There's an f701 with the plastic by the clicker as shown in that picture and the ones with the metal there. I have the metal ones. I throughly abused my first one, through tens of thousands of clicks and dozens of drops, until I lost it. Abused enough that I had to take chunks out of the metal tip with pliers because dropping it on the tip can deform the metal, but if you bend it back or take the chunk off it's fine. That's the only complaint I have is that the metal tip is brass I think and not too hard to deform and prevent opening the pen. But it's also easy to unstick with some pliers or ramming a sacrifical refil from one of the grabage pens they give us at work through the opening. Actually the other issue I have is the tip screws into plastic thats in the barrel. Its not metal threads. (Edit: I think it irks me because they advertise as "all metal inside and out" and then the threads are plastic). But this has yet to be an issue so its a theoretical problem, not one I've actually had. Wish the tip was a stronger design in general so it wouldnt deform that way in first place. That being said I've now been abusing my second for the past year or so. I'd happily have another if I loose this because I know I won't break it anytime soon. For like $9 they are workhorses. I have no idea how you broke yours so easily Monocrom lol. Maybe you had the f-301. I disintegrated one of those almost immediately before I found the 701
