Pretty good pens
on May 9, 2025
Posted by: B.H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are pretty good one you get the ink started they work pretty good they just skip a little every once in a while. The ink boldness is good especially for a fine point tip. I used them just for every day work and schoolwork. The color is also pretty bold for a blue pen.

Get These Pens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are a dream! I’m usually a chunky pen type of gal so I was a little hesitant about the fine tip. But these blew me away! They glide on the paper so easily they don’t smudge they have a comfortable grip and don’t randomly run out of ink mid-writing like some other pens. The fine tip has actually been really helpful when I’ve needed to write clearly in small spaces. Also this is probably not a selling point for most but the click sound is extremely satisfying! My husband has even stolen a few of these pens for work because he likes them so much. Highly recommended!

Wanted to like these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens write smoothly with a clean precise line and the extra fine tip is great for detailed work. The blue ink starts out bold and vibrant but I noticed the color fades with continued use. I used them for journaling and work notes and they were comfortable and reliable overall. Best feature: the smooth precise writing—though ink consistency could be better.

ProGel Pens

from Pittsburgh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using these pens a few weeks ago. I WFH and take lots of notes for work. I have my drawer packed with these. Right out of the box they each come with a little rubber protective tip so ensure the ink won't dry out. As soon as you take it off the pen writes beautifully. It doesn't skip the fine point keeps writing neat and not messy the ink doesn't bleed through the paper and doesn't smudge. They are not at all expensive so you really do get a good writing utensil for cheap.

Smooth writing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pens are super easy to use and write very smoothly. The color is bold and dries quick to prevent smudging. The grip is comfy and easy to hold for long writing sessions. Definitely a great product to have to stock up the home office.

Eventually great

from Nine Mile Falls
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a nice gel feel these will eventually get you there. However it can take some time before the gel flows smoothly. I had to write several notes before they started to behave like gel pins. At first they were very scratchy and the ink was faint. There is lots of ink though so there will be ample opportunity for smooth gel writing which is very bright and bold if you can handle some breaking in time.

Great grip

from Atlanta
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this pen for note-taking at work for several days. I like the grip and the color even though it's a lighter shade of blue. It feels a bit scratchy when writing and not as smooth as other pens. It doesn't smear or lead to messy handwriting so overall I like using it.

Smooth and Dry
on May 8, 2025
Posted by: A.B.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ProGel pen writes super smoothly and the ink dries almost instantly—no smudges at all even for lefties. The triangle-shaped grip is comfy and makes it easy to hold for long writing sessions. Definitely a solid pick if you like clean easy writing.
