Helix Oxford Colour Gel Pens (x10 Pack Assorted Colours) with Plastic Free Packaging, 10 Count (Pack of 1)

Perfect and so smooth !

Totally cool pens

Write smoothly and beautifully.

The Helix Oxford Colour Gel set came well packaged with no unnecessary plastic in the packaging. The tips are very fine. The ink flow is good. Several of the pens have a scratchy feel when writing. This makes a noise and becomes off putting. They are super light weight at around 6 grams each. Nice sturdy click top. No worries about losing the top. The colours do seem fainter than the pen body. Nice array of colours. Not all the pens appeared to be straight and the nib on one pen bent very quickly under normal writing. Overall a pretty average gel pen set. They are still good value for money, as they are pretty inexpensive. I have had better and I have had worse. It is doubtful I woudl buy this set again.

Had them for a while now so I had a chance to give them a good use before reviewing.They all perform well (I have been using all 4 colours). They are very good for tracing patterns as you don't want to be using unreliable pens.Yes you can get cheaper Chinese ones, but if we as a nation want Britain to thrive after Brexit, we should all support good quality British products wherever possible.

I love the colour of the pen outer itself, sadly the colour of the gel ink does not match the outer. But at least they’re not all black! The bright pink pen writes with deepish purple ink. The black pen is sepia reddish brown. I would classify this as a set of standard colours, black, blue and red, with a few extra colours thrown in. Useful if you need to make a key for a chart say, not really for creative purposes. I would’ve been disappointed if I had paid more than £3 as they weren’t really what I was after. Still, pens are always useful!

As a way of keeping occupied I have started making my own greetings cards, and wanted something a bit more adult than crayons for fancy writing and decoration. I tried them out and found them easy to hold, resulting in neater handwriting. A nice tip on the pen -not messy on the paperI really like the colours too, and think they will stand out on the coloured cards. I thought they were good value for money. The only thing I can not really comment on is the longevity because I have only just received them, but I really dont anticipate any problems.

I just wanted gel pens; not metallic, not glitter, not neon, just plain colours and these are great. What sold me on this pack was that it has brown... so many pen sets leave out brown, and for doing trees, twigs, branches brown is essential! I'm so happy with these and I'm going to buy more right now.
