it keeps writing even after I mangle it in frustration while filling out endless job applications then it’d be one tough pen (obviously I have a lot of free time).

Shot it out of a 50 cal at a 4 inch thick wall of iron,or a army APC or a tank.Then we will see how tough it really is.

@Nixstyx, I have a better durability test, college transfer forms for a few of the Big 12!!

I suggest that the pen be superglued to a front fender of Tony Stewarts car for the Bristol race...

Drop it off in some of the harshest environments in the world with only a knife going head to head with Bear, Dave, and Cody and see which one makes it "back to civilization" first. I bet the pen does. But seriously a couple of explosions, some liquid nitrogen, and a bunch of hunters waiting for next deer season should do the trick.

Giving it to Obama for deficit reduction bill signing will not get much use. You sure like to hear your own head roar....

I just really want that pen. Imagine what you could do with it. Plus, I recently lost my wood splitting wedge.

Cement it in concrete, run it over with a truck, and have it attend a congress session.

Feed it to a Grizzly bear... if the pen makes it out the other side and still writes then we'll call it good. Plus we might also solve the mystery of 'does a bear sh** in the woods'

And yes, that's a dig against Obama and Bush. Unfortunately, whoever's next will probably wear out his share of pens too.

Dropping it off the top of the Sears Tower would be a good test too. After its dug out of the crater it will cause in the concrete, see if it still writes.

Forgot to add; hopefully it will have to be dug out of the concrete not someone's cranium.

Tie it to the prop of an old outboard and run into shallow water.

this might be crossing the line, but give it to Chris or Bobby Brown...if it makes it through all the abuse and cocain...your golden...

Strap it to Colt McCoy's helmet before the Steelers game.

Place the pen on railroad tracks and let a train roll over it. Then drop it from an airplane onto concrete from 5000 feet. Next, tie it to the deck of a nuclear submarine (Boomer) and take it on a 6 month cruise. After that take it to a steel mill and run through thier 450 ton hammer forge, a couple of times.Should test it out pretty well and make a point. A period point!

Take it to the firing range and slide it down the barrel of a 50 cal., If they truly think it will stand up to it. I personally think it will not. PROVE me wrong!!!

Just stick it in a glass of coca-cola for two weeks. That stuff dissolves nails, so...

If it can survive one hour with my mastiff, i'll buy it.

Give it to Floyd Mayweather's girlfriend.

Use them as linch pins on a tractors 3 point hitch when attaching a bush hog or harrow.

Sorry Jesus.

Give a new pen to my wife. Come back fifteen minutes later and look for the pieces.

If there so good go boar hunting with the pen tied to a stick like a spear then use the pen to fill out the tag. If you can tack a full grown wild boar and still function I’d say there worth the money.

Pass several out to SEAL TEAM 6!
Let them play with it.

Attach it to an arrow, light it on fire, shoot it at a gas can. Dukes of Hazzard the thing!

Make a series of survival scenarios. Harpooning fish on a desert island, using it to kill small game in the woods, pull yourself out of an iced over body of water using it as a spike, find a way to start a fire with it, roast some critters over the fire, ect...

You want something twisted? Lock it in a room and force it to listen to Chubby Checker sing "The Twist", played at the threshold of pain for 24 hours. Follow it up with another 24 hours of Billy Ray's "Ache-E Break-E Heart". If it doesn't come out warped, then you've got something to brag about.

Seems like you could seat it in a .50BMG and still have the C.O.L. in spec. The manual would read as follows: Cartridge: 50BMG, Bullet: 750grain Tuff Writer ball point *, Powder charge: 220 grains of H870, Muzzle Velocity: 2800fps. Acceptable 3 shot group results: 1" ink blot circle at 200 yards. *highly frangible upon impact

Send it through a wood chipper, if it can survive that I'll buy ten of them!

Fix it to the barrel of a Browning A-5 Magnum for few goose hunts.

Soon the TSA, in all of its infinite wisdom, will be banning flashlights too...

Put it between two head-butting bighorn sheep.

leave it in a room with a toddler and a puppy...

use the as a muzzle loader. drop several grains of pistol ammunition powder down the "barrel", top it off with a snug fitting steel or lead projectile then affix a musket or #11 percussion cap to the writing end of the pen. put it in a vice and whack it with a hammer.

Remember the old Masterlock super bowl commercials? They shot a master lock and it stayed locked. Shoot the pen with a 44 and write with it. Just don't use a weatherby, that pen won't stand a chance, master lock failed that test also. google "Sorry masterlock its a weatherby".

Have one of the Kardashians sit on it.

Do a retro flashback to the Rem. Nylon .22 commercial where they shot 100,000 wood blocks with the rifle, instead of using bullets use the pen. If it passes that, give it to my 2yr. old great nephew who's all boy squared, or should I say cubed.(I pity my niece) If it passes that, then give it to Congress! If it passes that, it's probably pretty good!!

Put it on the highest shelf in a house with an 8 year old boy. Tell him not to touch it, ever. I give it 3 hours assuming you can ever find it again, which assumes a lot.

Put it inside one of my dog's toys. He loves to chew on his 'babies' and hear them squeak like dying animals. Such a good boy!

Let my Lab have it for a day; she's an expert at destroying pens. If it survives that, let's mount it to the tread of my quad and give it a day of rock climbing. If it takes a licking and keeps on ticking, it's a true champion!

