Best Writing Pens
I love this brand of pens. I am constantly asked "Can I keep that pen?" It's smooth has a great grip and it's affordable.

These are good desk pens although the 1.0 feels like 0.7. Writes well though. Good value for the low price.

Works well even in the beginning ...
Pens usually have to be “scratched”before they work correctly but these are the exception!

FANtastic!
These are an excellent writer tool. The students love them and so do I. They are smooth with no bleed and have an outstanding feel to them

Love these pens
So easy to write with. They’re ball point without any friction while writing making fast note taking very easy. And they last a long time! I write for 2 hours straight every day and other pens like the BIC Round stic will be dead in a week 10 days tops. I’m still writing with my first pen 2 weeks later and have what seems to be 35-40% ink remaining.

Not satisfactory ink or closure.
I feel that the pen writes more like a pencil than a pen since the ink is not dark enough. But what I found more dissatisfying is that the closure of the pen is not satisfying since it is not always secure and there is no click sound to know that it is safely closed. I will need to return it.

Nice pens
These pens write really nice and dark. I usually only use gel ink but sometimes I need a ballpoint pen and this one is great.

The pens will sometimes come out “smudged” on the paper. I do like the grip. I would not recommend this item to others.
