Fengtaiyuan038P18, Black Gel Ink Rollerball Pens - Comfortable Non-Slip Grip, Black Ink, Ultra Fine, 0.38mm, Quick-Drying Ink, 18-Piece Box (038P18)

love the larger diameter barrel for comfort along with the soft feel silicone grip & finish...has a very large capacity refill...& a very simple solid design with low tolerance precision where it's most needed...where the tip sticks out the hole...& dries very fast for all you lefties...the single most exceptional value I've found in a semi disposable rollerball writing instrument...would purchase again & recommend to anyone who writes a lot...I write Science fiction stories out in longhand so therefore feel qualified to chime about this...also the seller was very quick...packaging was perfect...& the whole purchase left me very satisfied

It looks nice. Operation is smooth. Texture is very nice. A bit more weight would be better, but for the price, it's a lot to ask for. It writes on surfaces most ball-point pen's don't. It makes nice dark and bold writing which is especially good for the visually impaired. Not good for writing small.

I really love to write with these pens- they are smooth, nice and bold, and don't really glop. The only problem I've had after using them for several months is that the cap has cracked on a couple and after that happens, it won't stay on and the ink dries up. These are not inexpensive pens and would feel 110% about paying the money if I didn't lose a couple due to this problem.

I love the way the fit in my hand. Issuing these pens makes it easier to write more clearly and I have better penmanship. I often put lotion on my hands and then go to write and find it difficult because the oil gets on the paper and then my pen won't write, however, that does not happen with these pens and I LOVE that. It makes a huge difference because I write fast and these pens make it possible for me to go at the speed I wish to without losing my quality of penmanship or getting stuck writing over areas that the ink otherwise wouldn't transfer due to oil from my hands. My only complaint is that the pens do run out of ink fast. Though, I haven't compared it to other pens in terms of how quickly they run out since I only started to notice that with these pens and my writing has probably increased a bit. I bought this box of pens 2 months ago and have 4 of them left and have gone through about 2.5-3 average sized journals with them. That seems excessive to me, however, the quality makes such a different that I'm buying another box. Also, the ink doesn't smear or get on my hands and I like that a lot, too, so overall, it's been well worth it. I do have to be careful not to set the pen down on fabric without the lid because the ink can transfer to fabric easily by just touching it with even the side of the tip.

These pens offer an incredibly smooth, sharp script and feel great in the hand, however, about 1/3 of them had some kind of flaw in the nib that prevents ink from flowing consistently, no matter how many times its used. I've tried all the old tricks, which I won't get into here because they all sound like euphamisms, but they still won't work. I've even tried heating them repeatedly by placing the nib in hot water, hoping to break down any deposits that might be effecting the flow, but without success.

Love these pens. For the price you can’t go wrong. My company used to give out the Cali bic pens and we started running out so I started purchasing these pens in different colors and they are awesome ! If you like/love pens… these pens are for you !!

UPDATED Review, on July 31, 2021:Downgraded to ONE Star.----->> These pens ARE TRASH.------>> Do NOT Buy these pens.The first Three pens managed less than 30 pages each.That's a joke.The Fourth pen only managed 17 pages. SEVENTEEN Pages.That's not a joke.That's an insult to the consumer.Revised review to a One Star, but these pens are worth even less than that.Buy Other pens. Period.I will Never recommend these pens, and I will Never buy them again.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Original Review, gave 2 stars on July 25, 2021:These pens are a real let down.They run Dry faster than Any pen I can remember Ever using.Look, I write a bit: typically I fill a 70 sheet (140 page) spiral notebook with personal/creative notes every 4-5 weeks.Most times, I get a pen that will write at least one and-a-half to two notebooks (150-200 pages) before running dry. This is the Standard as far as I am concerned.A pen *must* be able to fill a minimum of at Least 150 pages with writing in order to be considered a decent pen, and must fill at least 170 pages in order to be considered a Good pen.These Fengtaiyuan 07P18 pens, though; well, they only seem able to write about 25-30 pages each.I am now on the *Third Pen* in One Notebook already.I have only filled 56 pages of a Single 140 page notebook.That means each pen so far managed to write about 28 pages.A pen that writes only 28 pages is simply a waste of money.A typical college student would jot more than 28 pages of notes by the end of his or her third lecture, depending on professor and student......Either way, that is more than one dry pen per day of classes.That does not cut it.On the plus side, the satiny finish of these pens does make them comfortable to hold, and they do write pretty smoothly.Those two pluses, however, are simply not enough to offset the immense negative of such poor longevity.If one only wants to jot grocery list notes, or quick "notes to self," then these pens are passing fair, but they are not adequate for the challenge of more lengthy writing of any kind.I will Not recommend these pens, and I will Not buy them again.

Love 'em.

This is the second box I've purchased -- this time for a friend. Truly excellent quality and VERY smooth flow. Perfect for work situations where you don't want to lose an expensive pen, or need a backup during client visits. I'll keep buying

Bought these for work. Someone at the office had them. And I went ahead and ordered them for myself. Really good quality pens for cheap

No doubt the pen body is very smooth. Easy to hold, have nice grip to write. but its lid made with cheap material. Even the refill is not that good as the pen body. The ink skips to write while writing.

Easy to write with. Easy flowing gel ink. Did not stop working halfway through the ink like most other gel pens. Attractive pens in an attractive box and would make a great gift. Would highly recommend this product. Have already used 2 pens completely and can see myself purchasing again.
