uni-ball Jetstream 12 Count (Pack of 1), Rollerball Pen - Black

Good pens

Excelente

Very happy with this purchase.

I've gone through 5 of these pens now. They're fine the first few hours of use, afterwards they no longer run smoothly (even though there's still plenty of ink)

After reading the Wire Cutter review, I decided to buy a package of these and test them. The writing is indeed smooth, however the light weight(11 grams)and platicky feel of the pen detracts from the experience. I also bought a pushbutton Jetstream Prime pen weighing prhaps 20 to 25 grams for under $10. It came with a 0.7 refill though, which geels scratchy compared to the 1.0 thatcame with the RT. As for the price, at $1.75 a pen for the RT, the almost as good BIC Glide(Velocity) seems like a much better value at less than half the price. The Velocity is also very smooth and smudge resistant. In the past I have used mostly Parker, and Papermate Lubriglide pens, however I also own an authentic Mont Blanc ballpoint, and some Lamy ballpoint pens. The Lamy Logo at around $16 seems like a good value for a premium quality pen(I recently bought a second one). The Montblanc pens Imo aren't worth the price. I bought the Parker pens years ago when the pricing was much better.

The pen, ink, construction of this is suberb yet it's outer rubberize, gribby covering prevents its ability to slide easily back into my shirt pocket easily If this is not a need of yours then this pen is one of the 3 best made ballpoints I've ever experienced! Absolutely NO SMEARING, LIGHTENINGLY QUJCK DRYING INK & VERY COMFORTABLE IN MY LARGE MAN HANDS. ReFills available at half the expense of a new 2-piece. Either way, Get This Pen!
