Pilot G - Tec C4 Gel Microtip Rollerball - Red, 0.4 mm (Box of 12)

Love these and enjoy using them, so nothing to complain about from me. They do what they are meant to be for.

+ smooth writing+ pure black colour+ rather quick drying+ super fine lineDelivered in original package well protected.Disadvantages:- The body could be a bit more thick to be completely fulfilling the comfort of writing.- writes under certain angle

I bought one of these years ago and it has lasted ages so took the plunge and bought a multipack. The pens themselves seem fine, they all work and have no bent nibs or anything. However it was a shame that they did not come in original packaging as shown in the photos. They were just rattling about in a clear plastic box which make me slightly suspicious that they could be knock offs. We will have to wait and see if they carry on working ok and last as long as my original one has.

I've always been very fussy about pens but can say without reservation that the G-Tec C4 is the best for these reasons:- They have a very fine nib - great if you have quite small writing or need precision.- I like the way they have just the right amount of friction on the page. Most rollerballs I find to be too fluid and take away the sensation of writing.- The ink is jet black and has no sign of washing out over time. It doesn't seep 'through' the page either so the back of the page is still nice and clear.- The ink doesn't spread on the page - so no unsightly blobs if you leave the pen resting on the page for a moment too long.- They last absolutely ages which is always a good thing, and I've never had one leak on me yet!- The barrel is relatively slim in comparison to other pens out there. I like this but that'll be your personal preference.- The top is secure and won't come off accidentally.- If there is any negative (and I'm clutching to find one) is that if you push down too hard (read: very hard) on the nib it can bend. It's only happened once to me though and that was when I lent it to my 3 year old. Mmmm....So, in conclusion, a fantastic pen and a good price on Amazon.You may also be interested to know that I also very highly rate the Mitsubishi Jetstream SX-210. Thicker line and barrel than the C4 but my second favourite pen out there (and I've tried hundreds!).

These Pens are the only pens I use, long lasting, reliable, fine and smooth to write with from beginning to end and they are also comfortable in the paw. The pen can be a bit difficult to get started when you use it for the first time but all is fine after it gets going.Be careful not to accidentally knock the tip which easily bends rather irrevocably and they don't usually straighten out or work after that. Curses ring throughout the Dormouse nest if that happens when there is a lot of life left in the pen.You need a fairly light touch especially if you hold them at less than about 50 degrees to the paper, I find. I try never to lend this pen out if I can help it, unless I know the user doesn't press hard. I have a jar of boring ballpoints for those who tend to write heavily. These pens last ages, but I buy them in bulk as I like a pen in each of the many places I sit in our nest, one in most of my coat pockets and of course at least two in my trusty and voluminous handbag.On extremely rare occasions you can find yourself with a scratchy pen where the ink doesn't flow smoothly from beginning to end, I don't know why, it has only happened about twice in many years.

I have used these for a very long time and love them but the last 3 i bought have been terrible. they are inconsistent and keep stop writing and then when they do its blotchy. Sad to see standard has dropped and hoping its only one batch.

It’s a decent pen, I was looking for thin pens for annotations because in english I’m doing blood brothers and the book is absolutely tiny to do annotations in. This pen is perfect for this sort of stuff, it’s not worth the price but I would encourage to buy. But they are nearly out of stock and I really need a 3 pack of red and green pens too.

Have used for several years and continue to use them because they're easy to hold and write easily.
