At first I did not like them because they did not seem to be as red as I would have liked. But then when I compared it to an old pen from another company I saw that it was just a matter of darkness your pen is probably more of a true red. So I would have to give it high marks.
I tried 4 of the twelve ; none of them worked. I returned them and purchased BICs. It would appear that they forgot to actually put a ball in it. Should be ZERO STARS.
