BICCristal Xtra Smooth Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point (1.0mm), Blue, 24-Count

These are a true classic and the only pens I will ever use at work and at home. You can't go wrong with this standard pen. I need blue pens for work and have never been a fan of a gel pen so these are my go to everyday pen. Smooth writing, long lasting.

Last a long, long time (been going for about 1 year on a pair of pens) and it remains incredibly solid in terms of usage. I've been using them heavily for the past year, and I've never had an issue with the pen breaking or parts of it coming apart with usage. It can of course be disassembled easily but it is incredibly good in terms of quality.

I normally prefer Xtra Bold pens (I bear down hard when I write and I love the smooth writing flow, the bold ink color, and the price), but sometimes you need to write smaller/neater, and these are great for that. You can't bear down as hard on these without them being scratchy, and the ink color is lighter, but they do offer a similar smooth writing flow and a great price point.Side note, I have blue Xtra Bold and these blue Xtra Smooth, but I don't get them confused because they have different colored caps and ends. The Xtra Smooth ones are a lighter, more typical blue, and the Xrta Bold ones have a darker blue. A little touch I really appreciate when I'm reaching for the right pen for the project I'm working on.

good pens and great price - thank you

These pens rock. Bic has not changed the quality since they first introduced this pen. Remarkably functional, no big deal if you lose one, and they are comfortable and familiar to write with. I love that they don't roll off your desk thanks to the hexagon shape.My only wish is that they offered a pack with 0.5mm tip and clear body, similar to these.The blue ink is rich and familiar.

The media could not be loaded. Not sure if it's is 35% smoother but the pens write well without skipping. Good value for a disposable pen

Good product. Works well. I got this type because I have arthritis in my hands and these pens do not slip out of my hands as do just the rounded shaped pens. Arrived on time.

I used these all my life...
