uniball Jetstream Ballpoint Pen, Fine Point (0.7mm), Blue

This review is for the blue ink, capped version, of the .7mm Uni Jetstream. I used to use this pen in college 20 years ago and I loved it desperately, then it became harder to find. I recently thought of it and found it here on Amazon. I bought a set, expecting it to disappoint my memories, but if anything, it's even better than I remember. The ink is so smooth. I barely have to touch the page to get a clean line. The weight and balance of the pen while the cap is posted is perfect for the size of my hand. The ink is a very dark blue that looks beautiful on the page. I wish I could give this product MORE than 5 stars as it so fully exceeds my expectations that I feel like a perfect score doesn't do it justice.

This is my favorite pen of all time. I'd order more if my wife would let me :-) I always carry one in my pocket, and I love the fact that because of the cap (instead of a push-button), it will never open in my pocket and leak or stab me. I prefer the fine-point blue now, though I used to carry a 1mm-tipped black version for years. Writes well and dries fast on more stuff than you'd expect (not everything, but definitely better than most pens). I'm not left-handed but apparently lefties smudge ink a lot when writing and this one helps avoid that, but I just enjoy writing things and not having to worry about smudging like I would with a gel pen, though it writes about as smooth as one. It's definitely not the smoothest-writing pen ever and it's not perfect, but for the price it's excellent (I mean come on, it's under $5 each!). I've probably been carrying a version of this pen for over ten years as my "everyday carry" and I always keep at least a spare in my briefcase. I've gotten so good at not losing pens as I get older that I tend to run them try rather than lose them, which at least means my stash lasts a while! I'd say with light daily use one pen lasts me 6-9 months easily. You can see how much ink is left which is nice, and they're cheap enough I usually toss them when they run out (seems harder to find refills than new pens, though they are technically refillable). One plus to not carrying a very expensive pen is if I do lose one (or one "walks away"), it's not a big deal, but it's still nice enough that I take care of it and try not to lose them often. The funniest thing is that 95% of people I loan my pen to, have no idea how to open it! They usually try twisting it first, then pushing an end, and then eventually they usually figure out (or I mention) that you pull the cap off. It does click in a bit firmly and the look is a bit ambiguous when closed, so I kind of understand, but it's still funny. And if I pull the cap off and attach it to the other end (it has good balance with and without the cap sitting on the back end) for the person, they usually write on themselves before realizing I've opened it for them. You just can't win--but just in the loaning department, in all other ways you can definitely win with this pen! They appear to have stopped carrying this precise pen in office supply stores at least around me, which is why I've had to go online to find my stock. I have had a couple of coworkers who (independently) decided on this pen as their everyday carry as well which kind of surprised me, because most people have never heard of it (or don't care, most likely). That's way too much about a pen, but I have used it heavily for over 10 years, and I do enjoy typing on my mechanical keyboard even more that writing :-)

Best ballpoint pens ever. I was buying the click jet stream pens but thought I’d try these at about half the cost. They write just as well but you have to pull the cap off like a stick pen. That’s okay by me.

I am very picky about the pens I use. Very! But I hate losing expensive pens. Because of check fraud protection, the size of the barrel, the weight of the pen, and the consistently smooth flow, I've been hooked on this pen for years, but have noticed that I must be one of a few, as they are disappearing from stores. I used to get them at Walmart or Target, but now can only find the stick pen fine tip by special order. I've tried many different brands to find a replacement that was readily available, but have had to come back to the Uniball Jetstream stick pen fine point as my favorite pen ever. The larger 1.o tip is just as smooth, but I prefer the finer point. The newer version in stores now, the "sport" design, has a bigger, rougher barrel. It's fine for writing a check, but not for anything lengthy. A man with big hands would probably prefer the bigger barrel, and since there's no cap to lose and it writes just as smoothly, I'm not surprised it is the pen stores are carrying. I'm glad I can still get my favorite, though!

I do a lot of sketching with pens, and when I find one that gives a good quality line without being (c) expensive, (b) bleeding through the paper, or (a) globbing at the tip, I tend to jump on them. Such was the case with these pens. They write at most angles (I.E. tilting the pen, not upside-down like Space Pens) so they're easy to shade with quickly and without hassle. The one downside I've had with them in the months since my purchase is that the unused ones don't last as long ink-wise as when they were new. At first, they would last a few weeks, but lately they've lasted days-- or less. If you're in a position where you blow through pens because you write a LOT, these are great. If you might have them sit in a drawer for a long time without use, you may want to pass.

As a left-hander and serial smudger- this pen saved my notebook from random splotches and smudges! I am so glad I gave this pen a chance; as I am sure it saved my life! Frankly the price is a little steep for a pen- but boy oh boy is it worth it! The ink glides on perfectly, and is so smooth in its writing. The pen feels heavy and is pretty durable. If you're also seriously flawed like me- you'll find the cap to be the perfect fidget toy. The cap coming on and off is so secure and makes the perfect snapping sound.

Arrived much quicker than I expected and was exactly what I ordered. Fantastic!

En el producto se indica que es un pack de 12, pero solo mandan un bolígrafo. Creo que tendrían que cambiar la descripción.

The packing received is different from the pictures. Is the item correct?

Ótimo produto.

La descripción da lugar a errores. Dice pack de 12 unidades y solo envían uno, por lo tanto deben cambiarla
