Customer Reviews for TRU RED - Retractable Quick Dry Gel Pens, Fine Point, 0.5mm, 5/Pack - Black

These pens are great- they're reasonably priced well-built and perform well. I am accustomed to using ballpoint pens that smear quite easily but the gel in these pens dries fast enough that I seldom if ever have smears anymore. I think the matte black finish is a nice touch; they feel elegant and sleek without being too showy or unusable. I have also enjoyed having the 0.5 mm size which is nice for writing in small notebooks and drawing as both of those require a level of detail that is difficult to obtain with a 0.7 mm pen.

Writes nice smooth but not too slick. I highly recommend this pen.

These pens work okay once you get the sealant off the tip but they aren't the best pens I've ever used. I haven't had them long enough to comment about longevity at this point. Overall I'm satisfied with them for cost vs value.

Writes okay. The plunger to bring pen down is awful. It is very uncomfortable. I own over two pens so I know what I am talking about.

Wanted a pen that dryed quickly with no smear and these were perfect. The only negative is they don’t roll as smooth as a gel but will buy more in the future.

It writes good even on a plastic tiles or most smooth surfaces. It consistently writes and no misses unlike other similar pens. The price is good too.
