– HeTaoCat 6-Pack Retractable Gel Pens, 0.5mm Black Quick-Dry (6)

These pens are great and a new personal favourite. They are very comfortable to hold, write smoothly and are much better than other more famous brands at writing in a Moleskine. I wish refills were available, as it feels like a waist to throw away a good pen when the ink runs out.

A fantastic little set , nice muted colours , comfy hold and easy to write with

Performance is excellent, ease of use, and smooth writing of gel pens! Also comfort to draw with too!

I loved the silicone grip that the pens had and the smoothness of the ink and how quickly it dries out. My only issue is that when writing for an extended period, the ink doesn't seem to cooperate and comes out more thinly than it usually does. Scribbling furiously on a different page usually fixes the problem. But all-in-all, very good pens

I am a pen snob - I am very fussy about the pens I use, and have quite a collection of carefully curated pens that flow well, sit well in the hand, and facilitate neat handwriting. To indicate my level of pen-snobbery, I have "decoy pens" in my pencil case that I lend to others who ask to borrow a pen, because I'll be damn3d if they walk off with one from my (expensive) favourites. I ordered these sceptically, based on the reviews, but knowing how fussy I am I assumed I would gift them to others if it didn't work out. WELL they did not disappoint. The box they come in isn't very beautiful - it is opaque and paper and so you cannot see the pens inside. The pens are clickable and once you click-out for the first time you will see that each nib has been covered in protective wax to stop the ink from drying out. Ink flow is smooth, the pen is comfortable to hold and it feels and looks good quality. I will be buying these again once they run out.

Very poor quality Very inadequate grip Poor ink

Reasonably nice pens but not really worth the money, I thought the packaging would be more special as they are for a gift

To be honest, I bought these pens because of how they looked. I saw that they received overall good reviews, but the look was was swung it for me. Anyway, I was not disappointed! Ver understated, sleek and modern. On top of that, they actually write really well. The glide smoothly across the paper, without leaving any ink smudges. I know that they all come in blank ink, but to some it can be a bit misleading that the colour of the pen doesn’t correspond with the colour of the ink - so don’t get fought out. As I said, my new favourite pens, and I will buy them again. Great for taking notes, journaling or even writing your first novel ;-)
