This Pilot pen is absolutely great for everyday use! I am a Student and I use these pens ALL of the time. They are just great for taking notes in class and writing long papers. The fine point tip is great and creates a perfectly smooth line that matches no other. This pen also glides very smoothly on most types of paper, since it is a gel pen. The one problem about this pen is that it does not dry as quickly as ball point pens and might smear sometimes. These are just all around great pens for just about any use! I also really like the BOLD version of the Pilot G-2....I vert highly recommend this pen to people who write a lot or are in the office most of the day

THEY LEAK LIKE A FAUCET!!
These pens leak. And I do not mean on rare occasion, or after long periods of use. I mean straight out of the box. G-2's are awesome, but DO NOT buy...Read complete review
These pens leak. And I do not mean on rare occasion, or after long periods of use. I mean straight out of the box. G-2's are awesome, but DO NOT buy the 07's -- buy the 05's. These pens get ink everywhere. The ink puddles in the bottom of the barrel and gets on absolutely everything. Save yourself embarrassment and apologies and avoid this pen.
Comments about Pilot® G-2 Retractable Gel-Ink Pens, Fine Point, Blue, Dozen:
I use these pens everyday. They are refillable, but I'm hard on them, so when the ink runs out, I toss them and start with a new one. They work in colder temperatures; better than non-gel pens.
Comments about Pilot® G-2 Retractable Gel-Ink Pens, Fine Point, Blue, Dozen:
I'm the office manager, so I have the last say on what is ordered, but I had a rebellion on my hands when I tried another product. Not one of my 18 employees preferred the other pens. I won't do that again!
