I’m not a big fan of gel pens but I love these. Some highlights: Pros: - The ink dries almost instantly. You have to work really hard to smear it. Lefties should love them. - They write very smoothly especially for a fine point pen. - The line width is better than most. I write really small and can do so with these pens. - The ink color actually does match the barrel color. See that teal? That’s *exactly* the color of the ink. Are you looking for traffic cone orange? You’ve got it in this set. - Nearly everyone who has tried them loves the way the barrel feels. Cons: - They are not refillable as far as I can tell. I’ve only had them a couple of weeks I can’t comment on how long they last. Here’s the biggest compliment I can give them: If they had a metal barrel they would give my beloved fountain pens a run for their money. (Yes I might have something of a pen fetish why do you ask?)

The rubberized body of the pen is nice but it writes rough. Probably will not buy again. The pilot g2 definitely out performs.

I love a good pen and with Tru Red retractable I found one. I think it is probably the smoothest-writing pen I've every owned. I would highly recommend it.

These pens wrote super smoothly and the colors were incredible. Told my fellow pen lovers about these guys and they purchased a pack too!

The pen writes nice but only for a couple days. Within 2 days the pen was out of ink. I wouldn’t recommend buying these.

I like gel pens but too often there is smearing. These pens do not smear unless you deliberately try to do so. Also affordable.

The quality of the ink and fine point are fantastic. The whole pen exterior is comprised of a rubber grip material so it is comfortable. A big downside for me was how big the pen was. I prefer a slimmer pen body this was quite opposite. The pack came with 5 pens and I would say it was a fair price for the fine point gel pen pack.

Tru Red is a very good gel pen. I have tried almost every pen on the market and this one is in the top three.
