Customer Reviews for Staples - ProGel Retractable Gel Pen, Fine Point, 0.7mm, 36/Pack - Black Ink

Alas, these gel pens are not reliable. The ink doesn’t flow well, or it skips. One of the pens actually squeaked as I wrote. I thought I was saving money but it was a waste.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good pens. I bought them because I read somewhere that it's harder for people to erase gel ink on checks, which I still use. Smooth writing and feels good in the hand
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pens are not good. They are not as good as BIC.

Pens look like the BIC, but they are not the same. It is hard to write with. This is like fooling the customer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
