Weighted Pens For Hand Tremors | Heavy Pen For Essential Tremor Aid (2 Pack) Black

These are much better quality than the weighted click ball point pens with the rubber grip. These write smoothly and having a cap prevents ink from leaking on clothes. I’ve given these pens to my husband who has nerve damage and to my grandmother who has tremors. Both feel like the weighted pen has made it easier to write. I’ll be purchasing more.

I bought these for my mom who has pretty bad hand tremors. She has a hard time writing by hand and signing her name so I thought these might help. Because they're weighted I feel like she has an easier time writing, she said because they are wider than most pens it's easier for her to grip and hold the pen. She also likes how smooth the pen writes. These aren't the end all be all but they are a good addition to help with an important every day task.

I bought this in the hope it would make writing a little easier. I suffered Carpal Tunnel Syndrome when I was in my late 20's & due to 2 back to back pregnancies was not able to have the surgery until my sons were born, unfortunately, by that time I had nerve damage. I thought this sounded like a good idea because I had tried once putting two pen caps on a BIC pen because I couldn't find the 2nd pen and to my surprise, the extra weight made writing easier so when I saw these I thought they would work great. The 1st problem I experienced was they skip and blotch BADLY and if I was not very careful I wound-up with a streak of ink across the page as I was writing. The 2nd issue with these pens is that they are unbalanced. When you put the lid on the back of the pen the pen becomes instantly overweighted in the back and I had to shift how I held the way I pen in order to comfortably keep the pen on the paper. I actually tried a suggestion given by another buyer who shared how they had used lead solder wrapped around the ink cartridge to bring some more weight to the bottom and center of the pen, IT WORKED VERY WELL. Now, I am looking to find out if 'SenseAid' company who sells the pens makes a 'Ball Point' refill for the pen and not a gel ink cartridge. I truly hope 'SenseAid' reads these reviews as they have a potentially good product here, which, with a few adjustments, could really help with a lot of people. If I can just find a 'Ball Point' cartridge for these pens then I will be using them. I'm hoping a standard size refill may work. Thank you for the opportunity to review this interesting product.

nice pen but a little too heavy for me. I have arthiritis in my hands and this is tough to use

Weight is perfect for helping to keep tremors down while trying to write. Also writes so well my friend loved it and wanted one even though she didn’t need a weighted pen. lol would buy again

I have an essential tremor that makes handwriting difficult, so looked for a weighted pen to make it easier. These pens are nicely weighted, but that's mostly all I can say about them. There are some issues. On one of the two pens, the ballpoint tip isn't locked in place. When I try to write, it retracts into the barrel of the pen. The ballpoint tips don't write a clean line, but wide and fuzzy. I learned by trial and error that the pen writes more easily with the cap on, but I'm still unsure about the balance. I think I'll keep looking.

The pen is good quality and writes well. However, if you ad pressure while writing the tip of the pen retracs. I'm still able to write, but it's uncomfortable and tough to keep the tip of the ben exposed. Both pens were the same, right out of the box.

My husband had these pens - he has arthritis & I always used these- I bought for my mother cause she had Parkinson’s disease- I ordered for me too - Fantastcal & it’s worth the money & best of all they come in pairs - highly recommended
