PILOT Dr. Grip Limited Refillable & Retractable Gel Pen, Fine Point, Assorted Barrel, Black Ink, Single Pen (36274)

Writes really good I like using a good writing pen

Best gel pen

I remember a couple of decades back when these things started showing up. What were these big pens, and why were they so expensive? Those were not even gel pens back then; they were regular ballpoints. Yet they had the nerve to cost more than the G-2 pens that I adored. Fast forward to now, they're still expensive. But in a twist of irony, they now come with G-2 refills. For these pens, you get a random color. I've got silver. You may get a different one. Fit and finish is admittedly good. It's thicker than G-2 and takes some getting used to, but it's actually not as thick as I remember. But it being a silicone gel... lint and dirt magnet, the grip is. I'd be lying if it's not a pain to keep it clean. But it's surprisingly well-built and is comfortable to boot. The fact that it expresses none of the plastic rattles that my G-2 shows whenever I write is a big plus. Despite that, I don't expect this pen to last that long--despite the refills and despite the price and build quality. Rubber grips do not age well. I've just gotten this pen and run it through the paces for a week or two so ultimately time will tell, but to be honest, I'm not having high hopes for it if I decide to make it a main pen for my writing sessions. I'll update it on its longevity later on.

I read the reviews on this site.. people leaving poor reviews because of the cost. First, should be product reviews, not issues with price shipping,packaging etc With that said, the price here was far less than any others , ebay, office depot, target etc. If you don't mind getting a random color. So on to the product review, I am a penaholic. I love all Pilot pens. The good thing about the Dr Grip is that you can use any G2 refills from fine point to bold and they come in a range if fun colors . All about mood and preferences. This pen offers a great grip to ease the bunion on your middle finger when writing. This pen came in fine point. I will use as is, but when it runs out, will refill with a thicker tip. I will buy another one to keep in my bag and this one will be for my office.

Loved using this pen. Only complaint runs out of ink rather quickly.

The pen I have in my hand has been with me since 2016. I like the way it feels in my hand with the gel grip and I also like the way it writes. It doesn't cost much for new cartridges and you have a selection of inks to choose from. The "fine" refills are more pointy and the lines are thin, the "bold" refills are more broad and stand out on the page. I've used both options over the years and prefer the bold over fine. I do a lot of writing and found that the fine tips would be susceptible to cause tears in the pages as I write. Not all the time but enough to make me want to not use them anymore. The only thing with the bold tips are that the ink can smear if you brush it with your hand while writing. I've never had any issues with the pen I've been using for 8 years now. No issues with the springs, barrel, none of that. We all have our favorite pens and this one is no exception. Once you figure out which ink best suites your writing style, you will feel the same way.

I hand write notes over 5-6 hours a day, 3 days (not for solid hours) a week and I couldn't do that without my Doctor Grip pens. I have arthritis in my hands and these are a true arthritis savior. They are a bit of an expense, initially, but then I order extra inserts and they are very reasonable. I use the pens for years until I lose them. The ink flows easily, the gel pad is incredibly comfortable between fingers. Enjoy yours....

I love these pens!

Writes smoothly, nice to hold. Love you can refill with different colours. I have three of them that I interchange colours with. Will buy more for sure.

Ok

Love the feel of the pen and how smooth it writes. The gel ink colors are very nice and look like the color in pictures. Would be nice if you could select the color of the pen. I have received 1 pink and the rest grey. Would be nice if I could select outside color of pen to be associated to specific colors of the nice selection of gel ink colors.

No te deja escojer el color. Pero esta marca es demuy buena calidad

I’ve always liked these pens. Only one I’ve used for work
