I miss the old model so much
For years, I've bought the previous version of this pen, my absolute favorite. The new one can't compare. Please consider bringing the old one back.

Good, But It Used To Be Better
The pens in this package wasn't as good as the previous package that I had purchased. I'm a little disappointed with the ease of flow, but they are still very good pens overall.

Great Pens for everyday use
We got these for $.01 on super sale and we figured they were going to be super cheap feeling but for the price who cared! They turned out to be really nice writing pens with a very nice look and feel to them. Would definitely recommend for every day use.

Poor design of cap
They write fine. I can believe the design is so lazy that the cap will not stay on the back end of the pen when in use so it will be in the way and you lose it all the time. The pen will also start to roll away when you lay it down because clip from the cap isn't there to keep it from rolling. Frustrating for something so basic.

Smooth Writers!
These pens write very smoothly and write on the first try without you having to scribble on a piece of paper to get them to work. My only complaint is that the cap sometimes falls off the end. Otherwise good pen for a good price!

Nice pens.
Great basic pen. It writes very smoothly and I like the way the end is shaped as I like to grip the pen closer to the tip!

Quality for Price
Nothing particularly special about these pens, but the price is low and they write well. Will purchase again.

LOVE these pens!
These are the best pens I've ever used! There are so many not nice black pens that are so dry. But these run so smoothly and dry fast! It's a true black. Highly recommend them!

A 30 year old Write Bros pen would work better
Same as the above. Bought from a major chain drugstore. 1 out of all the pens in the pack worked. That one pen is rather smooth for ballpoint, I’ll admit. The rest were very faint as if they were 20 years old. I had memories from years ago of Write Bros pens being more vibrant and smoother than other major brands, but those days are long past. Add that to the inconsiste...
