STAPLES TRU RED Ballpoint Pen Fine Point 0.7mm Black Dozen

Nothing to complain about! I’m so happy this is the best pen to write in my journal with.

This is a set of inexpensive but highly effective pens - great for everyday use. They are superior to the cheap see-through BIC pens I have in my office. These have good, free flowing ink and work well for my purposes. The price is good and I'm satisfied with them.

These are the best ballpoint pens I've ever used, by far. Super smooth writing, nice ink, and my hands don't cramp holding them. Just a solid 10/10 ballpoint. I will be buying them until they no longer exist, and then I'll be sad.

I love the way these pens write, but I'm not sure if they're worth it with how unpredictable they are. the rubber seal on the end of the pen's tip either takes out the entire tip completely, rendering the pen useless, or the seal comes off and the pen may or may not write well. The tip coming out of the pen also ends up leaving ink everywhere you touch. if you enjoy 1/5 pens writing well and uncertainty every time you grab a new one, this is the pen for you.

The pen falls apart easily but it writes very smoothly!!!!!!

First three pens out of the box either don't work at all or worked very poorly. Ink seems dried up, or just not flowing. The fourth pen out had the ballpoint in the nib just plain fall out, and it couldn't be put back in!!And yes, we did remove the little protective nib cover on the tip before use.Time has passed, and I've been able to get a couple of the pens working. Overall, NOT a comfortable pen for aged hands -- too narrow, painful to grip for long periods. The ink seems to flow sparsely, and one is left with gaps in the writing stroke, unless you write at a very slow pace.These Tru Red "Stick Pens" are NOT equivalent to the Tru Red Clickable pens, which are far superior in design, construction and performance.I'd return all of these Stick Pens (two boxes worth), except I'm already past the 30-day return windown. WARNING: If you buy these, test them immediately!!! Don't wait!!

They definitely right well but you do have to be holding them exactly right for them to write as well as you need them to, but with ballpoint pens that’s pretty standard. I would say they are a great value for the price a dozen of them for us cheap as they are is definitely a good deal. Compared to the regular retractable version they are a little less smooth with writing, but not by much at all and as long as you hold it perfectly they do very well! They don’t smear as long as it’s dry if you rub it, but if it gets wet, it may smear.

These are the best pens. I’m a pen-freak. I love them. I used one and loved it so I searched for quite a while for these, and am so happy to have located them.
