    The good ol’ BIC G2. Phat fucking lines, I’ve never had one clog, they’re comfortable to hold and fun to take apart and put back together again while you pretend it’s a gun.

    For finer lines, though, I’d want a Sharpie (and not the one shown here). I don’t know the model of the pen, though. I basically only ever have them if I happen to find one on the ground 🤣

    5

    I would pick 3 but I don’t think its ball point and I have trouble controlling the strength when I press down on the paper.

    1. The Bic Pilot G2 in 1mm writes like butter. Glorious. $4.95 for a 4 pack.

    The day I first gripped a #5, had there been clickbait thumbnails back then, mine would have read:

    1 & 2 top picks, then 6 & 7. The rubber sleeves are nice for short notes and whatnot. They get slippery from sweating eventually. Maybe just a me thing.

    I have already chosen. And the one that I have chosen for life is not in this set.

        I was using whatever pens I could get before I found the JP pens. Now when I see one, I have to get it. The writing feels as though it glides like a brush over the paper.

        Besides that, not sure why people say they explode on them, mine are indestructable. I write and draw with a very heavy hand and they stay rock solid. Pretty good pick for heavy handed people.

    I’m the only one going for #4? It’s a uni ball vision elite, and I have about ten refills right now. Have had that barrel for the last fifteen or so years.

      yeah I don’t know how anyone can be voting for #5. it has to be the worst pen on the list. uncomfortable, dries up easily, doesn’t write consistently. #4 is amazing, but they do have one better but it’s not in the picture.

    5 is the objectively correct answer here.

      It’s probably the choice I would have to go with, but when I was working with full boxes a lot, I started caring more about which pens were sturdy sharp enough to stab through tape and drag through it 50 times an hour and not end up looking at the end of your pen and find out the tip ripped off. Switching to a box knife over and over slows you down a lot and I needed the pen to cross out and document what was missing from the orders. Pens with caps are a pain for that as well, waste time.

      I probably should have tried to find something like this: https://atechgo.com/products/multitool-pen-9-in-1-box-cutter?variant=31317899149448&srsltid=AfmBOorxxFa__k_qsBl8iPIi6kKPJc6A4Ah6nJ8WZ7gm3JZhWGj1qBZ_1AY

        I used to have a need to open things a lot while on the other side of a security barrier (and metal detector.) I ended up getting a Gerber Shard to carry around on my keychain. Does most of my multitool, prying and even knife jobs without being sharp enough to get taken by TSA (or rent-a-cop or whomever.)

        Damn that pen is actually super handy. My only issue I’d have is i really like having a fine tip pen I use a Pilot G2 07 black pen

    Honestly those of us who’ve bought 1 or 2 already main those. I’ll never by another pen, the writing quality of the Uniball is just superb. The plastic grip isn’t uncomfortable like you’d think, and rubber grips tend to feel weird after lots of writing anyways. The build quality is top notch, as someone who’s accidentally broken lots of pens. Just a great design
