TUL GL1 Retractable Gel Pen, Needle Point, 0.5 mm, Gray Barrel, Black Ink, Pack Of 12

As someone who works in an office and attends school full time, I can attest to how well these pens work!! They write flawlessly and are not too bold!

I absolutely adore these pens, they write very smoothly and cleanly

I write a lot of cards/notes. I love these needle point gel pens. A little finer line than my fine line pens. The Tul pens are always nice to handle, and gives you even flow of ink. Like any gel pen the ink dries quickly. Used lots of different kind of pens, but Tul is always my first choice.

The best pens I have ever used. Our AP uses them, and they work great with carbonless copies.

Tul makes the ideal retractable pen for everyday use at work or home. These well-made, stylishness pens fit comfortably in your hand and deliver high quality writing. You won’t find a better pen for price.

Love these pens. Are a staple for work.

These pens are my absolute favorite pens with which I enjoy writing and sketching on paper. I’m quite fond of writing notes by hand, and call me nerdy, but I have grown very fond of these pens. The extra fine point allows for a crisp sharpness in handwriting. Light weight and good fit in my hand and in my fingers’ grip. I love the smooth way these pens feel as I ink letters, words and lines onto ay variety of paper.They’re long lasting, and for me, they seem to last longer than most pens—despite that I am constantly doodling with them The ink is more or less water resistant, drying quickly even in humid environments. Smudged ink really irks me, but I’ve found these pens have good, immediate resistance to smudging, too. That means the ink dries quickly, too.One warning to all my fellow lovers of great ink pens: when others have had occasion to borrow one of these pens from me, I often find they’ll disappear with the loaned pen. They usually find me tracking them down soon thereafter, just to ask them for my pen. That’s when they all say the same thing: I like this pen. Can’t I keep it? It writes so well. Where did you get it? Are these expensive? Et cetera. Et cetera. (Get your own,would ya?)So, yeah, if you buy these and find that they seem to just disappear before your eyes, you might want to think more about who you just saw at your desk. I swear I’m setting a security camera up to keep these pen thieves—intentional or otherwise—in check. So, don’t act surprised when I show up in your office wanting my pen back. You know who you are. I love these pens.

I LOVE these pens. I'm about to order my fourth box of 12 - I use them myself and send them to my clients as part of their welcome package. The only downsides are:1. No refills! I use them up so quickly I'd love to be able to purchase refills and waste less.2. Every few pens will have a defect where the ball falls out of the ballpoint, exposing a fine but hard wire that scratches the paper and leaks ink everywhere, rendering it completely unusable. It's especially frustrating that it seems to happen early in the pen's lifespan.Fortunately, I HAVE found a workaround for problem #2 - I use pliers to remove the faulty tip from the plastic ink chamber, then I remove the tip from an empty pen and push it into the full chamber. (I keep a few empties around for this purpose.) It works great, especially when I'm careful not to let too much air get into the gap!Honestly, even with that foible, the pens are still awesome and more than worth it to me. I write notes for all my clients, so the smooth flow and easy use of these pens is absolutely necessary - and it makes writing a pleasure. No bleed through, no smudging, just beautiful writing for hours. Love the pens!
