5.0 out of 5 stars Simply writing with this pen does not do it justice., October 19, 2005

I'm an artist, and I use many kinds of inking pens to stylize my comic work. At a family member's house, I found a few of these and decided to test them out.

As my title said, simply writing didn't do justice for this pen. The rolling ball guarantees no stickiness, the ink being luciously gel-like and practically being one with the paper, it is so smooth and slick.

Even better is that I have never had this kind of pen leak or run, emphasizing what a high-quality tool it is. And a personal thing I find attractive is that the ink is pitch black, no faint hues whatsoever. That's just me, of course.

For artists out there, this is a good idea for drawing (reasons above and) because it has a wonderfully rounded tip, so you never need to worry about the point bending or breaking. And you still get a fine line!

Whether you are a writer, artist, or both, this is the pen I would suggest for anyone. It's a dream in a writing utensil, simply put.

I've been using this model pen for over 15 years. I started using this pen when I was in the military, where my job required me to transcribe live, foreign language radio transmissions. My colleagues and I tried many different brands and models of pens, and for me this pen offered the best performance. When speed is essential you learn to write small and the Extra Fine point is perfect. Over the years I've noticed some problems with this pen, but nothing bad enough to make me choose another pen. After beginning to use a new pen, if you leave it tip up for a long time (several months) it stops working. Also, it is necessary to use a lighter touch with this pen. If you press too hard the tip will bend and if it bends too much the pen will be useless, so using this pen in a rough environment, i.e. trying to write while in a vehicle that is driving off-road, is not recommended.

I still keep my eye out and try new pens every so often, but I keep coming back to the Pilot Precise V5 Extra Fine Point.

5.0 out of 5 stars the finest pen you'll ever use, September 3, 2002

I've been using these pens exclusively for the past 12 years, ever since I noticed that my 10th grade teacher used them to correct my english papers. I have found no pens that even come close to the pilot precise v5. They write in the perfect thickness, they never smear, and the ink flows so smoothly through the rolling ball that there's never clumping. I'm noted for my nice handwriting, and I swear that most of this neatness comes from this pen.
