Hi,

 

I saw this capless rollerball pen. It looked neat, so I got one.

 

First, a few pictures:

 

The pen in all its glory:

The pen with an empty refill. One sees the widely spaced fins in the refill. These are little compartments that hold the ink. The compartments empty starting with the one closest to the tip.

Next, for the review. It's rambly. I did my best to use up the pen.

Please, please, don't buy this pen. It's torture in a stick. Don't hurt yourself. This is why fountain pens exist. Even a BIC is better than this expensive piece of plastic. Remember, your pen on Montblanc cartridges is cheaper to use than this and a lot nicer to write with.

Wow, that was like the War and Peace of rollerball pen reviews. :clap1: Too bad it was all for a pen you didn't like.

 

I got a pack of these a few years ago because I really liked how the barrels felt, but they never wrote well. Very inconsistent. I still see them regularly at Staples, etc., so someone must like them.

Hi,

 

I agree that the barrel of the pen is comfortable to hold and it looks cool, but it is quite inconsistent as you have found. Such a pen. Ouch!

Now that was a long review of a pen that you did not even like. Wow !
