PILOT VBall Liquid Ink Rolling Ball Stick Pens, Extra Fine Point, Black Ink, 12-Pack (35200)

Ive always loved this model of pen but this box was inconsistant. It had a few pens that skipped enough to be annoying and hard to use.

As a writer, you rarely think youre going to rave about a particular product and then write a review about the dumb thing. But thats just what I am doing for the Pilot V-Ball, Extra Fine, UPC # 35200, Black pen. I have used one for over ten years and usually I cant find them in the stores and thus have to order them. Its OK and heres why. I am a consultant and keep a number of billable hours logs: Telephone incoming and outgoing time, client activities, and just jot-`em-down entries. What got on my nerves with other pens, was the resulting glob of ink if you held your pen too long in one spot; the uneven distribution of ink; the long drying time so that you wind up with an ink stain on your hand. I also write with my hand on the page and a glide stroke across it. Old habits die hard. You can hold this pen in one place as you ponder, its OK. The ink is as even on the beginning of the sentence as it is on the punctuation at the end. And the drying time is so fast a second after you write, the ink is dry. The most important aspect of this remarkable pen is the ability to lay the ink down in such a thin, tiny line that I get more compulsive-obsessive notes in the nooks and crannies of my logbooks. So there. An ode to a pen. If you like just a wonderful pen - this is it. Oh yes, for all you folks who still write longhand for the feel of it, and then the computer - this is still it.

Love the bold ink color and the micro size point permits legible writing in very small areas.

The pilot VBall is the pen I have been using since 2003 back when I started college, my hand/arm get tired when I write a lot, but with this pen it takes a lot of writing before the pain starts. I used to buy them overseas, too. As long as this pen is being produced, I will continue to buy it.

I am an office supply junkie. I love purple ink. This pen has a very fine point, glides smoothly across the page, and can easily press through 3-part NCR requisitions. I couldnt be happier! Thanks Pilot for a great pen!

Pens work as expected. No complaints. The color of ink is very pleasing

LOve these purple pens! they write so beautifully! they shipped fast and were very well packaged!

As advertised.

These are the only pen I EVER use. Design has changed throughout the years, but same great quality.

Ive been using this model for a while now and it is my favorite. The writing is always smooth and it has a conical tip so it wont get bent like the precise model sometimes will.
