Zebra Pen F-301 Ballpoint Fine Point 0.7mm Stainless Steel Retractable Ballpoint 12-Pack – Easy-Glide Ink, Non-Slip Grip, Metal Clip, Refillable with F-Refill, Professional Design (27110)

These pens write smoothly, and have lasted well over the past four months of regular use. They feel weighty in the hand without causing strain during long periods of use. I love the professional looking design and how well they match my mechanical pencils from the same product line. Overall, excellent pens!

I never thought a ballpoint could make me this excited, but the Zebra F-301 has truly won me over. Its sleek stainless-steel barrel feels balanced in hand, the fine 0.7 mm tip glides without skipping or smudging, and the textured grip keeps it comfortably steady through long note sessions. The retractable click is satisfyingly solid—no accidental ink disasters in my bag—and the refillable cartridges mean this pen will be by my side for a long time. Stylish, dependable, and effortlessly smooth, the F-301 has earned its spot as my go-to writing essential.

I saw a review once that these are great pens for the car, because they handle the temperature changes fine and function well, and that's exactly what I bought them for. I fully agree with that review, and I've since bought more for my spouse's car, because these pens are small and convenient to tuck into the door pockets of the car, and they write cleanly and immediately as soon as you use them. They're comfortable to hold, and the padded handle bit doesn't get weird and oily like some plastics get in the heat of the car. Will absolutely be buying more as needed, as I lose or give away my car pens; my kids like to borrow these on the drive home, and sometimes take them with them, so maybe I need to do the bank string to the pen to keep it in the car lol

After reading several reviews here, I was reminded of all the things I like about Zebra pens. They have been my go-to pens for the last 6 years at least. They are very comfortable to write with, smooth writing, attractive looking, and more.My one gripe....they are not very durable in part of their design. The barrel is a very nice stainless steel, however my criticism is in regard to the construction of the black plastic that screws into the stainless body. On nearly every one of the Zebras I've owned, the part of the plastic that threads into the body eventually cracks and breaks. Meaning, the pen becomes unusable without taping the pieces together. For a pen that is meant to be refilled, this is a serious flaw in my mind. I buy the ink refills, but I have never gotten more than 2 refills out of a pen before it breaks. I tend to fidget with my pens, which means some unnecessary un/screwing of the pen, but even without that, I usually find the pen loosens with writing, meaning I often have to retighten it and I would venture to guess it is tightening the plastic against metal that breaks it.By all means, don't let this keep you from buying these pens. They are still good. Just be aware they may not last you as long as you might hope.Zebra, if you could fix this construction flaw, I would give a 5-star rating without a second thought. However, a pen that is advertised as durable and refillable, yet can't seem to handle a refill or two before breakage, is a big weakness (and I take good care of my pens!).Update (5/15/21)I went to Zebra's website where they have the following under their "Contact Us" tab:"Zebra Pen Corp. offers a limited lifetime warranty and guarantees the performance of our writing instruments. If it fails to perform properly, please contact us for repair or replacement. This warranty is void in the event of abuse, or physical damage unrelated to the purchase and/or function of the pen. Service is subject to our discretion."I contacted them and within a couple days, someone had gotten back to me and said they would send a replacement!Still an issue with their pens' design in my opinion, but I'll up my rating to 5-stars for good customer service and standing by their warranty.

Hands done the best pen. I refuse to rise anything rose. They last forever, they are small which fits my hand so much better, and they have a clean line. I love them.

These are a nice pen. The tip is a tiny bit wider than I expected. Also the feel in the hand is light but it is a bit thin so i do not write as long. Decent pen.

Absolutely love these pens. I buy them for work no smearing, ink flows great, easy to use just click and go, last longer then expected great price for such a good pen definitely buying more.

Love these pens. Quality is great, ease of use great, writes better than most pens, dries quickly, the grip is great. Great value.
