Love this product. I have always used papermate pen due to my work. As a nurse I have to use black ink pens. Which I ordered. But sadly I received blue ink pens. Which is a shame.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely to write with, but quite short life
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 May 2014
Colour Name: blackSize Name: 12 countVerified Purchase
Being a student, I do a lot of writing. I've tried loads of different brands of pens, trying to find the one that I can sustain writing with for long periods. Up until now, my favourite pen to write with was the cheap and cheerful Bic Crystal, but after using these for days on end during revision periods, the shape really started to cause some pain and swelling to my fingers.

I thought I'd try the Paper Mate, and I was very impressed at how comfortable they were to hold; and it glided across pages very smoothly whilst writing. It matched the Bic on smoothness on the page, and definitely surpassed on comfort.

The only downside to these pens is the very short life. They give up the ghost even when there's still about 3cm of ink left on the inside tube. Seems very wasteful to chuck away a perfectly fine ''case'' because the ink inside runs out quite quickly.

The pens are still worth it, in my opinion, if you can put up with the short life.

Initially my box of pens didn't write... they had all formed ink blobs on the end.
Easy fix - simply pull the blob off of the pen's point.
...they all write BEAUTYfully now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite disposable pen!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2013
Colour Name: blackSize Name: 12 countVerified Purchase
These pens are great everyday, basic ball pens. The barrel is a good size making it easy to grip and with its rubber and ribbing, never slips. It retracts so doesn't leave marks on anything when you put it down - and has no lid to lose!

The pen itself is extremely smooth and very rarely 'blobs' like other such pens. It seems to last a decent time (although because this is the large, it does run out quicker than say a Bic Biro. Then again, because I like it so much, I tend to stick to it and maybe use it more than I would so possibly not a fair comparison!). Definitely highly recommend to anyone as a good writer!

One negative is the title of this item is 'medium black' but a size large nib was provided (1.4mm nib writing a 1mm line). However, this is actually very happy with this so wasn't a problem for me personally!

Only other point to make, as someone else said, it's a real shame (and not very 'green' at all) that one has to buy whole new pens when they run out - pack of refills would be great!

3.0 out of 5 stars Manufacturing qulity is lowered
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2023
Colour Name: blueSize Name: 12 count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I have used these pens (Paper Mate Flexgrip Elite) in the past and I loved them. But now the quality is lowered. In the last box I have purchased, half of the pens were not able to retract and one of them was broken (they are in a box, so it could not be transportation defect). The old batches also looked differently - the back part was in two colors, not one.

Also, it was impossible to find refills for this pen. What is the point of making refillable, when refills are not sold?!

Still, the pen itself is light and well balanced. Low writing resistance.
