Every officer knows that taking copious and detailed notes during an investigation will pay dividends years later when required to testify in court. Having a high-quality, reliable writing tool is incredibly important. I've come to rely on the TacTool both on the job and for off-duty EDC not only as an excellent pen but a convenient tool for adjusting kit or firearm accessories and even as a last resort for defensive applications. The TacTool feels solid in the hand and writes very nicely. It is somewhat longer than other tactical pens I've used with a large cap which makes it much more functional as a defensive tool that's always in hand for example if I were suddenly attacked while making notes at a call allowing me to create space to get to an appropriate force option. The built in screwdriver bits are very convenient and have come in handy more often than I would have thought. Highly recommended.
