Paper Mate Ballpoint Pens, Write Bros. Blue Ink Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm), 60 Count

Always loved Papermate - these are great

There are two main things I didn't like about these pens. One, this was my third purchase of something I supposedly had purchased twice before. Only this third purchase was very different from the first two?! How can the seller claim I am buying the same pen when the barrel and the ink are different?? At that point the seller should say, "We have discontinued the pens you were buying, but you might want to try our new cheap little pens instead." The first two orders had regular ink in a hard plastic barrel. The newest order was a gel ink in softer cheaper barrel.Secondly, many of the pens do not work at all. Some work well for a short time, but then run out of ink quickly, or the ink comes out too fast and gets blobby. The barrels are so soft and cheap that sometimes the cap will not stay in place after a few uses. The old Papermate pens were inexpensive, but a joy to use and not cheap. The new Papermate pens are frustrating and annoying because they are cheap cheap cheap.

love it price is awesome

First of all, let me stress how honored I am that the folks at Amazon (Amazon!) asked me to review my recent order of these exceptional PaperMate stick pens. I know how busy they must be with all their corporate meetings and the daily grind (wait for the pun...) of drinking coffee beans from pampered elephant poop. Anyway, receiving these pens was probably the greatest thing to happen to me - the event of a lifetime, nay of a geologic age. They must have been inspired and reverse engineered by nothing less than the Roswell crash/retrieval, containing, as they do, a modular cap that can be taken off when in the writing mode, and reinserted once done. About the ink: it sticks to the paper as if by some alchemical means beyond the comprehension of mere mortals.. And low and behold, abracadabra... the blue flow of my humble jottings remained in all its uncanny boldness they next time I laid eyes on it. Most amazing of all is the way the pens arrived... appearing on my doorstep as if by magic! Uncanny! Truthfully, I could go on infinitely in extolling the virtue of these writing devices (were it not for the poverty of the human language), bur for now let me just say - rather breathlessly - get them before the secret gets out! - BMB

Writes very smooth

I bought the blue pens because I had used the black pens and they worked smoothly. Unfortunately, the blue pens I received skip and do not write smoothly. The black pens work well.The caps on the black pens do come off when the pen is being used. The blue caps fit slightly more tightly, so they stay on. Since I will not be using the blue pens, I'll use the blue caps with the black pens.These pens are fairly comfortable, but you may want a better grip if you write a lot.Maybe it was the boxes I received, but the quality of the black versus the blue pens I received was very different. 4 stars black, 2 stars blue

These are JUNK! I have ordered them 3 times. The first time they were great. I reordered them and the second box of 60 were all out of ink. I thought it must have been a fluke since I liked the first order so well so I ordered a 3rd time and that box of 60 also had no ink in them. I will not purchase again.

I bought these specifically for legal documents and while they’re passable, the quality is lacking. The ink flow isn’t constant nor is it full (what I mean by that is the lines vary in thickness with some parts so thin it almost looks like there’s not enough ink). I thought it would only be like this when the pen is first used; however, it seems to be a consistent feature. If you only need a blue pen to doodle for fun or take personal notes then these will work fine, but if you plan to use them for any official documentation, I wouldn’t recommend them for that.
