Poor Quality
Removing the protective wax lead to the tip coming off and a messy ink situation. Not recommended

Best ball point pens!
I discovered these pens recently when I was filling out a membership form and I loved how smooth they wrote so I asked the receptionist what kind they were. I was overjoyed to find them available at Staples at a fraction of the cost I usually pay for pens that are a fraction as good. They glide smoothly don’t leave globs of ink and are a very pretty blue! Love them!

Great pens & cheap
I wasn't expecting much out of these pens since they were inexpensive and there were a number of mediocre reviews. I really like these pens. They feel great when writing and have been reliable (so far). I would definitely recommend.

Awful pens
These pens are awful the entire box barely writes and when they do it's hit and miss. Completely understand why they are so dirt cheap now.

Pen review
These pens are better than the Paper Mate pen which replaced their stick pen but I would really like the original Paper Mate stick pens back
