LOVE these pens! They don't smear!
My husband is a leftie, so he tested out these pens on the new Tru Red notebook and had absolutely NO pen spear! This is a great new item in the Tru Red line!

Terrible Pens
You get what you pay for so just pay for a higher priced pen or pen set. They aren't smooth and the ink flow is very inconsistent. I tried to keep using them since I bought a whole pack but i had to throw all them away. waste of money

Thin line gel pens.
These are good for gentle writing. The colors are fabulous.

Mediocre pens
Fine point but not impressed by these pens. Not really worth the money spent.

Absolutely love this pen! I am very critical of pens and very selective about the ones that I use.
The ink dries super fast and the extra fine tip allows me to write smaller than normal and still be legible. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PEN!
They are also very cost effective.

Poor packaging
The pens seem fine; however when i first tried to write with these, none of the pens i tried would work. I returned to the store and was informed that I had to remove the "tip" from the pen. She scraped off a very tiny plastic cover over the tip and the pen worked fine. NOWHERE on the packaging did it instruct me to remove the tip cover. I kept the pens but the trip...

Extra fine G2 Black Gel pens
I bought them after seeing the check washing scam going around and.that black gel pen ink is hardest to wash off checks. We plan on continuing to write checks so feel much more comfortable using these pens. Smooth writing, fast drying, good price. Nice

I cried when I lost my first one; and then, I was delighted when I found it!
Nothing to dislike about this product!!!!

Preferred pen among the unit due to point size, comfort grip, and most notably its durability. The kind of pen you want to keep on hand.

Not the Best
These pens don't seem to last long and they skip a lot while I am writing with them. They write like they are running out of ink or like the ink is dried up from the get go. I think BIC stick pens write better and last longer than these.
