I absolutely love "tool" pens.

What are popular ones out there.

I used to get them at office depot but my local location closed permanently, so now it's amazon only.

Whatever's free at the bank, doctor's office or wherever. I do like a thicker pen with a little weight to it.
 
I've been carrying a Cross pen and pencil set my wife gave me for my 60th birthday, I DO NOT loan them out. I let someone use the pen one day and had to track them down to get it back, hence I give them a throw down pen.

Whatever writes. I have a medical condition that causes ink pens to stop writing in a short time whenever I grab one. I told my doctor about it one day just in general conversation and she said "yeah, there's a test for that". She gave me her "test pen" and damn near immediately it stopped writing. I gave it back to her and it starts writing like a big dog.

From the looks of your avatar, you’ve gotten serious about listening to your doctor and getting a daily dose of cardio. Kudos!

P.S. I like the G2 gel pens as well. For markers, I go with the super fine sharpies or the Milwaukee markers that claim to write on greasy surfaces.

Milwaukee markers are awesome
 
I'm still on those Pilot G2 .07, but I prefer blue ink.

When I planned networks, I carried a blue on to mark up printed text, and to draw devices and UTP connections, and a red one to show fiber connections.
 
I prefer heavier pens. This one in particular. The barrel was turned from a piece of an 1860s Springfield rifle musket. The ends represent the musket and pistol bullets of the Civil War

I like the free ones that I find at some of my customer's or other places. I will grab a few whenever I can, I go through a fair amount of them in my job. My only real preference is must be black ink.
