How many times can you click a retractable pen?
Silly question, I know, but I work in an office supply store and people always ask me (usually joking) how many times you can click an average pen before the spring wears out.
Tests are done on this sort of thing, before they go on sale, and on microwave doors, and fridge /washing machines, you need to be specific about the product in question before a manufacturer was asked, but I know of one brand that is tested to the point of destruction, regularly, and it is in excess of 70,000 times on average, ( roughly equivalent to clicking it over 7000 days at the rate of ten times a day, or = to 19.1 years, of life at that rate ), but some have the mechanisms as part of the refill ( as in Parker refills, the jagged end of the pen refill, serves the purpose of producing the turning movement, and the appearance of the pen point, and it's life is considerably extended, by this mechanism , (because the mechanism is renewed, every time a refill is inserted ), to the extent that it will never wear out, until the spring fails, if it does not rust, it may last more than 35 years as one of mine has, HOORAY for Parker Pens. !!! ), like pencils, they can write for a single straight line of over 6 miles, but it depends on the pencil in question, as it will for all items, you need to ask about some article specifically, first...
But it is not so silly a question, as manufacturers go to extreme lengths, and expense to find these things out....but you must ask them for their test results, if you have a need to know...
