Smooth Pens
My coworkers keep stealing my pens so I put these cheaper pens out for others to use. Now I’ve been able to try them when visiting my coworkers cubicles and I have to say, I’m impressed.

NONE WORKED
I tried 4 of the twelve ; none of them worked. I returned them and purchased BICs. It would appear that they forgot to actually put a ball in it. Should be ZERO STARS.

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.

Packing Slip
The pens are fine. The packing slip was for someone else's order with completely different items.

Avoid
It’s advertised as a medium point, but if you can actually get it to write it looks like a fine point.several of the dozen pens did not work at all.

Not Useable
The whole box of pens all bled. They are not useable and have left a horrible ink mess in our cabinets!

Old Dried Up Pens
These pens have been dried up for so long not a drop of ink came out of them. Useless!

Great pens.
These Tru Red pens work very nicely. Smooth writing with them, quick drying, and the ink does not smear.

Sealed tips
Great pens. Comfortable grip. But… the tips were sealed with wax or something with no mention of it anywhere on the packaging. I spent some time trying to figure out why none of the pens would write before I figured it out.

Decent for price
Every once in a while, a pen will just start oozing ink all over, but other than that, it’s a decent pen for a cheap price.

Worst pen ever
They just don't write. Each time to use, had to prime it... (pen to paper - drawing circles) then try to write- maybe 1-5 words then no ink. I
personally tried at least 1/2 the box. Ordered a well known brand and those work well. In my case - I got what I paid for. I like saving money, but not being able to use is not saving money.

True Red pens
The pens did not write in the beginning until I kept at it for a while and the red ink is not as bright red as I would have liked

Red Ballpoint Pens
The pen has a rubberized grip around the lower portion of the pen which makes it easy to hold and write. Out of the box, the tip of the pen has a small coating of plastic to prevent the ink from drying. Once you remove the coating, the pen writes in the red ink desired.
