The best pens
I’m a lefty and super picky about pens. I hate when ink gets on my hand and pens always seem to stop working after a few weeks of use. I’m constantly trying different pens, but seem to always come back to these. They’re inexpensive, no frills, no ink on my hands and always work. Can’t ask for better than that especially for the price!!

Great pens for a great price!
Blue ink is my favorite! These are great pens, especially for the cost! They don’t skip when they write, they write until the ink runs out instead of drying up, and they last a long time.

A great easy to use writing instrument with rich ink. Dries quickly not any noticeable smudging once on paper.

My Go-To Pen!
For me, this is the perfect "in-between" thickness for a medium-point pen ... it gives a nice substantial line of color but can write fine lines as well depending on your pressure. The ink stays in the barrel - i.e., won't leak like some other brands (Pentel), & I like the softer plastic cap that has some give (without breaking) when you clip it onto something like your note pad. I kinda wish this same pen came in a click format (without any loss of the same quality & features) for easier/faster access, but I will still get these any time as my go-to favorite writing pen!

Leak everywhere
Most of the pack leaked immediately everywhere. Several were difficult to open. Worst pack I’ve had, but the price is low.
