smttw 5-Pack Retractable Neck Pens with Lanyard - Dual Color Ink Ballpoint Pens with Chain for Nurses, Students, Office, School, and Home Supplies

We bought these for a silly, fun reason! We do a lot of mini golf on vacation but hate carrying around the little pencil. We bought these for score keeping and they worked perfect for that. The colors are also fun, we marked hole in ones in a different color

I bought these for my daughter's teachers as they have to write down the temperature of the students as well as who brought them in (she's in a head start program), and I noticed them always having to hold their pens or put them down to help a child. With these necklace pens they literally do not lose them anywhere! It's easy to write on their clipboard, drop the pen to their chest, and boom! No more trying to find where the pen went. This pack also has a little part to where you can press on the sides, and the pen comes off the necklace, which is great when they need to write, but don't want to take off the whole necklace. It just snaps right back on as well. They also have two "color's", I kept one, which is red and a black on the other side. These are just big enough to be super easy to write with, so I would also recommend them for elders. The quality is on par as well, and they have worked wonders for myself in the office.

I always go around work stations and buildings in my line of work as a nurse . I always look for a pen despite just holding one few minutes ago. Having a pen attached to a lanyard comes handy. When needed, I just detach the pen from the lanyard. So it is not retractable. I do not see how that will work as there is tension on the string. It will be hard to maneuver. I also like the idea that the pen is not hanging upside down. I don’t have to worry about ink spills. The downside that I observed is it comes with a cheaply made lanyard. I will score it 5 stars if the lanyard is quality thick with sturdy fibers. I say that because the lanyard happened to stick to the Velcro snap from my bag where I pulled it out from. The fibers became loose and fuzzy. Otherwise, it is thumbs up for the idea.

2 of them don’t work - seems to be empty of ink

This is a good set of pens and the lanyard is comfortable.

The pens on a string are very nice & write well.

I bought these for a job that requires me to write on tickets constantly. Seemed easier to get a pen that went around my neck so I wouldn't have to keep pulling a pen off the collar or my shirt all night. Now, with 5 pens for around $8 I wasn't expecting the best pen on the planet, I knew I was probably buying something that wouldn't last long. I had, however, hoped that one of these pens would at least last me a month or so.... the first pen didn't last an hour. The button that popped down one of the two colors fell out of place after about 4 clicks and then wouldn't keep that color from dropping down. It wouldn't lock into place either so I couldn't use that color or get it out of the way to use the color that did still work. I threw the first one away after 2 hours, probably won't bother even trying the other ones. If I could give negative stars I would.

Extremely poor quality. 1st one broke within 2 hours of use.
