Pilot G2 Retractable Gel Pens, black, 10 Stifte

Great value for Money, the pens write amazingly and don’t have any critiques.

The Pilot G2 pen has been around for a long time, and I've been using them for at least the last 20 years! Throughout that time they have been the best roller ball available, in my view, and great value for money too.Although listed as gel pens the ink is more fluid than most, but it flows a lot better as a result, and feels more like a fountain pen than a biro in use. Be prepared not to touch your writing for a couple of seconds, or it may smudge. Unlike a biro you don't need to apply pressure to the tip, and that makes your writing more elegant and places less strain you your wrist. Your best writing experience is always with a nib pen, using traditional ink - it gives you a flow and lightness like nothing else. The closest I've come to that is with these G2's, and I find them very enjoyable and rewarding to use when the full fountain pen experience is not practical.These days there are lots of colour inks to choose from but I recommend you stick to the stronger solids like black, red, blue, green. The inks are light-fast too, unlike a biro. The pastel shades and the white in particular will not show up so well on paper. Remember that these are inks, so the white will not stand out well on black or dark card. If that's what you want you need a paint pen instead. A lot of the negative reviews here are due to this misunderstanding rather than the pen itself.Finally, and to the credit of Pilot, the barrel of these pens unscrews, allowing you to fit a refill. That's an excellent feature and helps prevent the waste of chucking out an entire pen when only the ink has run out. The less plastic pollution can be achieved the better, and Pilot are to be applauded here.These are excellent pens, and I long ago threw out my old ball-points in favour of them. Highly recommended!

These are great pens, I've bought them 4 times!Only disappointment with the most recent order is that although the item description says 'Box of 12' unlike my previous orders, they're not in a box and instead just 12 loose pens in an envelope. It's just a minor inconvenience but, I did expect the box to keep them stored. Doesn't change the fact the pens are very good just frustrated at the item description and missing box!

These are good, reliable & fast drying.

Okay, I admit it, I am absolutely obsessed with these pens. I have tried and tested many gel pens, but for me the Pilot G207 is head and shoulders above the rest. They write so smooth and have such an easy grip. Maybe not 100% bleedproof if you highlight over them - leave them dry first for the best results, however, this could also be down to the highlighters.My only frustration is that it is cheaper to buy an entire pack like this than the refils; I'm hoping at some point Pilot will rectify this.Apart from that for me these are the best.

These pens perform well, dont leak or blob ,last for ages and give the look of ink without the faff.I have previously bought these for myself but husband was always borrowing so bought these for him .

I am a great fan of these pens and this is the third time that I have bought some. They are very easy to write with. The sleeve above the point make them easy and comfortable to hold. Highly recommended.
