Pilot FriXion Ball Clicker Erasable Gel Pen – 0.5mm Extra Fine, Black Ink, White Barrel, 6-Pack

This pen has been a game-changer during my nursing day. I can easily correct documentation mistakes as well as make changes when circumstances change with my patients. It erases cleanly without damaging paper. I know that a pencil does the same, but I don't have to also carry around a pen to sign documents.

About 2 years ago I saw these pens at an office supply store, so I bought them and ended up being obsessed with them, but could never find them again! My brain finally started working and I remembered I could buy stuff on Amazon, and was so happy when I found them again. I literally cannot say enough positive things about these pens. They are smooth and fast drying like you would not BELIEVE. Obviously my favorite part is the fact that they are, in fact, fully erasable. Some pens are labeled as erasable and it’s really not true, or it leaves smudges or traces, but these are really erasable. They are not magic, so the pressure of the tip leaves a slight mark on the paper, but the INK is definitely fully erasable, and you can mark and erase the same spot multiple times and still have a fresh space. The grip is standard to a normal pen so it’s not going to change your life, but the pen itself will!!

Okay, so this brand frixion, changed my world for the better, and I don’t just mean this 0.5mm white frixion pen, I mean their entire line. I am a perfectionist, and prior to frixion, if I made an error, it meant white out. So I carried white out everywhere. That also meant that if I made an error on colored paper, it got tossed and I had to start over. Yes, I’m extra, so shoot me. Now, I just refuse to use any other pen or highlighter, unless it’s like testing to see printing margins on my laser printer because these use thermal sensitive ink so it just erases the ink, which also means, don’t set a warm coffee cup on your meeting notes. (They’ll be gone) but this is truly the only negative. Here’s what’s wonderful; these erase so darn clean on most paper. They make a variety of colors, thicknesses, styles, and even make markers and highlighters. Making an error on colored paper, no big shakes, it’s fixed. No more buying white out. None of that. I don’t pack my kids with pencils anymore, because these erase cleaner than any pencil I have ever owned. So I’ve made it my mission to convert everyone I know. So far I have gotten every student I have, hooked on them. The large majority hate other pens now. The company my mom works for has completely eliminated other pens. (They do a lot of handwritten mail, and that meant white out or scraping envelopes if an error occurred so this saves them money long term.) Most of my fellow instructors love them, and if it’s not this style, they love the felt tips or highlighters. I have converted staff members at the hospital I worked at for years, and not just one or two… most of them, because they are that awesome. Buy them

I love these pens and have also ordered the different colored ones. I also ordered the refills for them. They write smooth, erase without smearing or marking the paper. These are definitely my go to pens when I don't need a permanent ink!

Want to have all the sharpness and convenience of a pen, but all the flexibility of a pencil? Don’t hold your breath. However, if you want a good compromise that isn’t as good as either option, but still decent, this is your pen. Pros: quite clear ink, nice design, erasable pen. Cons: ink randomly disappears, leaving you wondering what you wrote. Ink is used way to fast so you have to get replacements, but the eraser doesn’t last more than three refills usually.
