I am old enough to remember when ballpoint pens were a novelty. They have long since become ubiquitous. So much so that there are good ones, mediocre ones, and terrible ones. Those that don't write right away, skip, or end up dry on brief storage seem to be the norm, crowding all the while the vast majority of mediocre ballpoints. The Pilot G2 Retractable Roller Ball Gel Pens on the other hand are a joy compared to your average run of the mill pen. They feature an ergonomic grip, which results in a good feel in the hand and contributes to the fine control of the writing tip. But the real feature that puts this pen above the masses of so-so pens is that they have a smooth ball and instant ink flow for uniform, fine lines even if the pens have been in storage. All of this means that I seek out these pens and accept no substitutes, even if I have to pay a wee bit more for I use one of them multiple time per day. Unless dropped with the point exposed (a no-no for any ballpoint), these pens are the best.

These are my go to pens for work. I’m a nurse and use these for written charts. They write really well, with consistency and no skips. I buy a large pack every year and love them,

Nice gel pens. Pens are comfortable, the ink flows very smooth, and the mechanics of the pen works very well. I would not hesitate recommending this item.

Great pens. Lasts forever!

Smooth writing, ink is a little bold but the shape makes them easy to grip. Good quality.

Where I used to work,most of the guys wanted to ordered them several times a month. They a Great.

The last batch we bought became dry and wrote "scratchy" although kept in a Ziploc bag and stored inside a desk drawer. Hope this purchase lasts longer

In a recent flyer i saw that the Pilot G2 were on sale so i purched the blue pack. I didn't realize until i got home that i was charged regular price so wadteing time and money i went back to Sam's and returned the pens. I then went and checked the sign once again. Well the pens WERE on sale $3 less so i went and repurchased them and got the sale price. I'm not sure WHY first time it charged regular price.

These are my favorite pens, and I have been writing with them for years. But this is the first time that I have purchased them from Sam's, and I will never purchase them again from Sam's. I have been writing with them for years and never have I had a problem with them. But every pen that I have taken out to use has been leaking starting the first or second day of removing from the package.

Packaging is super bulky for only a few pens
