ChaoQ 3 Pcs Retractable Metal Ballpoint Pens, for Gift, Business, Office | 1.0mm Medium Point Black Ink, 6 Extras Replaceable Metal Refills - Stainess Steel

I agree with many of the other reviews. These pens are a steal for the quality you get. Solid metal with a light click feel and smooth writing. I enjoy Parker Jotter, and saw these as a cheap "if I lose it no big deal" alternative. Comes with refills, and I used a Parker gel refill I had in one of them. It fits and works perfectly. Great for office use and quick grab and go. I highly recommend these.

I am a Parker pen fan and have had dozens of them. When I bought these ChaoQ pens, I also bought a Parker chrome plated pen for $13.99. I just saw these ChaoQ chrome plated pens for the ridiculous price of $8.99 (three pens and six black ink refills), and I had to try it out. To my surprise, these ChaoQ pens are just as fine and sturdy and sharp-looking as the Parker. Parker charges $6 for 3 refills. So, if you subtract $12 from the ChaoQ price (6 refills at $3 per 3 refills makes $12), you get -$3.00.Continuing the math, normally the difference in the price of one pen is 14/3, which would be the $14 price of the parker pen divided by the $3 price of the ChaoQ pen (6/3). However, the ChaoQ set came with 6 refills, which is worth $12 dollars in Parker refills. So, to find the difference, you would divide the Parker pen price of $14 by the calculated worth of the ChaoQ set, which would be $9 - $12 = -$3.00. And the result is -$4.66. So, the answer to all of this math is that you not only save $14 by not buying a Parker pen, you actually MAKE $4.66 when you buy a ChaoQ set like this.I know, it's hard to follow my math, even to me. But, let's just say that the calculated worth of a ChaoQ set was $1. Then, that would mean that the Parker pen costs $14, and the ChaoQ pen costs $1. If it was $7, the percentage savings would be 200%. If it is $1, the percentage savings is 1400%. But it is actually -$3.00 savings. I'm too tired to do the math, but it is a high number.Nerd Mode OnI like the feel of the Parker pens, especially the clicking feel and noise when you click it. It is a solid click and a solid noise. It makes me feel like there are actually gears inside there working this mechanism, kind of like in my car.However, the ChaoQ pens have a lighter feel and sound, kind of like you didn't even click anything. I would suppose that many people would prefer that. But not me. I like the heavy clicking feel and sound. Maybe because I have become used to it after 25 years.Nerd Mode OffThese ChaoQ pens are great and definitely worth the low price. I hope Parker people don't see me writing this, because I am a great fan of Parker pens and will probably keep buying them.Where is Cross? I thought they were the cream of the crop in pens.For $9 this package is well worth it.

These are objectively good pens, and a great value. They lack the snap and the weight of a proper Parker Jotter, but they do function well and write better than I’d expect at this price point.

Very handsome looking pens, so much nicer than most, mine keep disappearing. (smile) I've bought the set of 3, four times over the years. I like that they come with refills, but at the same time, they seem to run out of ink more quickly than I expect, but there is always a refill to replace it with, so far. The Refills have a hard coating on their tip to keep the ink from drying out, make sure you get all the coating off. I use a Kleenex to wipe the end hard and then test it on a scrap piece of paper to make sure it's working well, before going back to my writing. On one of my older pens the stainless steel "coating" has rubbed off on the end you click, showing a coppery colored metal. That almost lost them a star, but I changed my mind at the last minute, I do love these pens.

I love these pens. They're heavy but reasonably priced, so it's like it's a good quality pen for the money! The fact that it comes with refills, is great too. I feel very classy when I use them lol.

They are okay pens. I ended up giving them away. I need a smoother line.

Really nice pens for the price. They write smoothly, look clean and professional, and feel good in the hand. I also liked that they came with extra refills, which makes them an even better value. Very happy with this set.

Parker Pens are my go-to’s. They are the standard for making notes in the office, and are what I use at home. But I do often misplace or even lose them, so like to have extras as back up. When I saw these listed, I read the reviews. I didn’t really trust the reviews, but at the price thought them worth trying.Frankly, I was shocked at how good these are. I know some reviews mentioned that they are either too light or too heavy, but for me, they are just fine. The ink quality seems excellent, but I am unqualified to comment because I replaced the black ones that came with the set with the blue medium cartridges that I prefer.I am very happy with these and expect to buy more in the future.

As they say, you get what you pay for. The pens are very light and cheap. I've had two of them stop working after a few uses. Recommend you pay a little more for a single pen of higher quality.

We were looking for a nice pen to have at the guest book. Locally, I was unable to find any that were suitable. These were perfect. nice weight to the pen, and wrote nicely. We got 3 pens for 1/2 the price of one that was not as nice locally.

These pens are quite light weight, I’d expect a metal pen to have a bit more weight to it. It took a bit to “prime” the ink for first use, but seems to write consistently now at least. Packaging is a simple clear cellophane bag not really gift worthy but fine for self purchase.

Pen is nice but ink didn’t last long. All dried up. Wouldn’t buy again.

Good quality. Easy to write.
