Zebra Pen F-402 Stainless Steel Retractable Ballpoint Ink Pens 12-Pack, Blue Ink, 0.7mm Fine Point, Easy-Glide Ink, Non-Slip Grip, Metal Clip, Refillable With F-Refill (29220)

There is just something about these pens that no others compare for me. I'm pretty particular about my writing utensils and have tried many different pens through out the years. I keep coming back to these as my all time favorites.First, the weight of the pen is perfect. It's a nice weight, not too light, but not too heavy. I think the metal body with the black grip is sleek and comfortable. The pen itself feels higher-end and professional.The ink and the way it writes is also supreme. The ink dries fast and I have not experienced smearing as I am writing. The pen also writes very smoothly, even if I'm writing on a single piece of paper on a hard surface (you know how that can be). I use this pen to write in my bible and it does not bleed through or tear into the next page. Also, even if I have gone a few weeks without using it, the ink is still readily available and I don't find myself scribbling on pages to get it going again.Overall this is a superior pen.

Excellent quality, excellent price

Great grip, smooth 7.5 point pen

These pens are smooth writers, the grip and body of the pen make them comfortable to write with. Polished stainless steel looks great.

Great item. Great seller.

Love Zebra writing pens. I've remained a loyal user for over 20 years. This F-402 (IMHO) just falls a bit short. Always used the F-301 series. I feel it's the best pen going for the cost. I've really come to love the ALL METAL F-701. While obviously more expensive: the balance, weight, and writing point are A+ in every way. Unlike some other Zebra users; I've not experienced any issues with ink. Perhaps their skipping issue rests more with paper quality? This F-402 Pen, IMHO, seems to equal Zebra writing quality. Again; I just personally feel it falls short in other areas. I don't care for the smooth rubber grip. It really lightens the pen; throwing off the balance; ... as does the cheap, plastic ink insert instead of the normally present "all metal." Again IMHO, that "cheapens" it. I'd rather stay with the all metal F-701; or the metal & hard plastic "ribbed grip" F-301. Thanks for your time.

I use these at work all the time. They write well and are comfortable to hold. The weight is well distributed.

This pen is phenomenal! I like fine point ballpoints best of all pen types, and this is one of the best I've ever used. I especially like that it doesn't glide out of control on the paper like so many gel pens do. It has some resistance on the paper, which fits my writing style incredibly well. I'm amazed that this pen seems so durable, works really well and is as affordable as it is. I'd gladly pay 2 or 3 times as much for it. I haven't really found anything about it that I don't like. What I like:- The non-slip grip works well for my writing style, hand-size, etc. It's very "grippy" and makes it easy to keep the pen stable.- The ballpoint refill in this pen makes it one of the best ballpoints I've ever used, if not the best.- Seems like it will be very durable. It amazes me that it's considered a disposable pen.- It's retractable. I hate pens with a cap that invariably gets lost.Up to now, my favorite pen has been a Waterman that I bought for $100 in the mid-90s. I'm putting it back in its case because the Zebra F-402 is my new favorite pen.
