My Favorite Ballpoint!
922456
This is a good price for a quality pen.  You can purchase them in retail stores, but they are no cheaper.  The pen doesn't skip or puddle when you write.  It has a nice weight and is balanced.  PINTEREST TIP: You can unscrew the barrell, place a paper with your name or a fun picture inside the barrell, then close it up for a fun and personalized pen!  I really prefer the fine tip to the medium tip for a consistent, nonpuddling line.  This teacher loves Pentel R>S>V>P> pens!  (Look for the aqua ink; it is nice, too.)

This is my favorite pen of any pen I have ever used. Let's put the whole "space pen" aspect aside and say that I like the size and action of this pen. I would give it five stars but, if you drop it as I did you may not be able to retract the ink refill. I guess the action that puts the ballpoint down is extremely sensitive and "breaks" if the pen is dropped. But none-the-less and great pen. The refills are a bit pricey, but they last a long time, I used one 5-6 days a week for a year without it failing. Of course it all depends on how much you write. But, they definitely last longer than your standard Bic.

I'm very particular with the pen I like to use and this one has become my favorite work pen.  Comfortable, reliable, & consistent.  I dislike gel pens due to ease of smearing, so prefer a ballpoint with a medium point.  Tried the 1.6mm bold version of this pen, but it was too bold and seemed to leave gobs of ink.  In my recent experience, this 1.0mm medium point has been harder to find in the office stores so was thrilled to find a box cheaply on Amazon.  I'm set for a good while now.

Only negative thing I can say about the black ink is that it could be slightly darker/blacker like I found in the Pilot Dr. Grip black ink.

I am a lover of a good pen! I will blatantly, unapologetically steal them from friends, family, and strangers alike if it's a good one! But that has changed! I have given away all of my ill-gotten gains, because I cannot bring myself to use any other pen but this one. It HAS to be this specific one! Pentel EnerGel RTX Retractable, Metal tip, Bold 1.0mm, in black! I will chase a person down if they "accidentally" (yeah right!) walk off with it!  Glides on paper like no pen I've used before! What does it say about me that I'm THIS crazy about a pen?  Kinda sad, huh?  But seriously, GREAT PEN!!

My favorite pen evarrrrrr. I bought 6 so far! Never have to start it, and it's fine point so it isn't goopy.

After using many different styles of ballpoint pens over years and years of medical school and residency, the Pilot V5 is far and away my favorite. It never leaks, never smudges. It always writes the same, crisp-thin line. It works at any angle, until it is 90%+ out of ink. I've never had a mechanical problem with one of these (the clicker always works, with crisp action). I don't see any reason to use any other pen.

I have purchased several different paint pens lately and these are by far my favorite!  I have been using them to paint stones and they have a great fine tip.  I highly recommend these paint pens!

I am an artist and have filled many sketchbook pages with this wonderful pen. Great for fine graded cross-hatching and also beautifully fluid for contour lines. I have my art students purchase this exact kind of Pilot fine ballpoint along with their other art supplies. One can build rich black areas on the page as well as very light delicate values. Wonderful for detail. I have drawn with this pen for years and love it!

After searching for a ballpoint pen that writes smoothly, I finally found it with these pens! They are amazing and come in a fun variety of colors. Also, they are a really good value.

For this price, I better love this pen - lol.
Luckily I really do and have loved this pen for many years.
I was actually given one of these as a gift while doing a weapons demo and competition.
As soon as I put it in my hand, I knew it was hard corps!
Naturally I used the hell out of it and then while in Africa it was stolen.
I thought I could live with out it and lost the fight so ordered this latest and greatest.
Deciding which one of these pens is really difficult because they are not just a pen but a very important tool depending and customized
for your profession.
I like the weight of the solid stainless steel so I can motivate someone just by tapping their wrist or the bridge of their nose.
(Hooking an Ear is always fun too)
The Pen works extremely well and displays a good solid line of ink.
The pen is a medium tip though and I've recently ordered Fine tips on amazon but at a different page.

