PILOTBetter Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Bundle Black, Blue, Red colors Fine Point 07, 10 COUNT

I bought one of these on a whim in a stationery store that was selling them as singles, and I instantly fell in love. It has a fine point, and writes smoothly - which is not always a combo that is easy to find. While it is made of plastic, it feels solid and well made. I ended up loving the single pen so much that I bought this multi-pack. I will say, I think the blue ones write slightly smoother than the blank ink - though it is only slightly noticeable to me. I have recommended this to other friends who love stationery and the reviews has always been positive. These will have a permanent spot in my everyday go-to pen collection.

I personally prefer the medium point InkJoy 550. That being said . . .Pilot Better Retractable Ballpoint Pen is 1 of the smoothest writing fine point pens I have used - not that I have tried all of them. The 10 count bundle pack has 4 each of black & blue, and 2 red pens. Plenty to share. The price point is good. The quality is good. I use them when I have paperwork to fill out. Being fine point, they write more cleanly than medium point or fountain pens. I can write smaller if necessary, without everything smudging together. And unless you get a lemon, they don't blob & have a long life.I don't know what other colors are available now. Once upon a time - as in 40'ish years ago - there were also green, pink, & purple. It just hasn't been important enough to me to take the time to find out. But I digress.The barrel is ridged in the area a person normally holds a pen & is skinny'ish. That could present a problem for those with sensitive fingers or have problems gripping / holding small objects. I use a pencil grip on mine so they're comfortable for me to use.I do keep a small stash of them. Do I recommend them? You bet'cha. Would I gift them? Yep.

Notes around my home and for notes to friends. Always writes clearly with no skipping. Love fine point and no smudging

I love these pens for the office - functional, smooth ink. Not the prettiest pens, so people rarely try to steal them!

I have loved this pen brand and point style/size for the past 10 years! It was preferred for the small data entry cells on work docs so I used them regularly. Then I started using them for sketching. The 10 pack is a great value for the price!

For many, many years my favorite ink pen for general use has been this Pilot pen. It is so basic, it just works all the time and if you end up completely depleting the tube that hold the ink then you simply purchase the refills and then insert them into the pen. Everybody knows that there are so many promotional ball point pens on the market and you get one and you use it for a while and then it stops working. This pen does not have that problem. There is only one aspect of this pen's manufacturing that is just the smallest bit of a shortcoming. The body of the pen is made of a type of plastic that is slightly brittle and if you subject it to significant force/pressure it will cause the plastic body to crack or break. This is the only shortcoming that I can think of after years of using this type of pen and it has been a rare event that the plastic body or the pen has cracked or broken.

These write with ease and are good pens

They write awesome!!!!
