PILOTEasyTouch Refillable & Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Fine Point, Blue Ink, 12-Pack (32211)

I love these fine tip ball pens that make my hand writing shine and crystally sharp.

I have always liked Pilot pens, especially in fine ballpoint blue ink. They are of higher quality than other brands, and I have yet to own one that dried out. Don't hesitate to buy these pens, they will work well for you.

My favorite pen for writing small in my journal.

This is the first Retractable Red Ink Ballpoint pen that writes smoothly right out of the box, and continuosly puts the ink on the paper without skipping and smearing. I can't count how many retractable red ink pens I've tried, from the cheap to the expensive, from the unknown to the name brand, none of them worked right!This is a retractable red ink fine point pen that does NOT skip, does NOT soak, does NOT leak, does NOT smear and you DO NOT have to scribble with it to get the ink to flow. It works just the way you want it to, a reliable smooth rolling ballpoint pen which fits nicely in the hand. With the fine point, I can print/write in small detail which is clear to read without the ink smearing and closing in on the letters. This pen is well designed and it has that feel to it as you use it.

These used to be my favorite pen. Well, ok, they still are. The issue is that I found pens that are almost as good at the dollar store (in the USA) that are a fraction of the price. These are clickable from the top and those you have to push the side of the clip, which is nice. The biggest issue after price that I have with these is that the clip often gets broken--if this were stronger it would be more worth it's price. I don't have that issue with the cheaper pens. The second best thing about these is that they are reusable. If you buy a bunch of "those inner things that hold the ink" (I simply can't think of what they are called at the moment), you can replace it and keep going. You can't do that with the cheaper pens, but have to throw them away. The only issue is with this is that, because the clip tends to break, I often don't want to just replace the ink anyway, so these are definitely in the disposable category, which is great if you tend to lose your pens often. My favorite thing about these is how they fit in my hand. I find most pens annoying because they are too wide or are made of materials that I don't like the feel of (I'm sensory sensitive). Not these. I can write for a long time and not even notice the pen because it's so comfortable. The grip is comfortable with a comfortable material and texture--much better than the dollar store ones. So, I wouldn't expect to pay a dollar for 8 or 10 or whatever it is, but I'd buy these hands down over those if these were cheaper. Meanwhile it's nice to see there's a cheaper alternative. It's too bad they don't have a bit more ink also (they have less than the cheaper ones), because I'm regularly running them out of ink. Overall, these are great pens and highly recommended.

Since I'm left-handed, I stay away from gel pens, and this Pilot EasyTouch Pen is my go-to, always. One point, though, not a problem, but the refills are as expensive as buying new ones. Put you do save in the long run on helping the planet; always a good thing!

I've been using these pens for over a decade. The paper I have to write on at work has a very thin wax-like coating on it and almost all other pens smear very easily on it. But these do not. They work great.

I love these pens, they write smooth and feel comfortable to hold. Very good quality pen.
