PILOT Dr. Grip Limited Refillable & Retractable Gel Pen, Fine Point, Assorted Barrel, Black Ink, Single Pen (36274)

This has been the pen I've used daily for at least 10 years. It's a comfortable grip and the product holds up well, making it a great choice for a refillable pen. I only purchased a new one because I lost a piece when I changed out the refill.

I read the reviews on this site.. people leaving poor reviews because of the cost. First, should be product reviews, not issues with price shipping,packaging etc With that said, the price here was far less than any others , ebay, office depot, target etc. If you don't mind getting a random color. So on to the product review, I am a penaholic. I love all Pilot pens. The good thing about the Dr Grip is that you can use any G2 refills from fine point to bold and they come in a range if fun colors . All about mood and preferences. This pen offers a great grip to ease the bunion on your middle finger when writing. This pen came in fine point. I will use as is, but when it runs out, will refill with a thicker tip. I will buy another one to keep in my bag and this one will be for my office.

This is my favorite pen; I maintain 3-4 and buy the refills on repeat. The only bummer about buying online is you can’t necessarily pick the color. As cliche as it is I try to get pink, because any other color walks in my male dominated environment.

The pen I have in my hand has been with me since 2016. I like the way it feels in my hand with the gel grip and I also like the way it writes. It doesn't cost much for new cartridges and you have a selection of inks to choose from. The "fine" refills are more pointy and the lines are thin, the "bold" refills are more broad and stand out on the page. I've used both options over the years and prefer the bold over fine. I do a lot of writing and found that the fine tips would be susceptible to cause tears in the pages as I write. Not all the time but enough to make me want to not use them anymore. The only thing with the bold tips are that the ink can smear if you brush it with your hand while writing. I've never had any issues with the pen I've been using for 8 years now. No issues with the springs, barrel, none of that. We all have our favorite pens and this one is no exception. Once you figure out which ink best suites your writing style, you will feel the same way.

love pens

I love these fat pens. I bought several. The only problem I've had was finding the correct size refills. There's a few different ones that i thought, "yeah, thats it" and it wasnt ...so buy the right refills

My wife has several of these pens and I have always loved using them. She purchased one for me to use. I tend to write in a smaller font size, and it ink flows consistently. I am able to write clearly and not worry about blotting. Its comfortable in my grip and the weight isn't bad either. My wife uses these pens for her school notes and I know I will continue to use the pens for my work. Please excuse my handwriting in the picture I provided, but I wanted to give you an idea of what it looks like.

I remember a couple of decades back when these things started showing up. What were these big pens, and why were they so expensive? Those were not even gel pens back then; they were regular ballpoints. Yet they had the nerve to cost more than the G-2 pens that I adored. Fast forward to now, they're still expensive. But in a twist of irony, they now come with G-2 refills. For these pens, you get a random color. I've got silver. You may get a different one. Fit and finish is admittedly good. It's thicker than G-2 and takes some getting used to, but it's actually not as thick as I remember. But it being a silicone gel... lint and dirt magnet, the grip is. I'd be lying if it's not a pain to keep it clean. But it's surprisingly well-built and is comfortable to boot. The fact that it expresses none of the plastic rattles that my G-2 shows whenever I write is a big plus. Despite that, I don't expect this pen to last that long--despite the refills and despite the price and build quality. Rubber grips do not age well. I've just gotten this pen and run it through the paces for a week or two so ultimately time will tell, but to be honest, I'm not having high hopes for it if I decide to make it a main pen for my writing sessions. I'll update it on its longevity later on.
