What is a "retractable pen"?

A retractable pen is a pen that has a mechanism allowing the writing tip to be extended and retracted as needed. It typically features a button or click mechanism on the top or side of the pen. Pressing the button extends the pen's tip for writing, while pressing it again retracts the tip, protecting it from damage and preventing ink from leaking when not in use. Retractable pens are convenient and practical, as they eliminate the need for a cap. They are widely used for everyday writing, offering a smooth and reliable writing experience.
