I write with fairly heavy hand, would I be able to use these pens/how durable are the tips?

I wouldn't write real heavy with this particular set because they are super fine metal tip almost like a needle and it will most likely bend. The 68's might be a bit better if you're worried about that. I use these for tiny spaces using a very light hand.

I have a light hand, so I would not be the right person to answer the question. They've worked great for me.

The were a present for my 12 year old daughter, she said they should be fine. Also her cousin has had hers for over a year.

I am rough on pens and have not had any problems. I did notice recently when I used a color than I don't use a lot that it didn't flow as well. Like maybe it was trying to dry up but all in all I use them over mixed media and they are holding up well so far.

They are pretty durable. If you are writing on notebook paper you may not be able to write on the back side of it. But if you are working with one sided documents you should be good.

I liked the pens because they were firm. The ink flows easily without appling any pressure. I have a heavy hand and I didn't notice any change on the heads. The ink is bright and solid it will go through paper if you go over to many times in one area. The pens are not like normal pens they are more like a sharpi. They were worth the price.

Sorry, I have never used the pen. The tip didn't last long enough to use it.

No, writing heavy handed would be a waste of ink and increase the chances of smearing even more on an already waxy paper like Rite In the Rain. Normal paper would be fine to write heavy handed, with a slight chance to smear.

I wouldn't consider them sharp, the tips are rounded, perhaps like a large ball point pen.

I would say no. It takes quite a bit of twisting and pulling to get them off, probably good so they won't slide while you're writing. I would by a pack so you can change them less often. I do think they would help you color more comfortably.

Hi Dayna B.!Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is most likely no, unless you have a note taking app to use them with. These are not a fine tip, so the accuracy needed for handwriting on your screen is not optimal. Unfortunately we do not carry a fine tip stylus for handwritten notes yet. Anything else, please let me know here at this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Have a good day!Maureen / The Friendly Swede Hi Dayna B.!Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is most likely no, unless you have a note taking app to use them with.

I'm johns wife and can answer for him. We use both these and a permanent fountain pen. These for the colour range and a good quality german one for everyday. We've never had an issue. It's up to what you can afford and what you want to do.

Not at all. The pen is actually plastic inside. The metal on the outside is rather thin, and the only part with any real weight to it is the finger grip. I wouldn't worry about heft.

For my experience, not when using the finer tips. Thats why I like these pens. In larger tip sizes, i wouldn't know for sure.

That is a good question. I have not continue to mess with them. I found the stem in the fountain pen is weak. Some broke off. I used a small narrow nail to poke the hole but it will not go into the pen. So I am not recommending them for purchase unless they include the proper ink with them. I will revisit them today because you asked. I will get back to when I figure this out. Take care Bill

I haven't broken a single tip since I purchased them 3 months ago and I use them almost everyday. I do sharpen them up every once in a while if I'm detailing.

Hi Cynthia. At this point I'm still scribbling with them all. But from my estimate, I do believe they will last as long as a normal pen. Hope this helps.

Sure, I take notes with them all the time. Just remember it is a marker and not a regular pen so it is a little thicker.

My wife and I have been using them constantly for about 2 weeks and I haven't noted any decrease in performance. I have used a similar tip to this and they last quite a while. It's nice to have replacement tips because you know you're going to have the same stylus.

I've purchased both the colored pens and the black pens and have had only one pen leak on me. I have followed other reviewer's instructions on "being gentle" and not pressing too hard or shaking them and the pens have lasted me for almost 6 months using them pretty regularly.

I think they're medium; I know they're not fine. My experience with the pens isn't good. The twisting action used to move the tip into writing position doesn't always work. The pen assembly just isn't well made. I'd look elsewhere.

Your length will be fine, but these are a heavy 1/16" or somewhere between 1.59 and 2 mm in dia. Your pen is 2.38mm which is equal to 3/32" dia. so they might have a little movement side to side. They would be worth a try just for the long lasting quality of the ink.
