I bought a box of these 3 or 4 years ago, just grabbing them off the shelf at a big box office store. As the years went by I got more and more impressed with them. I was used to pens having problems with getting ink flow started, but these pens always worked without any hesitation whenever I grabbed one. When our supply of these finally started getting low due to being misplaced I decided, for the first time in my life, to buy a particular brand and model of pen because I had been so pleased with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the finest disposable pen in existance., September 6, 2011

This is probably the finest disposable pen I have ever used. I have been using this type of pen almost exclusively for approximately 6 years now. It started when I finished medical school and started residency. Having to write probably the equivalent of a small novella every day in patient notes, forms and paperwork, I went through all sorts of pens, of all different brands. Gel ink pens were smooth, but smeared as I had to write quickly. Other brands of ink did not write smoothly, heck even the space pen I got, while it did not smear, was not smooth and consistent, and when yuo have to write so much, it starts to be a strain. The second thing that made a difference was the rubber grip. Most pens with a rubber grip are extremely fat and hard to use for me, since my hands are sort of on the smaller and delicate side. These pens are hardly any larger than your standard pen, and hold quite nicely, which again lowers writing fatigue. I have since then used these pens almost exclusively in my medical career. Being disposable also means that while I often lose my pens, I don't have to spend huge amounts of money on them. I liked these pens so much in fact, they are the first pens I have ever found myself keeping and using until I ran out of ink.

If you are looking for an extremely comfortable writing intstrument, especially for those of you with smaller hands, along with the smoothest ink and writing other than a gel pen, but without the smearing ink of a gel pen, this is a close to perfection as you are going to get without paying an arm and a leg.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but clip could use some work, March 24, 2010

The writing isn't quite as smooth, bold, and consistent as the classic Bic Stic, but it's more than serviceable for a relatively inexpensive ballpoint pen, and I wanted a retractable. I like the mostly-silent button action, so I don't have to be self conscious about it in meetings. One complaint I have is that the clip isn't particularly well-designed-- it's difficult to smoothly slide into a pen pocket unless you use your finger to lift the clip, because the tip isn't curved outward to funnel/guide the pocket fabric underneath it.
