Pilot FriXion Clicker Erasable, Refillable & Retractable Gel Ink Pens, Fine Point, Assorted Color Inks, 7 Count (Pack of 1) (31472)

Product Information

I am listing out what I think from my own personal experience are the best everyday carry pens you can buy right now.

In our tests, the EnerGel RTX wrote smoothly—never skipping or smudging—and its needle-point tip was as precise as that of the Pilot Precise V5 RT. Available ink colors include options we haven’t seen often with other pens, including gray. Smudging is when the ink smears and the letters you write blur. It’s particularly noticeable if you write left-handed or try to highlight something you just wrote. (Slow-drying inks that typically smudge can even transfer to other paper.) If you tend to lose pen caps or worry about the cap falling off and the ink ruining your bag, opt for a retractable pen like the Schneider Pulse Pro Ballpoint Pen. Highly lauded by pen aficionados, these pens are easy to write with, thanks to a stainless steel, medium point tip. Better yet, the rubberized surface of the barrel feels nice on your hands, making long note-writing sessions strain-free. A pen’s aesthetics can contribute to the overall writing experience. And this was confirmed in our testing: Several of our testers preferred the Uni-ball Signo RT1 to the Pentel EnerGel RTX due to the Signo RT1’s understated (albeit all-plastic) design.Uni-Ball has been one of the leading names in gel and rollerball pens for decades, and they’re known for making pens that are smooth, consistent, and comfortable to write with. When it comes to EDC, there are pros and cons to a Uni-Ball, but there’s no denying that they’re great for everyday writing. Disposable Ballpoint Pen History: Pens for Pennies". Tedium: The Dull Side of the Internet. Archived from the original on 2020-09-19 . Retrieved 2020-04-24. The Center of Gravity is also just a great pen in general. Its hybrid ink combines the long-lasting elements of a ballpoint pen with the dark, vibrant lines of a gel pen. FriXion gel pens include pens with 0.38, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 mm tips. Most of the pens are refillable, and refills are offered in different tip sizes. You can try different ones without having to buy a new pen. As with most pens, the larger the tip size, the more smoothly it writes. Pilot FriXion Gel Pens

Keep in mind that while the cap of the pen has a clip, it isn’t ideal for attaching to a notebook. Still, the pens are slim enough for storing a handful in your workbag or pencil case. Even if you write with a heavy hand and create indents on the paper, FriXion ink will disappear so long as heat is able to reach it. The “erased” sections can be written over and “erased” as many times as needed. The Jetstream Slim Multi-Color has a rubber grip, so it’s pleasant to hold. And this pen comes with the same refillable smooth ink found in other Jetstream pens. If you like to color-code your notes or journal entries, the Uni Jetstream Slim Multi-Color is a thin, handy alternative to having several pens cluttering your desk or bag. For those with an eco-friendly mindset, refillable pens are ideal as they’re less wasteful than disposable ones. In addition to being refillable, Pilot's The Better Ballpoint Pen is also retractable. There’s no cap and, as such, less plastic is used in the manufacturing process.

A Japanese company that has been making pens and art supplies since 1913, Tombow isn’t as well known in the U.S. as some of the other brands on this list. But their Airpress pens have made an impression in EDC circles recently, and they have some interesting features that work in their favor. With so many office supplies designed for right-handed people, the Uni-Ball Jetstream is a perfect alternative for lefties, though righties will find it equally comfortable to write with.Gel pens are best for writing precisely, and they come in a rainbow of ink colors. A subset of rollerballs, gel pens write smoothly but typically with thinner lines. Fineliners’ needlepoint tips make them a great choice for detailed sketches and crisp writing, with some friction against paper.

In our tests, the Signo RT1’s performance was nearly identical to that of the EnerGel and the Precise V5 RT (with just a bit of smudging when we forced it). The main difference between these pens is how they look, plus their available colors and tip sizes.I won’t go on and on today about why you should always carry a pen. I’ve already done that. But I will say that if you don’t carry a pen, your EDC is incomplete.
