Customer Reviews for TRU RED - Retractable Quick Dry Gel Pens, Fine Point, 0.5mm, 12/Pack - Assorted

Loved the pens. Smooth writing. No blotches and full lines. Only issue is the assortment all black all blue or colors that don’t have black and blue. I would like a package with 1/2 black and 1/2 blue. The price seems a little high that’s why I gave it only 4 stars along with color assortment.

These pens are great- they're reasonably priced well-built and perform well. I am accustomed to using ballpoint pens that smear quite easily but the gel in these pens dries fast enough that I seldom if ever have smears anymore. I think the matte black finish is a nice touch; they feel elegant and sleek without being too showy or unusable. I have also enjoyed having the 0.5 mm size which is nice for writing in small notebooks and drawing as both of those require a level of detail that is difficult to obtain with a 0.7 mm pen.

I’m not a big fan of gel pens but I love these. Some highlights: Pros: - The ink dries almost instantly. You have to work really hard to smear it. Lefties should love them. - They write very smoothly especially for a fine point pen. - The line width is better than most. I write really small and can do so with these pens. - The ink color actually does match the barrel color. See that teal? That’s *exactly* the color of the ink. Are you looking for traffic cone orange? You’ve got it in this set. - Nearly everyone who has tried them loves the way the barrel feels. Cons: - They are not refillable as far as I can tell. I’ve only had them a couple of weeks I can’t comment on how long they last. Here’s the biggest compliment I can give them: If they had a metal barrel they would give my beloved fountain pens a run for their money. (Yes I might have something of a pen fetish why do you ask?)
