BIC BU3 Grip Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point (1.0mm), Black, Retractable Black Ballpoint Pens for School and Office, 18-Count

This has been my favorite writing pen of all time for about ten years! **If you’re a gel pen lover you may not like these.** These were designed for people like me that like to press the pen into paper without overspill! I also hate gel pens because they take forever to dry and the ink smears onto my hand and my paper and they get clogged constantly! These are super comfy to hold for taking notes during those three hour lectures and they don’t run out of ink for what feels like forever! I keep a few in my office, kitchen, handbags and even my car. They don’t break, burst or leak, EVER! I can no longer find them in stores and I have to say, it took a while to find this listing here on Amazon! I couldn’t believe the price for $18! A steal! I highly recommend if you like a good fine tip pens that write as smooth as a pencil and don’t bleed into paper like gel ink pens!

The pens are smooth and decent. They aren't smeary nor does the ink flow very badly, always great.

Great design for small or large hands. Easy to hold. Writes smooth and last a long time. Great price for how many pens you get in one pack.

Nice pens, comfortable and ink is a perfect flow.

The biggest complaint is that it does not write until after you scribble on a scrape piece of paper. The pen is comfortable and easy to write with once the ink starts flowing.

These pens are great. They write smooth, and have a comfortably grip. These are the only pens that I ever buy. I'm glad that I turned to amazon to start buying the, because I find that they are cheaper for this size box. Since I lose at least two pens a day, it's important for me to not spend a fortune to replace them.

fast delivery-as described-and delivery driver was great.

Great writing pens and very comfortable on the hand/fingers. Couldn't find in store so ordered here.

Buenas plumas, a mi parecer le falta un poco de ligereza al escribir, pero es de cada quien, ergonómica y practico boton retráctil

Made in India they are like the regular pen you push it open but can't click it back to close it you have to click the side click, which is nkind of annoying

No le di las 5 estrellas por que el agarre de la goma esta muy resbaladizo. Ya había escrito con esta pluma y por eso la compré por qué no se resbalaba a la hora de escribir. Pero este paquete se resbala. Es muy diferente el material

I hand surgery on my index finger. These pens are the perfect size. And the write great.

I love these pens, they're comfortable to write with, they write smoothly and have a very good grip. Except for this year's batch! This year's batch the grip area is very slippery compared to previous years! The picture of 2 pens is from the batch I bought in 2022. The 4 pens is the new batch I bought in 2024. The grip is very shiny and slips in my fingers when I try to write. Forget trying to write quickly. It's annoying. I was coming here to oder a different batch thinking it was only my box. But I've seen other reviews of the same thing. Did they change the way they make the grip? If so, I'll have to find a different pen. Or was it a bad batch they decided to roll out anyway to avoid loss? I'll try my local bureau en gros/staples, if it's the same issue guess I'll have to find a different pen. I'm really disappointed. For now, since I just opened the box, I'm swapping out the ink into my old pens so I can have better grip, but going through 36 pens in this way isn't feasible. Anyhoo, 2 stars lost due to batch with crappy grip!
