The best pen, the best ink, the best feel
I have, for many years, searched for a pen I could use all day. No, really. I took paper and pen notes in college, and used mediocre pens. I took paper and pen notes in grad school, and used a reasonable pen (some inhouse type from Staples). One wonderful day (yes, I am dead serious, a wonderful day; keep reading) I got an offer from Uniball: free pen. I received a red Jetstream RT. I immediately began seeking out black ones.What I love about these pens: the solvent used to make the pen glide means VERY little pressure is needed as you write, so you can easily write a lot and for long periods of time without the soreness that comes from pressing down with a cheap pen all day. The grip itself is quite comfortable, and the pen is large enough that those with any size hand should be happy with it. The ink is remarkable. It shares a few things in common with permanent marker ink, so it will not wash out; these are great for signing checks for that reason, and of course if you spill something on what you've written there will be a little yellow bleeding, but the original marks will still be as clear as day. Additionally, the ink dries RIDICULOUSLY fast (that same great solvent) so even LEFTIES will be pleased. Finally, and among my favorite features, the ink does NOT bleed through the page while you're writing. If you're feeling particularly green, you can buy ink refills on Amazon and most office supply places for these pens.Unplanned feature: the pens will actually survive a clothes washing incident WITHOUT leaking all over your garments. The pen will likely be kaput, but to have no ink marks on clothing is a really great thing. This has happened twice.I literally took paper notes through the entirety of law school, and this was the pen I used for 90% of that time. They are often sold in 3 packs of a single color or the office combo (red, blue, and black). Look around on Amazon for the 12 packs of these pens if you fall in love the way I did.I came to find that for taking notes in law school (and again, I used these almost since day 1), I preferred the 1.0 mm Jetstream RTs. For exams (including a bar exam), I used the 0.7mm Jetstream RTs.I hope this helps someone. I really cannot oversell these pens or overstate how pleased I continue to be with them.Edit: Used a Jetstream RT to take the MA bar exam. Passed. Was as comfortable as I could be with such smooth-writing instruments all day long.

Good pens. Good price.
Arrived the next day. I needed a pen quickly and the seller took care of the problem! The pen writes well and feels good when holding it. The price is reasonable. I recommend the pens without hesitation.

This is the BEST pen in the world (especially for lefties) LOVE it.
I'm left handed, and I found this in a left handed store. It's not that it is only for lefties, but it has exceptional features -- that even lefties can rave about. We lefties push our pen rather than pull it along and so our hand goes right over what we've written, resulting in ink coming off the paper onto our hand. So get this: 1) it glides like a charm. The uniball dispenses the ink easily, evenly and smoothly. 2) the ink dries immediately, so no smudging onto the hand! 3) it's comfortable to hold and is padded for long use. I have given these pens as gifts to righties and they also love them. One friend says "it is the best pen I've ever used." Seems weird to be so enthusiastic about a simple item as a pen, but it's an essential tool, right? So nice that something so ordinary as a pen can be such a pleasure to use! I have many all over the house, it's the only pen I want to ever use. Finally, a well-designed, superb functioning pen that is reasonably priced!

Best ballpoint pen, hands down!
I’ve been in outside sales for 25 years, and this is my go to pen. Consistently writes with zero issues, lasts longer than most competitors and is extremely comfortable to hold. Comes in a variety of colors, dries quickly and doesn’t smudge.

Very Smooth
After reading the Wire Cutter review, I decided to buy a package of these and test them. The writing is indeed smooth, however the light weight(11 grams)and platicky feel of the pen detracts from the experience. I also bought a pushbutton Jetstream Prime pen weighing prhaps 20 to 25 grams for under $10. It came with a 0.7 refill though, which geels scratchy compared to the 1.0 thatcame with the RT. As for the price, at $1.75 a pen for the RT, the almost as good BIC Glide(Velocity) seems like a much better value at less than half the price. The Velocity is also very smooth and smudge resistant. In the past I have used mostly Parker, and Papermate Lubriglide pens, however I also own an authentic Mont Blanc ballpoint, and some Lamy ballpoint pens. The Lamy Logo at around $16 seems like a good value for a premium quality pen(I recently bought a second one). The Montblanc pens Imo aren't worth the price. I bought the Parker pens years ago when the pricing was much better.

Best value pen I've ever seen
Compared to "name brand" pens in the same or even higher price range (*arker, *haeffer, *ic, *ross, etc), these pens are far and away the best value; comfortable, smooth writing, non-smudge/quick dry, doesn't leave globs of ink, inexpensive (especially in 12-packs). Bonus, they look like a cheap plastic throwaway pen so you don't have to worry about someone picking it up and misappropriating it - unless you make the mistake of letting them use it for an extended period of time.The ONLY reason for the 4-star review, instead of a 5-star, is that a couple pins in every box of 12 are prone to having the small piece of plastic attached to the pocket clip, separating from the pen's main body. It just clicks right back in place and if it happens repeatedly, a drop of Super Glue permanently fixes the problem in 30 sec. NOTE: This may, in some small part, be due to the rough usage to which I subject the pen (i.e., marking lumber and rough cardboard, forcing the clip over work shirt, even jean, pockets, pushing hard to ensure marking through pages of multi-copy carbonless forms, etc.); yep, I'm hard on equipment.Bottom line, I will never buy another pen as long as these are available!

These Pens are everything Wirecutter says they are.
Smooth writing, even flow of ink, highly recommended.
