These pens are pretty consistent and write really well. The only knock I have is that it turns out that I'm not a fan of 0.5mm thickness. That's not on these pens but on me so I'll still give these pens 5 out of 5 stars. I'm sure if I would've bought the 0.7mm thickness I'd probably use them more.
On my 2nd pack. Some write amazing better than the higher price brands. However this pack does not work like my first. The ink does not come out smooth.
We used these at the office and at home. They do not skip or smear. And we love the variety pack for taking notes. We prefer the cap type pen because they do not leak in your pocket/hand bag. We have purchased these over and over. They are a great buy.
I don't normally expect store brand products to surpass name brands but these TRU RED gel pens are fantastic! Not only do they write very smoothly they're also very sleek and modern in design. The weight of the pen is also very good.
