uniball Jetstream Ballpoint Pen, Stick, Fine 0.7 Mm, Blue Ink, Blue Barrel

This is my favorite pen of all time. I'd order more if my wife would let me :-) I always carry one in my pocket, and I love the fact that because of the cap (instead of a push-button), it will never open in my pocket and leak or stab me. I prefer the fine-point blue now, though I used to carry a 1mm-tipped black version for years. Writes well and dries fast on more stuff than you'd expect (not everything, but definitely better than most pens). I'm not left-handed but apparently lefties smudge ink a lot when writing and this one helps avoid that, but I just enjoy writing things and not having to worry about smudging like I would with a gel pen, though it writes about as smooth as one.It's definitely not the smoothest-writing pen ever and it's not perfect, but for the price it's excellent (I mean come on, it's under $5 each!). I've probably been carrying a version of this pen for over ten years as my "everyday carry" and I always keep at least a spare in my briefcase. I've gotten so good at not losing pens as I get older that I tend to run them try rather than lose them, which at least means my stash lasts a while! I'd say with light daily use one pen lasts me 6-9 months easily. You can see how much ink is left which is nice, and they're cheap enough I usually toss them when they run out (seems harder to find refills than new pens, though they are technically refillable).One plus to not carrying a very expensive pen is if I do lose one (or one "walks away"), it's not a big deal, but it's still nice enough that I take care of it and try not to lose them often.The funniest thing is that 95% of people I loan my pen to, have no idea how to open it! They usually try twisting it first, then pushing an end, and then eventually they usually figure out (or I mention) that you pull the cap off. It does click in a bit firmly and the look is a bit ambiguous when closed, so I kind of understand, but it's still funny. And if I pull the cap off and attach it to the other end (it has good balance with and without the cap sitting on the back end) for the person, they usually write on themselves before realizing I've opened it for them. You just can't win--but just in the loaning department, in all other ways you can definitely win with this pen!They appear to have stopped carrying this precise pen in office supply stores at least around me, which is why I've had to go online to find my stock. I have had a couple of coworkers who (independently) decided on this pen as their everyday carry as well which kind of surprised me, because most people have never heard of it (or don't care, most likely).That's way too much about a pen, but I have used it heavily for over 10 years, and I do enjoy typing on my mechanical keyboard even more that writing :-)

I guess it is worth it!

Love these pens they write great and are of good quality, will buy more as needed.

I heard of these through NYT's Wirecutter, and although I frequently disagree with the choices of those critics, these are indeed the best ballpoint pens I've ever used. Smooth writing, no blotting ever, thicker than many ballpoint pens and so easier to grip, covered with nonslip material, and a great price. I've used both this version and the retractable version; both are excellent. Do yourself a favor and try these out.

Good pens for writing notes.

The absolute best pen I've found. I use these at every signing.

I am very picky about the pens I use. Very! But I hate losing expensive pens. Because of check fraud protection, the size of the barrel, the weight of the pen, and the consistently smooth flow, I've been hooked on this pen for years, but have noticed that I must be one of a few, as they are disappearing from stores. I used to get them at Walmart or Target, but now can only find the stick pen fine tip by special order. I've tried many different brands to find a replacement that was readily available, but have had to come back to the Uniball Jetstream stick pen fine point as my favorite pen ever. The larger 1.o tip is just as smooth, but I prefer the finer point. The newer version in stores now, the "sport" design, has a bigger, rougher barrel. It's fine for writing a check, but not for anything lengthy. A man with big hands would probably prefer the bigger barrel, and since there's no cap to lose and it writes just as smoothly, I'm not surprised it is the pen stores are carrying. I'm glad I can still get my favorite, though!

I’m a fanatic of pens. I have a collection of different types of pens. This pen writes so smoothly and dark. I especially like that it doesn’t smear. Definitely buying again and adding to my collection.

Found out about these from another artist . They make smooth consistent lines . Very nice !

The packing received is different from the pictures. Is the item correct?

Arrived much quicker than I expected and was exactly what I ordered. Fantastic!

En el producto se indica que es un pack de 12, pero solo mandan un bolígrafo. Creo que tendrían que cambiar la descripción.

Love these pens. Ink doesnt drip or get anywhere like some ballpoints. Smooth writing.
