Zebra F-402 pens and refills
I have been using the Zebra F-402 pens for several years. I go through a refill about every six to eight months. The pens are the first and only ones I have found that are comfortable for me to grip, hefty enough to feel comfortable in my hand and sturdy enough to hold up under constant use and being knocked around in my pockets. The sleeve of rubber padding on the barr...

Do not buy under any circumstances
These used to be the best pens (and refills) you could buy. But a number of years ago, something happened in the manufacturing process, it seems, that led to a serious degradation in the quality of the ink cartridged/refills. They all stop working after about 1/4 of the ink is used up, and most of them start leaking inside the pen itself. Often that ruins the pen, becau...

Excellent observation and comparison
Excellent service: the Staples associate observed and compared the size of the refill, Fine Point, Black Ink to make sure it matched the original ballpoint refill. She was very kind and knwoledgeable.
Thank you,

Pretty good...but
So they are a good replacement and they write just as good from when I bought the pen new. However there's one thing you gotta watch out for. They are sensitive to shock. Meaning I dropped it with the pen clicked to the writing position, and it landed on the tip. I did this once and the tip was done. So dont drop the pen tip lol

Great pen
I really like the feel of my Zebra pen and am happy to find there are refills available. I'm also glad they come two in a pack so that I'm never caught without one.

Zebra F-Refill Steel Pen
It is okay for what it is, but believe that there are other cartridges that perform better.

Finally found what I needed
Only store in town to stock!I Tried several retailers and searched online. Staples had the Zebra refills I needed at a reasonable price for 2 refills. Kept me from tossing the original pen, which I enjoy and like. Thanks.

Zebra steel F-refill ballpoint pen
These work great. In fact, you can write upside-down and the ink doesn’t stop flowing.

I'd rather buy refills for a quality pen
I'd rather buy refills for a quality pen than buy more plastic pens.

My favorite pen! I'm happy that I can simply replace the ink, rather than toss the pen and buy a new one!

If needed, an excellent choice.
They arrived and exactly what I expected as a few years before I bought a pack of 2 of them somewhere. I did a search for pens online and your site was one that that search led to. The price along with shipping and handling was very reasonable so I bought 2 sets of 2. A few days ago the second of the original set dried up so started using the new ones. The first stroke ...

Will buy again
Love the new Zebra ball point pens and refills. It's a good quality refillable, and using NORMAL ball point ink, not the nasty gel ink (which seems to dry out before the cartridge is empty), nor liquid ink (which uses a really sharp, scratchy point). The barrel is a little narrow for me, so I bought some separate silicone grips and put them on the pens. Wow -- new favor...

Good refillable pens with regular ballpoint ink, not "gel", not "liquid". So happy to have found them! Bought a separate, larger (removable & reusable) silicone grip because the barrel was too narrow for me. New favorite pen! Keeping one at work & one at home.

This is my pen
One of the best pens I've ever used. The ink flows smoothly without skipping or globbing and the fine point facilitates fine writing for those of us who write small and need accurate neat lettering.
