Nice pens but they just don't work.

We bought a box and they all have the same issue they write a word or two and then stop. After twenty minutes of shaking the flow begins again for another word. Best use for these pens is signing a signature for a very short name. Is your name Tom Cox? Perfect Pen! I've learned to keep them with the nib down and they work for a second. I don't want to waste the box by throwing them all out but it's painful. I will be so glad when I am finally done with these. Very bad. Pick any other pen do not get these.
We picked up this ink pen looking for a gel pen to use in the office. It is smooth long lasting and there have been very rare occasions where the ink ran out midline due to an air bubble or such. It is a good office pen
Great pen. We use this pen in our office especially in our busy season of teacher new hires. It also copies and scans clearly which is important for our record keeping.
I was very surprised that one of the pens started leaking. I purchased a dozen. The first three in the box were perfect. The fourth one leaked. The price is right. Overall a good buy.
I immediately liked the feel of this pen although it took a little bit to get past the "rubber feel" of the cylinder. The ballpoint refill in the one I found in our office supply cabinet was sluggish at best. Probably because it was old and nobody wanted it. I disassembled the pen and found that the refill was covered by a plastic sleeve the same color as the ink. That sleeve "fattened the refill to the same size as the Uni-Ball Signo 207 except that the Signo refill was about 1/4 inch longer. I took the Uniball refill and trimmed 1/4 inch off the end removed the sleeve from the Sonix and "Voilla!" I now have a great pen with a great refill. I never liked the chasis of the Uniball and combining these two made a great pen.
