Sxn-210 Jetstream Rt Ballpoint Pens, Black Smudge Resistant And Tamper Free Ink, 1.0mm Ball, Rubberized Grip, Box Of 12 Piece

On of the best pens I’ve tried but none matching this price

I feel ridiculous that I'm rating a pen. I'm the type that all my pens came from my work office supply or just free from somewhere. I personally never bought any pens so seeing pens for $30 seemed a bit much but through research found thats fairly typical for good quality pens. For me sometimes youd get a free pen and it would just be so easy to write with so I figured I'd try to find one of those "good" pens. Because I'll tell you when you write alot you realize not all pens are equal some require so much pressure or lack a smooth ink flow. Others smudge easly so you now have a messed up page and hands. The type of pen I was looking for was light weight, wrote smoothly, did not need pressure to write, did not smudge, dried fast, and had a click type retraction instead of a pen cap. This pen met all criteria. I was pleasantly surprised how light it was and how easy it is to write with. I really hope they continue to make this pen

Nice pen

This pen isn't cheap and yet writes exactly like a 10 cent pen. I have no problem paying for quality, but this is nowhere near what I expected for what I paid for unfortunately.

I have spent much time hunting for the perfect pen for me. My job involves constant note-taking, and these notes are then filed and could be used in court to make me look sloppy, so I am very keen that the pen be completely reliable, comfortable and without smudging. I also like to use nice notepads for lists and the like (currently loving Leuchtturm1917 pads) and I'd like an ink that looks like it belongs there. Finally, I want the pen to be inexpensive, because I lose the flaming things all the time. So, in my experience using them for the past year, Jetstream pens are... RELIABLE- I've never had one that dries up 5 minutes into my writing, returning sporadically and requiring me to draw increasingly angry circles on the page to get it to come back. It just doesn't stop until it's ended and I've usually lost it long before then. At this price point, you cannot take that for granted. COMFORTABLE- There's a slight curve in the body of the pen that eases it into my hand without forcing me to write in an unnatural way. It is covered with a pleasant rubberish coat with perforations that prevents it feeling like you're writing with a tent peg and helps with grip. The metal is probably a bit more shabby and looks cheap, but that's fine by me. DOESN'T SMUDGE- At least not in my experience. The ink seems to dry very quickly, and the pen doesn't really leave think blobs of ink that might be more resistant to drying. I can be pretty confident that I won't find my writing on the other side of the page when I reopen my files or notepad. LOOKS NICE- The pen looks quite sleek really, which I like. But I was more meaning that it writes well. I don't have any particular eye for inks, but lines are the size they are supposed to be without variation and with no ink trails from where the pen is lifted. And it is black, which is as advertised. Enough said. INEXPENSIVE- I buy the packs of 12 at a time, and apparently I lose around one every four weeks. Fortunately, that means I have spent only about 16 quid a year on excellent pens. I should stop losing them, but I don't feel like such a mug. To me, these pens feel and write like a pen worth closer to a tenner each. Now that I've found these, I don't bother looking anywhere else. They have one downside for me- that they are just slightly too wide to fit into the pen loop of my notepad. My answer is to buy a different pen loop next time.

more affordable to buy this way than via officeworks 3-4 packs. FYI, my last pen from my original 6 of these JUST died after 3 YEARS of using only those (lasted through a whole certificate where i do most of my work on paper). i expect this 12 pack to last me 5yrs+ if my ADHD brain doesnt lose them before then. they dont smudge or leak, i write in all the novels i read and this has caused no issue. the ink is bold and doesnt skip. these are the IDEAL PEN for all uses. only problem is that they arrived in a flat carboard envelope, so the box theyre in was completely squashed and burst open. the pens werent broken, but i can see that being a potential risk for someone.
