Paper Mate 85585 Flexgrip Elite Stick Ballpoint Pen, Fine Point, Blue, 12-Pack

Poor quality. Never go for it

I love these ball-point pens! They write terrific and last forever. I typically prefer ink pens but these are a good standby to add to my purse or travel bag in case I need a writing instrument. (For example, it's OK to leave behind accidentally and you don't feel like you left your first-born-son, as you might with a high quality ink pen!) I go through a lot of pens and this is one of the few in the ball point variety that lasts.Other bonuses: comfortable feel when using, and doesn't leak.

These pens have a 1.0 point and the Papermate Box even says medium point I didn't catch it when I ordered them that it says further down in the write up on Amazon that it does say medium point. I didn't know what was considered a fine point but the pen I am using at home has a 1.6 point so I believed a 1.0 was a fine point.

I used this pen at a pharmacy and loved it. I mentioned this to the assistant and she told me to go aheadand take it - they had lots. I did and have totally loved it. It just fit me perfectly. Was so glad when I could get ahold of a box of them on Amazon.

A pen that actually writes? Amazing. Maybe I am onliest one who suffers under this nonsense, but it seems like every time I go to office supply store and buy a dozen pens - none of them perform well. I have tried several brands. I came across one of this brand that had been in a drawer for years and it still wrote, so I bought a box of the closest model they still make and they all work perfectly. Crazy talk!

I ordered two boxes of FlexGrip Elite M. It took almost two weeks to receive my order, and when I finally got it, both of the boxes were crushed, although the pens appear to be OK. My biggest complaint is that the pens I received do not look like the pens in the ad, and they do not look like the favorite pen I own that I was trying to order, that says "FlexGrip Elite M" on the side of it. The ones I received have a removable cap and it's silver, not black, like it is in the picture on the page from which I ordered it. Also, the pens I already own have a button on the top that I click to make the pen point come out of the casing, and the ones I received do not.
