this is the absolute best pen, I'malways studying and taking notes. you can write with this pen for hours and the gel grip and bigger barrel really help with comfort, it doesn't create a sore spot on my finger. it's perfect the ink never bleeds or smears. I've ordered so many of these and gift them

Some people prefer to vote in blue ink to leave a trail for auditors. Finding a blue ink pen with the right hue and the right kind of ink is tough. Let the search for the perfect pen end with this pen, as the hue of the ink is dark enough, it’s not gel-based or paste-based and won’t gum up the machines, and it won’t bleed through paper. I just tested it today, so I know it works for the purpose. By the way, this pen isn’t just limited to ballots. It‘s useful for any other official document as well. If you’re looking for the perfect pen to mark official documents with, you can’t go wrong with this pen. Edit 04/05/2023 — 1:39 PM: I originally had a video that showcased the pen, but after my mom spotted her signature in it, I was freaking out, trying to make sure it wouldn’t end up in this review. Thankfully, the Amazon Communities team pulled all the photos and videos from my review, giving me another chance to go back and make edits. With this in mind, I shall leave you the four pictures I took during the filming. From right to left, the first photo is of the pen itself, the second photo shows that it fits in my tactical pen holster, the third photo showcases the hue of the ink, and the fourth photo is proof that it does not bleed through paper.

I am a doctor and I write a LOT as I talk to my patients. This is the pen I use every day. It has a soft, translucent pad around the barrel which provides four benefits to me. First, it is fat and soft enough to be very comfortable to hold. Second, refill ink cartridges are easy to get, so I don't have to throw away a whole pen! Third, the ink cartridges on the fine point last a LONG time (I like that!). Fourthly and finally, I can SEE how much ink is left in the cartridge, so I know when I am getting low and will need a refill. In addition, the gel ink flows smoothly without effort, is waterproof as soon as it is dry, and it dries fast, so seldom smears or smudges. And the pen comes in bright colors in this translucent model; neon pink, bright turquoise, and purple. If I put down my pen, everyone in the office knows it is mine and will make sure it finds its way back to me! These pens last a long time. With daily use for three years, my last one finally broke when it rolled off an exam table and hit the floor for about the umpteenth time. The plastic cracked by the threads and I finally had to replace it. I am a long-term fan.

I use a pen all day every day for work. When I'm at home, I bust out a fountain pen but I can't have a drippy, messy pen at the office, and fountain pens don't require enough pressure for the triplicate forms I write out 10-20 times a day. This pen is comfortable to grip all day, has a really impressively consistent flow, and is big enough that it doesn't get lost in a sea of cheap ballpoint pens. It feels solid and durable, and I hope it lasts me for quite a while. This is the only ballpoint pen I will use anymore, and my day is ruined when I leave it at home. Highly recommend for all-day writing. It's a nice pen!

I bought the blue & purple barrel pens, both have already cracked. The pens are really nice to write with though.

Comfortable and writes well

Perfect writes amazing

I love to write and can journal for hours. I landed on Dr. Grip Pens many years ago- Gel and ballpoint and have all colors. Love this pen. Lost one in Walmart and backtracked for hours trying to find it as if I had lost gold! Was checking in at the hospital one day and the assistant was using a Dr. Grip. We had a conversation about how we are both were enamored with this pen. Love the way it writes and the right size for my "grip" plus flows really smooth. Like one has a favorite coffee mug, these are my all time favorite pens. And just keep purchasing more of them!

I bought this to replace one I had had for years, unfortunately when I was replacing the refill it snapped off near the silver point and it could not be repaired, having said that I have had it for about 10 years if not more. I have arthritis so find the grip on this pen enables me to write with more comfort than others I have tried

If you like a thicker pen to hold with a little weight theses are great. Not super heavy but weightier than the basic cheaper pens. Grip is really nice to hold too. I’ve had to keep a close eye on it though as everyone who picks it up in my office tries to sneak off with it.

Good value pen, colors are easy to spot in desk clutter, pen is comfortable to hold and ink does not bleed like gel can.

This pen is very comfortable to write with. It is very easy on the hands, and the ink is smooth and steady. It may not fall into the category of "premium" writing instruments, but it is a great pen for day-to-day use.

Excelente, sencilla, cómoda y ligera
