Pilot G2 Premium Gel Roller Pens 0.7, Fine Point Smooth Writing Pens Black, Pack of 12

Folks, these Pilot G2 pens are very good. Very smooth. People tell me they are the best gel pens ever made. They write beautifully. Very fancy. Very elegant. A real pen for the elites. Now do I use them. No. Absolutely not. I use very powerful pens. Very strong pens. Thick black ink. The kind of ink that makes a STATEMENT. The kind of ink you can see from space. The kind of ink where people look at the signature and they say, Sir, that is the signature of a man who means business. But these pens. These little blue pens. They are very cute. Very nice. You can write notes. You can sign little things. You can pretend you are doing important work. They glide. They flow. They do not smear. They do not leak. Better than some people who leak. Not naming names. The grip is soft. Very comfortable. It feels like a tiny luxury item. A mini limo for your fingertips. If I needed to write something gentle, something quiet, something polite, maybe I would use this pen. Maybe. But probably not. I write big. I write strong. I write with FORCE. Still. Beautiful pen. The people love it. The best gel pen. Just not my style. I need a pen that scares people. Five stars. Would buy again for other people to use.

I know pens, okay. Pilot has always been several cuts above the usual broadly commercial competitors and they have never lowered their quality. Picture it: I throw-out more expensive pens in disgust because they have lost their lustre and, blessedly, I find a Pilot roller among the bunch or in a box shoved (foolishly) in a side-office’s desk drawer. The Pilot Pen—this specific brand—writes true, blue and brilliantly, for a month after the ink-line sinks beneath visibility. I’ll never use another everyday ink pen. When you are flustered or in a hurry and you grab a pen from the holder, and need that pen to work, Pilot Gel Roller smooths every frustration. Clean and reliable and, truly, they have provided sweet pen-relief so many times. Whether in business or quick note-taking from the local, late, incompetent folks running the infrastructures of our world, these pens rise to any occasion. (I hate pens that don’t work … basically those that I forget to toss-out, but still.)

Very smooth writing with enough ink to last for a while. In the last couple of years, I have come to greatly appreciate the writing efficacy and the cost-effectiveness of the Pilot G2 series. I used to be a big "S-kraft" fan, but in the fine point, I vastly prefer these G2 pens.

I keep a collection of these at my desk and work space. I love these pens and they are always my go to, they feel great in my hand which is a necessity because I am a sketch artist and journal in cursive on a daily basis. The 0.7 is the perfect fine point without being too thin or scratchy, and not to thick. The black is perfect, but I have also used Pilot G2's in red, purple, etc. The clip is always reliable and I've never had one break or crack even after being in my pocket, purse, or hanging off of multiple sketch pads of varying thickness. Depending on what kind of paper I am using they might smudge slightly if it is a glossy or card paper, but never anything catastrophic or unreadable. Bought another 12 pack after I used up the last one!

These are my hubby's favorite pens. They write great with no smearing and perfect for those of us with smaller handwriting.

GOOD PENS FOR THE PRICE. I would buy them again

The pen performs reliably even on surfaces where cheap pens fail. It even works on vertical surfaces if you angle it just slightly above horizontal. The blue color is ideal if you want to underline black text. The only challenge is that for low-absorption paper you may need to allow time for the ink to dry before you touch it. The 0.7 mm is an optimum size.

Our favorite pens. They don't smear or blot. Easy to hold if you are outside and have sweaty hands. Xerox well.
