Zebra Pen F-301A Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Premium Metal Barrel in Assorted Colors, Fine Point, 0.7mm, Black Ink, 4-Pack

My husband loves these pens.

I find Zebra a quality brand of pens. I like ink pens (not gels or marker types). These are a nice fine point ink pen with refills available, which means long time use/owning. Nice comfortable and lightweight considering it's a metal pen. Ink flows, no delay or skipping. I've used them for years for notes and reports.

I first started using zebra pens in 2000.I became a long haul driver. And cheap pens would fail me all the time.Quit writing while still Ink inside! Zebra worked all the way to the end.. And in all types of weather on all types of paper. And they don't leak like those other cheap pens do! Once in a while the plastic barrel would break. But with easy to refill the ones that didn't. And could be able to write immediately!

If I use something other than a Zebra pen, it must be out of desperation. I fell in love with these years ago when I was still keeping a manual ledger book for my eBay auction listings. While I gave up selling long ago, my love for these pens has not faded. I even purchased a single, all metal F-701 that I carry with me wherever I go. I'll use it wherever I make a purchase requiring a signature. Zebra pens are tops in my book. I love 'em! BUT WAIT!!!! ...Update! ... Flawless seller fulfillment, BUT ..... Now very disenchanted with Zebra quality. The purchase of a new box F-301 fine point black. I transferred 3 remaining from an older purchase to the new box. Being a loyal Zebra user for 20+ years, I rated 5*'s automatic. Used a new one. Something felt "off." Zebra has really cheapened these. Inserts are no longer metal. Cheap Plastic! May as well be a BIC! Same crappy issue with these F-301A & F-402's. Not a happy camper. I believe I may be switching to PILOT!

These pens work well for left handed people. Ink dries quickly

I use these at work in food manufacturing where a metal pen is preferable to plastic. They write well and have a fine tip, which I also prefer. For someone with a large hand, you may want to add a pen grip, as they are a little short and narrow.

I'm a huge fan on zebra pens and pencils and have always had the MF-301 (still love them) but needed a thicker pen for work. I was a little weary at first because all I know are the .5mm Zebra products and was so accustomed to them (been using for 20+ years) but when these arrived, I was more than satisfied. For work, I'm going to have to try out the .9mm pencil, I don't see that they sell a pen in .9.mm.

These are a dream to write with
