4.0 out of 5 stars Great pen, January 6, 2010

This review is from: BIC Z4+ Needle Point Roller Pen, Extra Fine Point (0.5 mm), Black, 12 Rollers (Office Product)

I first bought the pen at a pharmacy and simply loved it. I had difficulty finding it (the pharmacy discontinued it). I googled and found it on Amazon.

Writes extremely well. The 0.7 is great but I prefer the 0.5 better.

The only thing is - every now and then, the pen's ink would explode on my hand. It happened about 1 in every 6 pens used. I initially thought it was the pressure from the airplanes as I travel a lot, but it happened at work with the pens left at the desk.. A bad flaw.

But it is the best pen I have used (other than the pricey Mont Blancs and Waterman...)

This pen ruined my favorite pair of shorts! Seriously.

Yes, it writes nicely, although maybe a little too fluidly.

But it has a tiny cap that doesn't snap on as easily as most gel pens I have used. I much prefer my old Pentel Engergel. I had only bought the bic z4+ because I was at a store that did not sell the Pentel brand.

I have been using gel pens for my current job for over 6 years and the following has never happened until I used the bic z4+ :

This Z4+ ended up destroying my favourite pair of shorts, because the cap had not snapped on properly. And even though the pen was not "leaking," per se (it was not broken), it still leaks if you have the cap off and it is pressing against something. In this case, that something was the bottom of my pocket.It ended up leaking all over my pocket. When I got home my leg was black underneath my shorts. I couldn't believe how much it leaked, especially considering the pen had not broken! I couldn't fully get the stain out with the two kinds of stain removers i tried in two seperate washes. And unfortunately the stain removers faded my shorts. Or one of them did. So I'm not too happy with Bic right now. Or Oxiclean & Spray n Wash Oxymax (the two stain removers i tried). Grr! I wonder if i can sue Bic over this?

If you think you can be really careful to make sure the cap is always on, then by all means use this pen, but otherwise I would use the Pentel Energel.

My company recieved these pens for advertising. I love the way it writes. It's very smooth. I keep a bunch in my desk drawer, but they always seem to go missing because everyone loves writing with these too.
