Pilot, Precise V5 RT Refillable & Retractable Rolling Ball Pens, Extra Fine Point 0.5 mm, Black, Pack of 12

These pens are consistently wonderful writing instruments. Each pen has consistent flow, nib and line weight and weight in the hand. We’ve ordered several boxes of this style and each pen performs just as well as the next. The ink lasts a long time and it dries fairly quickly on the page. I know that my husband will need more pens for work and these are his favorites so we will definitely continue to buy more.

This is my favorite grading pen, and I’ve been in the classroom 23 years. Here’s why:1) ultra-fine point makes it easy to fill in grades in those tiny boxes if you still have a paper grade book2) quick dry means it won’t smear on a hall pass or in your plan book3) waterproof, which means you can highlight across it4) vibrant colors: I grade and take notes in purple and green. The refills aren’t available for purple and green, but I keep a supply of these pens on-hand. The red is nice and bright, and black and blue are high-contrast & easy to read5) comfortable! It’s the most comfortable pen that I have found to use, while still FEELING like a pen, not an orththotic writing implement.

Bought these pens for grading, love the fine line, and the quick dry effect prevents smearing. Only drawback after long term use I noticed there was a slight bend in the tip. Smooth grip, and the variety of colors look great on different paper textures. Definitely recommend. Excellent buy for the price. These are my favorite pens.

I do a lot of writing and these are my favorite pens. Super fine and smooth

The 12 colors include black, navy, blue, turquoise/aqua, red, orange, dark green, light Lime Green, pink, purple, yellow, and burgundy.I've been using these pens for years, and when I saw that I could purchase the entire pack that includes all 12 colors on Amazon, I jumped on it. These pens are really hard to find in all colors.The precise needlepoint makes it easy to write on thin lines and small spaces. They include a comfortable grip that as long enough for most hand sizes to hold the pen comfortably. They are clicker pens, so you don't have to worry about losing the cap like the cap version of this pen.I saw a couple of reviews of people complaining that they're dark green pen did not work. I tested all of my pens, as you can see in the picture my dark green pen works fine. All the colors work perfectly. I did find though that the aqua color seem to make a little bit thicker lines than the rest of them.I know that pilot has a lot of gel pens in their lineup, and I have come across some people thinking that the Pilot Precise V5 RT pens are gel pens, but they are not. Personally, when I write with this pen I feel like it's the closest thing you can get to a fountain pen, but in a needlepoint. It's more of a free-flowing style of ink, but it doesn't bleed, it's not messy, and it creates these really nice thin lines.Also if you're wondering what the difference between these and the needlepoint Pilot FriXion pens, like the Synergy or the Clicker pens, it's that the Pilot FriXion pens are gel pens, and they're erasable. These Pilot Precise V5 RT pens are not erasable nor are they gel pens. These are their original needlepoint pens.

Excellent writing pen. No smear!!!

Amazing. I love the colors and the smoothness!!!

Have always liked and used uniball since 1997 while in college. Never bled or smeared while writing essays or notes.
