CROSSAT0555S 2-Edge Gel Ink Roller Ball Pen-Matte Black

The media could not be loaded. Excellent quality pen! Sadly my mum died recently- when registering her death the Registrar had one of these pens, which wrote beautifully.I love a good writer- some pens just make your handwriting better somehow and this is one of them! I asked her about it and knew I had to get one.I’m normally a fountain pen fan, but this is perhaps even better. The inks write smoothly and glide effortlessly on the paper. The retractable action is quite cool- had never seen it before.Obviously there are cheaper alternatives and the refills are fairly expensive, but you are paying for quality. Love mine! She had the blue one, and the coating had worn a bit so I went for the silver one as probably less likely to wear off.

I love these pens, nice to hold, write nicely and look great.My old one has been battered over the years so was time for a new one.I love watching people pick it up and try to use it. How lone before they realise they have to pull the pen to make it work??

Great value for money

Absolutely love it! Nice weight, lovely to write with. It looks good too.

Pros:I bought this pen as a gift and was very happy with it when it arrived. I was giving this to someone who is getting into business and wanted a professional looking impressive product that didn't cost the earth.Cross pens I have had in the past and I think they are really good products and this was no different. On receipt of the item it came very well packaged and presented in a dark brown gift box with the brand name on with the pen neatly packaged inside. It really looked the part for a gift.The pen itself is a really nice quality product. Quite often with pens the belt clip can easily become wobbly or fall off and often the screw mechanism controlling the nib of the pen can also become loose. On this product straight away it feels strong and the build quality is excellent for the money.Con's:The pen I think is too heavy and too chunky. Although the product is good quality and it will last a long time it is just too heavy and chunky for my liking. This is personal preference however for me it is very wide for a hand to fit comfortably around it to write comfortably.Overall I would recommend the product hence the 4 star rating, however be aware it is definitely for people who prefer heavier writing instruments!

A little on the chubby side for my small fingers but it is a beautiful writer. Very pleased with my purchase.

A pen made with high quality material that feels very nice to write with and has a solid weight to it. The retractable casing to release the tip is a nice touch.

I've always preferred to use a rollerball type pen and I've used a few different makes but there's one thing that I find slightly annoying - having to remove a cap before use (I've read that this is because rollerball ink is water based so if you pop it into a pocket with the point out the ink will seep out into your clothes). Cross have designed a rollerball with a retractable refill and a pocket clip that is not usable in writing mode - superb, and another superb for the way they have done it: pull each end of the pen apart and the point comes out, push back together and the point retracts. It all feels built to last as well. To me almost £30 on a pen (including delivery) is a bit over the top (I know you can spend a lot lot more!) but it does feel special - its smooth and gives a solid ink colour. The barrel of the pen is good to hold as well. The supplier: Webster's Pen Shop are brilliant with a quick and professional service. All highly recommended if like me you like to write with a quality rollerball.
