PilotV5 Liquid Ink Rollerball 0.5 mm Tip - Blue, Pack of 3

These are my favourite pens and I was delighted when I discovered that I could get them in other colours rather than my normal blue. They last for absolutely ages, keep a nice sharp writing point and are really effortless to write with. Will definitely order these again. Great price too.

PERFECT PILOT FOR NIFTY NARRATIVEThese Pilot V5 Liquid Ink Rollerball 0.5mm tip pens are my favourite. This is the third box that I have bought through Amazon. Either I am loosing a lot of pens or others are stealing them because they are so good.I used to buy the small pack or individual ones in stationary shops. I often found myself running out of a pen just when I had lots of writing to do, so a larger box with a dozen is ideal. They always seem to be on offer, so working out just over £1 per pen compared to over £2 in some stores.HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER PENSIn my work, I write much of the time. So I have tried many different pens from your 10 pence Bic to expensive fountain pens. At times, I am writing neatly, other times writing without looking at the page. Having a reliable pen that flows easily and smoothly is therefore important to me. With cheaper pens, I find the drag makes it difficult to take quick notes and tires after long periods of writing. When writing for clarity, the precision of the ink flow is excellent even for smaller writing. Versatility is core to this pen.There are other colours, but I stick to black. The other colours have the same precision and smooth ink flow. There are thicker versions, but I prefer the 0.5mm. The 0.7mm looks a bit like a fountain pen. This is good when writing larger, but more likely to smudge.There are other makers of roller ball pens - I don't find them as smooth, consistent or competitively priced.POCKET SAFETYI found an issue with pens including expensive fountain pens is the mess. Sometimes it can be smudging on the page onto hands. The worst thing is to have new clothes - suit, shit or trousers, where ever you keep your pen handy. Then it leaks! I have never found this with the pilot 0.5mm.If I could buy shares I would.  Pilot V5 Liquid Ink Rollerball 0.5 mm Tip - Black, Box of 12Pilot V5 Liquid Ink Rollerball 0.5 mm Tip - Black, Box of 12

This is the second pack of these pens I have bought. I only use the black and I use them every day. I like writing with them and they are easy to fold and I have found them to be the best for an even and clear print. They have caps that fit down securely so they will not fall off. These are idea for anyone who writes a lot but they are also handy for using in crafts as well. The tip is fine and I find them useful in card making.

I adore these pens!The colours are vivid, the ink flows out at just the right rate and the ink never blots through the pages. I'm also left-handed and find that I end up smudging ink with many pens but the ink from these pens dries so fast that it has never been a problem.As a teacher, I find that these pens allow my comments on pupil work to stand out from their own writing in darker blue/black ink.The little window allows you see how much ink is left so that you can order a new set in perfect time!A five-star product that I will be ordering again!

Initially I bought a packet of about six in black, then in blue and now this lot. They write very well, are nice to hold, the ink disposition is consistent and not too much or too scratchy. I don't think I'll be using another brand for note-taking.
