I need a good pen for everyday use

[einhander]

I tend to have a collection of Pilot G2-05s in my desk and computer bag, but they keep getting stolen or shoved into peoples' eyes so I have run out. Need some more good quality pens with ink that doesn't leach or smear.

Suggest me.

Fisher space pen !!!!!!!!


If you dont feel like spending the 65 bucks for a real here is a neat hack from a couple of cheapo Zebras to allow the use of the fisher refill cartridge. and get you a very simialr look. It works well for the most part the retract sometimes is not 100% or is kinda sticky but I have been using this hack for a long time now...... Hell your in china you ought to be able to find a knock off for about tree...fiddy

Try out a Pilot Precise V5 RT. I also used to use G2s and I think I like this pen better.

And anyone who thinks a BIC is a good pen is sorely mistaken. Yeah, they are durable, but that's about it.

uni-ball vision micro. It dries fast and isn't too expensive. Which is key when people take them all the time...

Pilot g-2 07 are the pens I've used since 8th grade lol they work good.

I like the g-2s. I have a few pilot v balls that i like too. Much finer than the g-2. But my professors this semester are commies and dont allow pens... :hitler:

Pilot Dr Grip, $10 bucks but I love it.

When I've needed a good pen at home I always grab our Montblanc Meisterstück. Then again, that's a $300 pen..

The typical Pilot series is all I use for class work. As soon as I take them to work they get taken too, I feel your pain

When I was working where I needed a good working pen, but I knew customers and co-workers would be walking off with them, I got hooked on the Bic Atlantis. Cheap and always work, but are not shaped like a tube. Soft on the fingers, and small enough to be in a pocket without taking up too much space, and retractable so you don't ink yourself or pocket.

(I saw the BIC ain't a good pen comment above, and still posted.)

I like zebra pens. F-701 is a great pen.

[jaywood]

Zebras are good. I noticed the ink ran out fast though.

I'm on that Pilot G2 time right now though. .38
