smttw 4 Pack 0.5mm 6-in-1 Multicolor Ballpoint Pen - Best for Smooth Writing-Retractable Ballpoint Pens for Office School Supplies Students Children Unique Gifts

Purchased to use as “Halloween Treat” for medical staff. Just a cute little something that everyone liked. The pens are more of a gag gift but they really do work. Value was good.

I was excited to receive these pens for a couple different reasons. First, I'm a 90's kid and this is a real blast from the past. Secondly, I can be obnoxiously organized and love to colour code things. Having numerous built in colours in one pen that fit in the spiral binding of my new planner sounded perfect! However, the pen itself is not made of the highest quality materials nor is it particular sturdy. One pen broke upon the first day to the point that it was no longer able to write as the pen tip kept retracting inside. The second pen broke about two weeks later, this time the pen was still functional but the tab to clip the pen to things was broken. The ink for certain colours, black surprisingly, sometimes cut out while writing. The colours themselves are noticeably different from one another. I am still using the pen and have a couple left over which I will also use until they run out or break, which ever comes first.

The pens don’t work consistently. I tried to take color coded notes and kept getting hung up on re-writing letters because the ink didn’t come out. I hoped it was because they were new so I kept at it but it hasn’t gotten better. Very frustrating to use.UPDATE:company sent me new pens to try again. These were better than the first. All the colors work decently expect for orange. On all four pens the orange doesn’t work. And the others work... not super smooth like a more quality ball point pen, but for sure useable. I’ll add a couple of stars.

I love to collect multi color ink pens. These pens will feel thick in your hands. Lots of colors to choose from. Made with German ink. Maybe this ink will last longer.

I absolutely love having 6 colors in one! Makes note taking easy without having to switch pen. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. The only negative is that one of the pen formed a crack towards the front after I used it twice! I’m hoping the others will hold up because I actually like this pen!

The pens are hard to use you have to hold them at a specific angle for the ink to transfer to the paper. Some of the colors you can hardly see them on paper. I would not recommend them.

The media could not be loaded.  I like how the pack came with 4 different multi-colored pens. If one pen runs out of ink, then you have some spare ones available to use. I always found it hard to buy a set of these pens. Usually, I’m only able to find individual ones. Some colors were harder to push down than others, especially the black. I guess it’s because I was handling my phone with one hand and the pen in the other while I was recording the demonstration video. As long as you keep a firm grip on the pen (with one hand holding the pen and the other hand pushing down on the colors), then you should be fine. I tested out all the colors, and they all worked.

When I get newpen I tend to try all if its work! This pens some of their orange have hard time come out. 2 of mine oranges totally do not work that was sad. but over all its work really well! I can do finer work than other company's products!!
