BICEcolutions Clic Stic Black Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm), 12-Count Pack, Retractable Ball Point Pens Made from 78% Recycled Plastic

These are my favorite basic pens! Blue stands out on paper better than black. The pen quality is good- they last for about 5 years before the ink starts to thicken and make it harder to write. Ink flow is perfect, other than in extreme cold- in that case you have to warm the tip up on your hand first (like most pens).

These pens are perfect for my pen-grabbing volunteers at our food pantry. There are enough of them so that we don't have to go hunting for pens for sign-ins, etc. They rite clearly and last long too.

Pens write well. Good value.

Ideal simple ballpoint pen, with no features added that are not central to the purpose of being a pen.This pen is what the Skilcraft US Government pen SHOULD be.I order them by the dozen for use in my hospital job; if I need a contagious patient to sign a document, I give them this pen, and then discard it or let them keep it afterward rather than contaminating the pen I use for my own work.

Love this brand. Always flows well and doesn’t smear. I work in healthcare so the color black works great for my job. Easy to hold and use and perfect size.

For those that like to take notes there are good and last for a long time, and my hubby love them since he has lots of notes to take. ink does not run or over clogs the end of the pen. so far no complains i mean it hard to complain about a pen but there is always an exception.

Let me start by saying that these are inexpensive and they do write -- but they feel cheap, even for Bic. My biggest complaint is that the ink coverage isn't all that great or the quality of the ink isn't the best, at least the package I purchased. All of them seem to write light, which might be great in some situations. However, on thermal paper, and even standard light uncoated paper I find the coverage lackluster and the legibility leaves something to be desired.

I prefer retractable pens, and I like the idea of recycled plastics. So, this was perfect for me and the price was good. It is the consistency of Bic pens that I most admire. They just work all the time when I need them to.
