BIC Glide Bold Black Ballpoint Pens, Bold Point (1.6mm), 12-Count Pack, Retractable Ballpoint Pens With Comfortable Full Grip

I bought these because writing done with fine point pens was getting too hard to read. These pens solved my problem. Easy to write with. Nice, bold ink that is easy to read and does not smear.

Ergonomic, used to be called Velocity name change to glide. My favorite pen.

What a pen! I have been searching for a 1.6mm pen for years that does not leave globs of ink or smear, AND this is the pen. It's like writing on highly polished glass... and I have to at times, look down to make sure that I am writing and getting such effortless performance. No, I do not work for BIC! I simply like a bold, velvet smooth wide pen stroke and this pen delivers... each and every time. It is very comfortable to hold/use for long periods, so I will be ordering another box of these pens again, just to have them.

These are fantastic pens. I’ve used them for the last eight years or so since I first found them at WallyWorld. Use them every day at work and customers frequently express how great they feel and write.

Super smooth and comfortable. But, there is so little ink in them they don’t last very long at all. I’ve run out of ink 5 times or more to empty and dry. And that’s just only using them for a couple crossword puzzles a day. Disappointment

These are the best pens I’ve found in the past decade. I am extremely picky because I’m a lefty and a contractor that uses writing utensils on job sites from plans to wood measurements with a subcontractor to even contracts. My biggest problem for over 50 years have always been the thin tips I can break off, not get any ink from to the tip breaking entirely but once my daughter showed me these 1.6mm pens exists I haven’t been able to use anything else. I love the blue ones because I typically like a lawyer use those yellow note sheet pads to write on and it’s so much easier to see blue ink on than black ink on it. I also love it for use on official documents and signing contracts as well its a lot easier on my wrists as well.If you are a pen connoisseur like myself and don’t want to break the bank on pens that can be lost easily as many can and from my home office, the expensive messenger bag my daughter bought me (after 40 years of being mobile building with reusable plastic bags to carry paper and spilling coffee she not only got me a bag that wasn’t a briefcase because those were great for my corporate jobs but not at all in my SUV or job sites for me to reuse at all. Then over the years I’ve seen her style from high school to college, grad school for business, city volunteer politics and into Fortune 500 company job with corporate America I’ve seen her purses, lack of purses and migration to tank bags on her sport motorcycle with backpacks that held helmets then to tote bags and messenger bags that carried her purse items in it too there wasn’t a bag neither of had seen reasonable for a dirty job site that wasn’t very feminine and plain black without any print even brand names)That is until this holiday where she found me the perfect one so hopefully I won’t be losing and finding pens on an average of about 2-3 a week overall gone and having to rebuy but these Velocity 1.6mm are extremely durable as I’ve dropped a few on the ground and then stepped on them in my work boots and nothing happened to them not even a broken clip on the side.I will say I live a block away from Target, Staples, and a bunch of other places where the lowest I’ve seen these pens for a single box for was $15.99 and then last week I went to Staples needing ink where my daughter does all the stocking of my office supplies and manages all my paperwork I’m so greatful it’s been a while since being in a supply store and this same box right now is $21.99 at Staples sadly. Amazon is the Best Deal and won’t go anywhere else. Definitely worth the money, the quality and the price.

For those who love bold writing pens these are the best ever !

Good pan
