They are awful, skipping or smearing. Just awful
Awful with the ink not coming out. I am very disappointed. I will never purchase them again. What a waste of money

good
I usually use the .5 mm tru red pens and if there is difference it is barely noticeable. I prefer the .38 because the pen tip is very skinny which is nice for seeing your letters while writing. And it looks nice. The pen writes smoothly.

TRU RED retractable gel pen
The TRU RRD retractable gel pen writes smoothly and features an EZ grip finish, making it comfortable and the retractable features saves getting ink spots on your shirt/ pants. Good product.

Would not recommend!
I was testing out a number of pens, for their line width and ink quality. These pens are labeled as .38mm, but draw a line that is a full solid 1mm wide. And, the ink bleeds, making the edges of the line very not crisp. I was very disappointed with these pens, and ended up returning them.

Got these for work because I have to fill tiny boxes with info. Like the fine point but it sometimes skips. Not an issue for me really.

I thought they would have a bold ink but it's not disappointed. I wanted one that has the bold ink and this is not it.

Great Pen, But Why Didn't Any of Mine Write?
I very much liked Tru Red Retractables purchased about two years ago, so when I saw them again at Staples I bought the 5 pack...and NONE OF THEM worked, the ink must've dried up...or wasn't sufficiently loaded? Yes, I took the little ball of glue off the tip. Fortunately the friendly employee (actually one of my former students) exchanged them readily. But now I'm sp...

Absolutely perfect
