Absolutely trash. They don't make them like they used to.
Ended up returning them. Quality on Tru Red pens went down the toilet. They were previously made with robust ink and wide grip for people with adult size fingers. They are now no different than the cheap Bic plastic pens that you can purchase at a dozen for 99 cents.

Speedy Pens 1.0 Tru Red
I purchased a box of the Tru Red 1.0 ballpoint pens.
I like ballpoint pens in general because they just seem to last longer.
This one write fast, thus I call them my speedy pens.
It's a long taller pen than usual as well and that's nice.
It's super black ink and that's good.
The ink does blot a bit and leave blobs so I really wouldn't consider it super smooth.

I love these pens. They glide as I write. Even my co-worker has started using them so now I have to buy more.

Very happy with the purchase
I never bought this brand before but I am very pleased with the quality for the cost. I use these for Operation Christmas Child (the shoe box program) and they will work great.

For an inexpensive pen these work great
I got these when I realized the Staples brand Aura pens were out of stock. They were inexpensive and since I write all day at work I figured they’ll do. Boy was I surprised no hand fatigue smooth and although there is a slight bleed through on the documents I put data on all day (both sides) they were very good. I’d buy them again!
