[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Super Gel – 0.5mm Green Ink
‘Tis the Season for trying to stay on track (sort of) it’s been a busy day – stuff happening, things going on. To keep with the theme, this is a green gel roller ball pen I picked up in my last JetPens order. This is the Pilot Super Gel – 0.5mm in green ink (to keep with the season).
This is a utility pen. Basic clear plastic. It’s about 5.7†long capped and 6.3†long with the cap posted and fairly well balanced. The cap posts securely (with a solid click) and has a fairly study molded plastic clip. The clear plastic of the cap and barrel let you see how much of the green ink reservoir is available. And the cap has decorative cut outs. The barrel has a ribbed grip, but little in the way of ergonomics.
The gel ink is decently dark and rich with a conical roller ball tip. It has a smooth action across the page. It’s a decent, no frills pen with a seemingly huge ink reservoir. You’ll write with this pen for a good long time. It’s also relatively inexpensive that makes it a decent investment – even if you have to order it online.
The numbers:
1. How does it work? – 1 It’s decent. No frills. But it’s a good fine point gel stick pen
2. Grip and feel – 0.5 – It’s an inexpensive, plastic, no frills pen. The ribbed grip gives it traction without much else.
3. Material – 1 It’s okay for what it is. It’s a solid clear plastic stick pen with a good cap and a solid clip.
4. Overall Design – 1 -It’s a basic stick pen with a nod to ergonomics. It’s a nice thing but nothing out of the ordinary.
5. Price Point – 0.5 – It’s a solid pen for a decent price. These pens are $1.65 on JetPens. They’re not available in stores, just online. And you’d have to get a lot to qualify for free shipping.
