I am one of those those extremely picky pen people who is always searching for the perfect pen. I came across the Tru Red gel pens recently and they are as close to perfect as I’ve found. The ink is smooth and consistent. The full rubber grip is great when writing or just holding during meetings. The pocket clip is sturdy and looks nicer in the pocket than many of the other cheap clips found on the popular big name brand pens. So far I really like everything about this pen. I hope Staples / Tru Red keeps making them!