Send it to the New York Times Editoral staff and let them use it for a month. If it can survive the crap that they write, it's a winner in my book!

I'll attach the pen to the wheel of my quad, run it through mud & sand, over pavement & through water....

JUICE THIS???? NOT! :-)

RandyMI

Give it to my ex-wife. She was able to destroy our marriage in a microsecond. That pen doesn't stand a chance.

Garbage Disposal.

Could always put one in a CuCl2 solution and afterword hand it to the smallest guy in the office and watch him snap it in half.

Paint it bright green and drop it in blast hole in an iron mine. Try to find it after loading up the hole with explosives and shooting it off.

Give it to my 12 year old . He can trash anything !

I think the Mythbuster's could come up with something creative. In the meantime, I'm a CPA and it's tax season. Send me one and I'll see if I can wear it out.

Shoot it from a 7mm mag into multiple layers of 1/4" plywood to see how many sheets it will puncture.

Microwave it!

Send it over to Hank Parker, he'll make it a Swhactical pen, equipped with a thick southern draw

Give it to Barney Fife to use for a day. I'm sure he'll find a way to break it.

Drive it through a 2x4 with a four pound hammer. If it still writes I'd probably buy one.

write an other twilight book with it. if it can survive a load of crap that big, it can survive anything!

I'd suggest to give one to Joe Cermele. If anything his pencils are destroyed, at least the one showing the "virgin mermaid" lure. If that can stand his writer's block, it can stand anything, even Sayfu's sharp wit. Or even Chuck Norris' stare that can make stone shatter.

Use it to defend yourself from a Samurai Sword wielding assailant, they have always said the pen is mightier than the sword, PROVE IT!

Put it in the Air Intake Tube for the turbocharger on a Caterpillar Diesel Engine when its flat to the mat.The turbo will be going at about 10,000 rpm and there's 2 impellers on the turbo so that's alot of blades spinning fast. Plus the destruction of the blades is AWESOME....

Fasten it to a NASCAR Sprint Cup car bumper for a race at Daytona. With all the bump drafting, it should be a good test. After the race, you can take it off the bumper and sign autographs with it. Should make a GREAT commercial!!!!

Use a turboprop engine on it then unleash the C4.........

Drop it into a combine head, and see if it makes it through the rotor, and chopper. If it gets to your grain tank you have a good pen.

Freeze it and boil it.

Toughest test possible: give it to a 2-year old to play with.

have it smashed between two Lambrouginis that you have crash into each other. Not only a huge waiste of money but also a good test.

hammer it through plywood or drywall....

Wrap it in a few inches of Det cord. The mythbusters should be able to handle this.

1. get two horse riders mounted facing each other
2. give them each a pen instead of spear
3. joust

The easiest way to test how durable this pen may be in a blender like test would be to run it through something like a wood chipper a few times. Im thinking if it works after that, youll have it forever

obviously all the torture tests here are meant for the pen's body, but how about the writing element? if it doesn't pass off as a pen, it's not much of a disguise.

write on waxed paper. then on sandpaper (grit side). then drop the pen on its point to the floor. soak the tip in warm water. soak it in cold water. soak it in alcohol.

finally, write "The Old Man and The Sea" in longhand (it's a fairly short book).

Let Chuck Norris look at the pen. If the pen doesn't crumble or break than it really is quite strong.

Give it to Chuck Norris for a week.....

Have a Northern Pike chomp on it.

use it to intimidate bill heavey with long words.... and sad ones too!

put it in the cow pasture and see how long it lasts. If it lasts one stampede It is tough.

You should superglue it to a clay bird, launch it and then shoot it

The reinforced brown packing tape certain outfitters pack their tackle with. If it can break through that hellish concoction without snapping, I've got to have one.

At work, we've occasionally, um..."tested" items like two-way radios, wrist watches, and rakes by running them through the log chipper. It does a good job of "blending" pretty much anything. It can be hard on a $900 radio.

However, I think that you need to be "true to the pen." Even if it's also a kubaton, it is primarily a pen, and I think you should, naturally, match it against a sword. I'm picturing a scene from one of Lynn Thompson's (sp?) Cold Steel videos with the pen as the target. If you capture the particular poise and diction of those videos (which, as much as I love them, are almost satires of themselves), you could make hundreds of us spurt coffee over our keyboards. ...and I have a guess at which might prove mightier.

I have a four year old son, a two year old daughter, and a 5 year old yellow lab. Put the pen in my house and tell all three of them not to touch it.

Attach it to an IED, and send it into the atmosphere with a weather balloon if it survives the blast and the fall its on hell of a pen.

Give a Tuff Writer to the President to sign a law adopting a 15% Flat Income Tax and we'll see just how TUFF it is. It may write upside down or in outer space, but I bet it WILL NOT WRITE under those conditions. It's not that TUFF.

I don't know how many items I had destroyed after dropping it off a tractor and having it go under a flail. Let's see if this pen can survive.

take a family vacation to the Hawaiian Islands... Be sure to bring along any relative who really drives you crazy... i mean REALLY drives you crazy... bring along your Tuff Writter Tactical pen and go to MT Kilauea with your really nice relative ;-)and blind fold them and tell them hold this pin in the air and walk that way... we wont to how well it will hold up in the HEAT...
