4.0 out of 5 stars Classic pen does everything it needs to do, July 24, 2009

This review is from: BIC Cristal Stic Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0 mm), Black, 120 Pens (Office Product)

My brother recently purchased this package of Bic Cristals (and I purchased the similar 12-pack set of Bic Shimmers) to share with me. I am a long-time Cristal user. It is very basic and simple but always works well, down to the last millimeter of ink. Whether you press very heavily or lightly when you write, it will be nothing but smooth writing. You don't need to "warm it up" by drawing doodling on another sheet of paper first. There is not that much more in the way of new things that I can say about this pen; other reviewers have done a great job discussing the quality of the pens.

My only gripe--and the reason why I give this bundle a 4 of 5 stars--is that Amazon has currently priced these at over $19 for a dozen packs of 10; that's about $1.60 per pack. I often purchase these same individual packs at Rite Aid and Wal-Mart for $0.85; they even retail at $1.39 or less on various web sites.

Bottom line: I can't say enough good things about all Bic Cristal pens, but be sure to look into the prices, as you may be paying a hefty premium for these pens on Amazon if they are not more discounted.

3.0 out of 5 stars what happened to Bic?, May 28, 2009

This review is from: BIC Cristal Stic Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0 mm), Red, 120 Pens (Office Product)

I used to use these pens when I was in school and they were great (I used the blue and black ones, not red). But I just bought a pack of these and they don't seem to work well at all, ink not flowing that well and for some reason, the ink color is VERY light. I don't understand what happened to Bic, unless they've become one of the many companies today who outsource their manufacturing and so make products of substantially reduced quality. My Paper Mate red pens are far better and the ink a proper red color. I don't think I'll be buying Bic pens again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The pen that no one steals!, June 27, 2011

This review is from: BIC Cristal Stic Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0 mm), Blue, 10 Pens (Office Product)

This pen is what it is....cheap and it works! The best thing is that no one steals this pen. I don't think Bic knew years ago when they developed this pen that they were setting the standard.

I am a manager in an office; it is like any other office all over the world. We buy pens, then the workers steal the pens. I have tried all types but to no end. I have had mild success with the Bic Round Stick but again they stay around only slightly longer than other more expensive types of pens. However, upon trying this pen I have reached success; I cannot give these pens away! Don't get me wrong, they work great and don't leak. But when people come asking for pens I offer these. The typical response is a frown or a scowl like the smell of spoiled food and then they just walk away. I walk around the office like a Santa Claus of sorts putting handfuls of these in everyone's pen holders. Weeks later when all other types of pens have disappeared these pens remain.

If you are in a similar situation as me buy these pens!
