Great Pens?
They write really well but the tips keep sliding off as well as the grips.

Paper Mate Retractable Black Pen
Just average. The "feel" in ones hand isn't real good. It's cheaply made (obvious). It's OK if you don't spend too much to buy the set.

Papermate Pens
I don’t like the quality of the pens. I have to scribble on scrap paper to get the ink flowing. I thought I was purchasing a fine point pen the point isn’t as fine as I thought it would be at a #1.

I am very happy with my new paper mate pens. I find they write nicely with a bit of an extra grip that I do not find to be too much.
