uni-ball Jetstream RT Retractable Roller Ball Pen, Blue Ink, Fine, 0.70 mm

NYT Wirecutter rated it high. For good reason. It is well made and looks good. Oh, by the way, it writes very well. Amazon’s price is reasonable.

I don't know why so many people reported in the past that they didn't receive the full amount; I just wanted to confirm that I had no issues with my order (April 2021). I received a full box of 12 Uni-ball Jetstream RT 0.7 pens. And yes, needless to say, these are the best pens. You should read the full review by the NYT Wirecutter (Google it), they explain in detail their methodology and how/why they concluded that this is indeed the best pen. Quote from that article: "Its pigment-darkened ballpoint ink flows out smoothly and evenly, without skipping and with minimal pressure. The ink sinks into paper and dries quickly (which is great for lefties)".

Pens write very well. Ink doesn't last nearly as long as one would expect. If your using them in a dirty environment the clicker will get jammed and stick. Impossible to clean out once that happens

These pens write impeccably. No streaks. Dries instantly (its a dry sort of gel, I think.) No blobs. No sudden disappearance of ink. The nib floats over the page, it doesn't drag. They don't last as long as I'd like them to, but I've never found a better ball point pen, and I've tried hundreds because the clarity and aesthetic appeal of my handwriting means a lot to me. You're judged by your handwriting, so use a pen that helps you to express yourself! I'm afraid they'll disappear, so I have lots in reserve. They don't seem to dry out! Yay!

Best (affordable) pen I've used in a while. Every time someone borrows it, they have the same reaction: what a great pen! I got them for my family as stocking stuffers and heard from everyone that it was the smoothest pen and they loved it. Great for every day use, not expensive, smooth as a dream. I think I found this pen via Wirecutter.
