Pilot, Precise V5, Capped Liquid Ink Rolling Ball Pens, Extra Fine Point 0.5 mm, Assorted Colors, Pack of 7

These are my favorite pens! I've used these for years now and swear by them! Writes so smooth and great value for the money. They last a long time too.

The absolute best ball point pens on the market! I love these and have always thought this set since I was in high school now I am in working in an office and these are my go to pens ! I love them. They are vibrant, full of ink, and they last a long time.

I've tried a ton of different pens with different line thicknesses and ink types, but this is by far my most favorite pen. I've been using these for four years in college now, and I would be extremely hard pressed to give them up.I write small and I sometimes have a hard time deciphering what I've written if the line thickness is too high. I also don't like pens or pencils that leave a light mark when used. These, because they're liquid ink, leave marks that are of standard heaviness and darkness. In general, unless the paper is super cheap, you don't have to worry about bleeding through unless you've accidentally left the tip of the pen against the paper for a few moments. I use general lined notebooks, write on both sides of the page, and don't have problems with bleedthrough.I especially like the color pack because they offer a variety of shades that aren't too crazy. I color-code my notes because it helps me remember things better, so it's nice to have different colors at my disposal. I also do a lot of grading, so I always need a red pen.I hand-write notes for all of my classes, write notes for my tutoring students, and often hand-write small assignments or drafts. In general, a pack will get me through just about a school year. However, with the addition of the tons of writing I was doing for tutoring, I managed only to get through this past semester before having to buy another pack. Still, when I consider how often they were used, it's not a bother.Are there other pens out there that are better? Maybe. It's hard to imagine getting jazzed up about a pen, but when you consider availability (Amazon Prime), price point, and attributes of the pen, I really think that this is the highest value proposition of virtually any other pen you can find in the office supply market. I've tried a ton of gel, ink, and ballpoint pens and have always returned to these. No other pen comes close.

Best pens ever! I have used these for years!

I needed fine-tip pens for my note card, which my professor allows us to use on his exams. I have wasted so many note cards due to other pens' ink bleeding, and the words becoming unreadable. These pens are perfect. It has a fine tip, is easy to hold, and is colorful so I could distinguish what I've written on my note cart. 10/10

Personally, I love these .5mm pens and all of their assorted colors. They make my penmanship look incredible. I'm a firm believer that a pen can affect your handwriting tremendously. Whenever I use the Pilot V5 pens, I without fail get complimented on my handwriting.PROS: 1) Thin tip - makes it easier to write smaller and get into small spaces. 2) Long life span - I use these every single day to take notes for class or meeting minutes for work and these still last me for 6+ months easily... closer to a year. 3) The ink dries fast so it does not smear or gets on your hand. 4) Feel good in your hand - the size is perfect, not too big or small.CONS: 1) Bleeds through - this is the biggest draw back. However, it's to be expected with these kinds of pens. 2) They will burst on an airplane without fail. 3) As the ink runs low the smoothness of the ink flow becomes much worse.Overall: I would definitely recommend these pens. They're my go to pens for a reasonable price. I'm still looking for the perfect pen - one that preferably doesn't bleed through, so it might take a little more searching. I do like that it's extra fine and a thin tip because I don't like large print. However, if you like your writing to be large, this is not the pen for you.

I needed these penne for my class and they arrived way quicker than expected. They write beautifully and are solid gel ink that does not smear. They are a perfect fit for my accounting class. They were not expensive compared to stores as you get more for what you pay for.
