Alloy Pentel EnerGel retractable gel pen
I've used the plastic body version of these pens for many years, as they are comfortable, write smoothly and as advertised, the ink doesn't smear when writing with my left hand. I've purchased ink refills for a number of the plastic-body pens over the years, but the threads on the plastic body would wear out after one or two refills and wouldn't stay put together. Ha...

Broken
The very first time I clicked it the top popped off and it fell apart. I don't usually have problems with this brand so I was shocked.

Fragile
I really liked the way it writes, but I accidently dropped it once and the button on the end came off. There was no way I could put it back together and make it work. It became useless.

Disappointed
The pen looked good in the package. The descriptions seemed like just what I wanted. Then, back at my office when I opened the package and started to write - how disappointing.
The pen writes okay. it just is not the top quality as expected. And, the shelf price was $9.99. However, it 'rang-up' as $10.49. I didn't notice the difference until I had started using the pen....

Great pen
The Pentel EnerGel Alloy pen has a good weighted feel and feels nice in your hand. It writes as nice as all Pentel gel pens

Beautiful writing implement!
This is both a beautiful pen, especially for its price-point, and a useful implement. I had done some research before purchasing. I was looking for a good pen to write recipes on cards as a gift to my daughter and daughter-in-law. These pens (not necessarily the alloy model) were recommended for not smudging or smearing. The pen glides across the page. I will be purchas...

Ink doesn’t flow
Love the way it feels when writing. Love the look. The ink doesn’t flow at all. Can’t write a word without losing at least ½ of the letters. Horrible.

these are horrible
have purchased 5 of these pens and every single one has skipped ink when writing before the ink is even close to running out! 2 of them leaked ink everywhere!

Great gel pen
I recommend this pen. It writes smoothly and doesn’t smear when I write with it, and I am left handed!

Love this pen, the ink is super smooth, dries quick, and the alloy body of the pen looks fantastic for a decent price!

Pentel
Good quality pen. Really enjoy taking notes with a good quality pen.
Price was right.
I was really looking for the G2 Limited. Why don’t you carry it anymore?

Nice pen, fine ink lines
Good looking pen to keep on desk or carry with me. Got one in silver and gold. Picked fine tip and it writes beautifully.
