Pilot Red Gel Pen is the WORST pen you can buy!!!
If you are wise, you WILL NOT purchase the Pilot Gel Tip pen (in red). It skips writing CONSTANTLY, is probably the worst gel tip pen I have ever had the misfortune of owning.

Pilot G2 gel pens
I have a friend of mine who only uses this pen in bold. They are hard to find in stores. They are the only ones she will use.

Problem with Old
You must be buying old

Thumbs up

Near-perfect
I love these pens! They are great for everyday use, both at the office and at home. They glide so easily that I use much less pressure to write with. Less fatigue means I can write longer...and I write a LOT. Also, I've found that the Bold tips (1.0 mm) are the best for writing on carbon copies, as they give a smooth impression on the bottom page without tearing thr...
