The pen has an excellent liquid flow (although it does take a few moments to dry on paper). Impact RT is bigger than the average Uniball pen, and the rubber grip adds a degree of comfort. Overall, a better pen than the Pilot Precise.

If you enjoy the feel of a good writing instrument, you will love writing with this pen. The 1.0mm is a bold line, not too thick but just right. It uses ink quickly , which in this case and for the price is great thing. It is a great thing because the flow of the ink is smooth, effortless, and makes a statement. However your handwriting , you will find this pen increases the quality of it. If you love a good pen as I , you will love this pen. BTW, I first discovered the pen at a high powered attorney's office. No, don't stop reading. He could afford the best for his custmers and he was very discriminating in all things and chose this for his high profile clientele. At $2.13 a pen you will love it! Have fun writing again .

I ordered a box of these pens back in 1999. I had just returned to the U.S. after several years working in Japan, where I became a loyal customer of Sanford.

I recommend this pen for people with large hands or who find the thin barreled pens uncomfortable to use. The Gel Impact RT is 50% wider than a standard pencil and features a rubber grip that helps with control and comfort. The 1.0mm pen stroke is solid and flows easily (hint: at first use or when loading a refill, make a line of 20 check marks; this helps open up the ink flow behind the ball point).

A number of co-workers and friends have borrowed my pens over the years. Sometimes I get them back, often I don't. The pens are so popular and in demand that our office now stocks them and refills.

I carry two of these pens (blue and red) in my FranklinCovey compact Sedona Leather planner (check my Amazon review for more information) and a spare refill in the planner's zipper pouch.

I'm a pen freak. I only can write legibly and comfortably if I like the pen I'm using. I take notes constantly at work as I'm talking to people over the phone (I think it's distracting to people to hear me typing as we talk). My favorite pen for years has been a Pilot G2 .07 blue ink. Well, a few months ago my G2 ran out of ink, and the only refill in the supply closet at work was a cartridge for an Impact RT. It's slightly longer than a G2 refill, but I gave it a shot and it fits...and WOW!

I like a bold line, and this is BOLD! It's almost like writing with a fountain pen. I just love the flow of the ink and the look of the lines it makes. I've only ever used these refills in my G2 pens, so I have no experience with the actual Impact RT pen. But the cartridge itself is my favorite of all time. The ink can smear if you don't let it dry first, but I kind of like the old-fashionedness of that, for some reason. Anyway, love it.

This pen writes well - just as good as any uniball pen. The ink dries fast, which is also good. The function that appeals to me the most though is the clip. When you clip the pen to something, the tip retracts. I wear a pen in the button of my polo shirts at work, and these pens can't mark up my t-shirts. I know that won't matter to everyone, but to me it's a godsend. Excellent pen!

For years I used fountain pens and ruined many a shirt. These write a bold strong line with a smooth roller ball feel. The gel doesn't write a long time, so you will go through them faster than you think. I am ordering 48 more. They are the best writing gel pens I have found.

The product I ordered was delivered promptly. My account was charged properly. The product was everything I expected it to be and it saved me the hassle of going to a bunch of stores to find it. Amazon provides a very convenient way to shop and it relieves the drudgery of slogging around the stores trying to find what you want.

I bought this set of pens expecting them to write for a while before they dried up. One pen out of a dozen wrote, and then only for a short time. It's like they had been out in the sun or something and just dried up. I have never shipped anything back to Amazon, but these I returned. I quickly got a credit for the return; I was impressed with the speed of the return and the fact I didn't have to pay return shipping. Thanks Amazon for making good on a product that could have been a good one had it not been defective.

The best inexpensive rollerball pen on the market. When the pen goes dry, refill it for half the price of a new one. Easy to write with as it puts down a lot of ink. Because of this, the pens last about half as long as regular ballpoint pens; but, so what? These make writing fun.

These are actually my favorite pen. I am writing all day. These are smooth, the ink flows great and I like the 1 mm width. Try them!
