I've used these pens for the past few years and have been very satisfied. They are comfortable to write with and I like the idea of them being retractable. The ink (I get blue medium) is clear and easy to read. Three of my adult children have switched to them as everyday pens and we all get them from Staples on line. Easy as A. B. C.
This pen leaked a giant blob on my paper the first time I tried writing with it. I though no big deal it must just be a defective one. WRONG. my entire office hates these pens. Every pen leaked ink everywhere and writing was so thick because of this that my coworkers just threw them away. Will never buy this pen again.
I'm picky about my pens to the extent that I'll buy my own supply even though my work would buy them for me (other brands anyway since it doesn't have a Staples account) and we have tons of pens my husband and I have acquired for free from various places (no I'm not a "pen-stealer"). I have gone out of my way to buy myself a supply of these in various colors though I especially like the blue ones. They write "willingly" without "ball-gaps" are a bright distinct (but professional) color effortless to write with and last a long time. They will make your life easier and are well worth the (IMO) very reasonable price! I have given them as gifts and they're appreciated!
I use these pens in my business for my employees and the client classes they teach as well as at home. They never fail are a very long lasting pen and smooth writing.
I purchased these because I was tired of people taking my more expensive pens off my desk. I thought they would reflect the price I paid but they are awesome! They are so smooth they do not clump and they do not smear and again they are so smooth! I actually put them back in my desk and I am not giving them away they are so great.
It's hard to find a good gel pen that's also inexpensive. We can't settle for the normal ball point pen because we need something more professional for signing checks and legal documents. The pen is comfortable in the grip with a soft rubbery coat. The clicker's mechanics are great it doesn't get stuck or make an annoying sound. Like all gel pens it smudges immediately after writing something. This is annoying but it's to be expected just gotta be aware. Otherwise our company loves these pens!
