I highly recommend these for pens. They are the Helvetica of pens. Are they fancy? No. Do they work very well? Yes. Do they last forever? Yes.

wanted to love these

I love how these pens write but one lasted a week.... opened it up and it was completely out of ink. Not sure where it went. Today I picked one up out of the cup on my desk that I just used yesterday and it leaked ink all over my hand. The others sometimes work but I find lots of blobs of ink everywhere. They're going to end up costing a ton of money when they leak on the wrong thing. Won't be buying these again.

These gel pens are really nice. Ink dries quickly so I haven't had a problem with smears or smudges. What I really like is that these pens have a cap so when they are in my pen holder pocket or purse the ink doesn't run out all over the place. No blobs of ink either. Nice clean gel pens!!

Must Buy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Gel Pen .5mm is one of the most smoothest writing pen. As a social worker / Psychotherapist I am writing notes all day long. I am impressed at how smooth the pen writes without running. I was able to take notes without fear of smudges. The black and blue are a must have. The colorful ones (orange purple green aqua blue and red) are bright but do not serve as highlighters. Over all these are durable great pens. The pens are not lightweight however do not hurt your wrist when writing all day. I will be recommending these pens to all my colleagues and making a suggestion to our purchasing department so that these can be added to our monthly supply list. I do not know how long the ink will last but I am looking forward to finding out.

Amazing Gel Pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to be honest I am not a pen person. However I was amazed by these pens. The colors are bright and they write beautifully. I love how smooth they are. I would buy these pens. My coworker asked me if she could have them when I was done with the study (knowing that I am a pencil person) but I said... no. Love love love.

I loved these pens and I am very picky about the pens I use! These are great and perfect for left-handed people.....they do not smear on your hands!

I really like the vibrant colors of these pens and I like the fact that the writing tip is .5. What I didn’t like was the fact that once the ink hits the paper it spreads out wider than the .5 tip. I know it’s a gel but I didn’t think gels were supposed to spread that way. If you don’t mind thick writing then these are perfect. If you don’t then they are lacking.
