Writing can be fun again..

Sally November 20, 2025

These bold pens improve my handwriting so much and to think of going back to a regular pen is absolutely not! I always carry one of these with me in case I have to fill something out because trying to write with a regular pen, my handwriting is all over the place. I cannot get the letters level with each other for one thing. There's something about control that these pens allow. Actually the fine point gel pens are nice also for preciseness but for regular writing,, Bold is Gold.

Cheryl March 13, 2026

This is my favorite pen to keep on hand. It is smooth to write with and with nerve damage in my wrist, the bold ink shows up easily with my light pressure. I used to love the fine ink pens but as this problem got worse as I am getting older, I had to adjust to the bold ink pens. I use them for everything; letters, memos, forms, surveys, etc. So they would work great for anyone. The fine or the bold. These write great until they start getting empty and their ink stops flowing and it's time for a new pen or the ink refills. And they work great also!

The BEST !

Shelley May 18, 2026

Never met a Pilot G-2 I didn't love! These were for my son, who favors the BOLD, which have been harder to come by in the stores. His artistic side is duely (doodle- ly?), satisfied when he has one of these in hand, whether for work or pleasure. I hope these are never out of stock and are manufactured as long as humans have hands.

Pilot G2 is the best!

Anna May 12, 2026

This is my favorite pen! I work in an office and all of my coworkers who buy our own pens buy this brand because it is the best. Many clients take these pens from our office because they love how easily the ink flows and how smoothly these pens write. Most people in my office prefer a medium point but I like an extra fine point so this is the pen for me for any physical writing tasks. This pen allows me the ability to write maximum information in a small space without any bleeding or loss of clarity even when the information is being scanned and faxed/emailed across the country. I have this pen with me at all times and carry it with my business cards as I consider it essential for me to always be prepared for any networking opportunities. Pilot G2s are available in multiple colors and each one looks great. The ink dries quickly to prevent any smudges on legal documents no matter which point you choose. Overall the Pilot G2 is the best gel pen on the market!

Great Pen, love it

sundowngirl May 7, 2026

Dries quick, doesn't make a mess or leak in your pocket or purse. I like the narrow (.5) but also have used the wider sizes are good too. BUT on narrow college lined paper, or anywhere you need to write small, getting a lot of words down, clearly .. I recommend the smaller size.

Elegant brush pens for writing

Russ May 14, 2026

These brush pens are quite elegant. The colors appear gentle while still being vibrant on the paper. The pens glide effortlessly when writing, and the ink remains consistent. Furthermore, I appreciate how they feel in my grip. They are lightweight and do not need any shaking or specific positioning. The metallic hues look lovely on paper, and my daughters enjoy using them as well!

You NEVER REGRET BUYING THE BEST

Gail May 19, 2026

The best pens for the money! To write notes, or draw designs, they never miss, and lines straight or curves, these are the best. So many pens SKIP! Or do not like to draw curves…I designed jewelry for many years, and I needed a pen that exactly followed what I drew without skipping…I was also a realtor for many years, and this pen never skips when filling out important forms. The only ones I use, even as retired, for check writing, or writing daily lists and notes…worth buying the BEST!

Not what they used to be

Andrew May 29, 2026

I used to absolutely love these pens. The effortless glide, decent ink flow, the perfect grip, and no worry about skipping ink. However, they must have changed something. The last time I purchased these pens, I had ink skipping and dryness (it's like they were dried up inside). These pens are not like they used to be. Maybe I just got a bad pack, but after years of buying them, this was the only time I noticed the decline in quality.

The Fine Point version of this pen does not write smoothly, and the ink skips if you do not write slowly. I was hoping for the same quality as the Bold Point version but with the ability to write smaller print. They are nothing like the Bold Point which is very smooth flowing. I used every one in the pack with very similar results. I still swear by the brand, but I'm never but the fine point again.

Deception %26 Substitution.

Jer01 May 28, 2026

This was an order placed online for delivery. They shipped me the wrong item... There are multiple choices for the "Mixed Colors" option of Pilot gel G2. I chose the option that gave me : black, dark blue, green, red, purple. They sent the option that had: black, light blue, orange, red, purple . Two of the colors were wrong and are of no use to me. There were other problems with this order and how Walmart attempts to deceive us into paying a $6.99 delivery fee without letting you know you are paying the delivery fee. 1] As I added items to my cart, they list the items and the price , and additional line for unknown state sales tax. NO mention of DELIVERY FEE. -- When finished adding items, they say to click and the sales tac will be added. -- When I clicked, I got a total. What they did NOT tell me was that they "sneeked in" a $6.99 delivery fee into that total. -- Still no mentioned of delivery fee -- on any line item or anywhere on the bill for this order. ** I was stupid -- I did not check their math, and paid the delivery fee. I would not have placed the order if they had been honest and showed a delivery fee on the bill. 2] The deception goes on. In the email they sent me confirming my order, THERE IS NO MENTION OF DELIVERY FEE OR SHIPPING FEE ANYWHERE IN THE EMAIL. They even go so far as to not list the price of each Item you just bought. They only give the grand total with fees of all the items. To me, this is to make sure you don't start adding up the total of all the items and figure out there is a ~ $7 discrepancy there -- a delivery charge!!!! If they had itemized delivery fee in the confirm email, I still could have cancelled the order. 3} I never dreamed Walmart of any large company would be this dishonest. And on top of that, they send you something similar they have in stock -- not what you ordered. I guess I will not be doing much business with them in the future.
