uniball™ Jetstream RT Ballpoint Pens, Black Ink, 0.7mm Fine Point, 3 Count

I did quite a bit of research before buying these and kept seeing them recommended as one of the best pens for healthcare workers. Since my sister-in-law is a nurse, I decided to gift her a pack. She absolutely loves them! According to her, they write smoothly, dry quickly, and are comfortable to use during long shifts when she's constantly taking notes and filling out paperwork. I can't personally speak to daily use since I bought them as a gift, but based on her feedback, these pens definitely lived up to their reputation. A great gift idea for nurses, healthcare workers, or anyone who does a lot of writing.

This was one of my favorite pens when I was young, but on repurchase, I noticed that it no longer writes well, at least on printer paper, if your hands are sweaty. I'm not sure if this is a quality change that has occurred over a decade, if my sweat composition has changed now that I'm older, if because I have only recently written on printer paper and not notebook paper, or if the way/how long it was stored in the shipping warehouse. I used to love this pen for its relative smoothness, lack of skipping, lack of intensity needed to apply ink to paper, and lack of smearing on both paper and on the hand (making it great for left-handed people), and comfortable grip that lends itself to the whole body -- much of this remains true. However, in addition to difficulty applying ink with oily/sweaty hands, it also appears to skip more than I remember, even on a fresh piece of printer paper, making it difficult to write in very small print due to the skipping and sort of initial force needed to begin ink transfer onto paper. On the other hand, the Pilot Acroball pen has been very good to me, allowing me to write in very small print without skipping and smearing, although long sessions cause my fingers to get sore. I just wish I had found blue and red ink versions for it. I can't comment on the long-session comfort aspect of the Jetstream now, however, because it is too annoying to write small print with it. I currently use the Acroball for writing text and the Jetstream(s) for underlining and annotating a few words in color.

I have been a longtime pen aficionado, but I recently had the chance to write with one of these, and when I'm not using a fountain pen or rollerball, I use these. They write super smoothly, don't smudge, and are reasonably affordable. If you aren't looking to get super serious about pens but would like something other than the standard ballpoint, these are a good option.

These pens for the price can't be beat. They write very good, dry fast and have a great feel. Jetstream works well. Little bulky ,but that's the only negative

AMAZING! Being a leftie, this is the only pen I have tried that has left no smears or a black pinkie finger after writing! In addition, the pen write fluidly and very well. The price was affordable and the purchase was definitely worth it.

Purchased the black ink ones for my left handed son. I will say for either hand that you use, they are amazing. They are nice and smooth, no smudges worth using left hand. Even the way the ink flows, it doesn’t have any what I call “skips” when a pen can go dead for a second. The grip for your fingers fits perfectly. Was a well worth it price, especially for left handed people.

Had trouble finding pens that did not skip writing when being used or stopped writing when there was still ink in them. These pens are great. No skipping or running out before it's time!

I bought these on a review. They have gel and something else for non smear & easy glide for those of us that hand write a lot. I like the fine point for my very tiny essential calendar. I might like more medium for other stuffs but definitely watching these!

These are my favourite pens. They are lovely to write with on paper, and also especially good for drawing on fabric, i.e., for drawing around patchwork templates.

Esse veio perfeito, escreve na conhecida qualidade Jetstream

Absolutely Fantastic.... Not one person who has used the pen has said that he/she didn't like it. Very reliable.

Escribe hermoso, una compra muy innecesaria pero que vale la pena. (●'◡'●)

I don't know why so many people reported in the past that they didn't receive the full amount; I just wanted to confirm that I had no issues with my order (April 2021). I received a full box of 12 Uni-ball Jetstream RT 0.7 pens. And yes, needless to say, these are the best pens. You should read the full review by the NYT Wirecutter (Google it), they explain in detail their methodology and how/why they concluded that this is indeed the best pen. Quote from that article: "Its pigment-darkened ballpoint ink flows out smoothly and evenly, without skipping and with minimal pressure. The ink sinks into paper and dries quickly (which is great for lefties)".
