Smooth writing
This is my 2nd box of these smooth writing pens. They last a long time and the blue ink stands out perfectly for comments on student essays.

Go for Sharpies not these
I would not recommend these markers they either dried out quickly, or the lid would pull the tip off, making it useless and messy. Spend the extra money and go for sharpie brand.

Great writing tool
Im a Team Leader for Watco/Staples and I give these to my crew that use them for our bulk drivers, checking off their manifests making sure the driver has all the packages needed for the days deliveries. The fine point makes it easy to check off each package on the manifests.
Great little writing marker.

Just pay extra for Sharpies
Awful. Runs low on ink after writing a few words. Awkward, uncomfortable shape. Just pay the premium for Sharpies, because these TRU RED pens will go straight in the trash.

TRU RED Pen Permanent Markers, Fine Tip, black, 36
Poor quality pens. Out of 36 in the pack, 11 were completely broken to the point of dysfunction.

These are a reasonably priced alternative to "the expensive name brand"
Actually seem to last longer.

Awful
There is nothing permanent about these markers. They wipe off metal just as fast as you write on it. Terrible. Going back to Sharpie

TRU RED
Some pens appear dried out overall the fine print is acceptable. Our application required a bold and wider point.

design flaw
Be aware that the barrel separates at the same point that the cap is removed and can pull the tip off to expose the ink reservoir. It can get messy. About half the pens in a box of 36 had this issue and I had to throw them in the trash.