This well be, and it for sure better be the last pen I have to buy...
I couldn't afford another one for sure, but this is so much more than just a pen, It's an art piece.
The engineering that went in to this is awesome, and there are many copycats out there I know. I've sampled many but they just feel like s**t.
This feels like a real professionals tool.
Great gift or Raffle prize that some lucky bugger will appreciate and use for many years as long as he keeps a tight hold on it.
EMT or first responders may opt for the Carbide tip option for glass breaking.
Cheers Mates !

This is a truly beautiful pen, and it works very well mechanically, as well as the parker refills writing smoothly and lasting a long time. I always get a lot of glances and compliments over my carrying and using this pen, and you would too. It is comfortable in the hand, and will give you a feeling of increased confidence just knowing it is in your pocket <grin>! Parker and Cross make the best retractable twist ballpoint pens on the market!

Best ballpoint I have owned. Using the Monteverde Ballpoint Refill, this is the perfect ballpoint.

I got hooked on gel pens when I first tried the Zebra Sarasa medium point pen from a stationery store. Subsequently I tried other brands but the Zebra Sarasa seems to be quite a bit better made than the others I sampled, so I'm sticking with this one. If you do a lot of writing, you'll find that the only downside to gel pens is that they do run out faster than the average ball-point pen. On the other hand (especially if you grew up in an earlier era when the "fountain pen look" was the gold standard!) the refined look and easier use--less of the skipping and "blobbing" that plagues ball-point pens occasionally--is well worth the shorter per-pen lifetime. Highly recommended.

I love these pens!  I discovered them several years ago and continue to enjoy writing with them. I consider myself a little bit of a "pen snob". These medium point ball pens glide easily and write consistently. I can't think of a time I've had the ink stop working while still have ink in the pen.

I'm a professional copywriter so I'm very picky about my pens. I somehow ended up with one of these pens in my car, where I'm constantly writing notes to myself. There are actually several pens in my car of various types, but this is the one I can count on to write when the others are being finicky because of the weather. It doesn't seem to freeze or plug up like the others, rolling smoothly on the paper without skipping, like a gel pen, yet it's a ballpoint. I prefer a ballpoint to gel, so this is the best of both worlds. It also has a nice cushioned grip that makes it comfortable to hold. If it matters to anyone, you don't click the top of the pen to retract it, there's a little catch switch on the side of the pen that you push in to retract. I usually order my office supplies at Staples, but I forgot when I placed an order the other day and didn't want to wait until my next order. And I found out the price on Amazon is much cheaper. Yay!

I really am enjoying these pens!

First thing: they are BALLPOINT, not gel. There are "globs" on the ends of each pen - you have to pop the glob off before you can use it. (pic attached)

Second: they are SMALLER than average pen size - people with LARGER HANDS will NOT appreciate this!!
I keep my fun colored pens, colored pencils, markers in one mug on my desk, and I have taken pics of where these pens sit in my mug.
My mug is about 4" tall, and these pens just come to the top by their click tops.
They come in a resealable zippy bag for storage if you don't have a mug to plop them into. ;-)

Third: there are 10 different colors in this pack, including regular black and regular blue.

I have attached pics of them....

I really like the pens - the ink flow is smooth (although as with any ballpoint, i keep a scrap paper handy nearby to wipe any excess ink off the tip to avoid blobs in my doodles, coloring image, etc.), the click-tops are great instead of having to hunt for caps, and I prefer ballpoint to gel because of non-smudging.

Thank you!

Great pen as a twist ballpoint.  I'm usually the click pen as I just like to pull it from my pocket and start writing.  However, with the click pen I've found that it has clicked open (where the ballpoint is exposed) sometimes in my breast pocket, but mostly is if I put it in my front pant pocket if my shirt does not have have a breast pocket.  Then, that is a problem with ink inside my pant/shirt pocket.  I'm slowly moving towards the twist pen.  All-in-all, this is a solid, heavy-weighted pen that writes great and has the two refills.  I got mine for half the price and think it is a good deal.  Enjoy!
