Parker(R) Refill, Ballpoint, Medium Point, 0.7 mm, Black Review

Parker(R) Refill, Ballpoint, Medium Point, 0.7 mm, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These refills are almost bulletproof. They write smooth and consistently even on the occasions when I've dropped the point on the concrete floor. This Refill does not lay down a bold line like the Gel Refills do but that also explains the reason why they last for months instead of weeks. I haven't done testing on how permanent the ink is but it doesn't run when exposed to moisture and it never smudges even though I am left handed.

Waterman Fountain Pen Cartridges Black-8/Cd Review

Waterman Fountain Pen Cartridges Black-8/Cd
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a medium-dark black ink. Its consistency is a bit thinner than Pelikan/Cross Black and Noodler's (also misspelled as Noodlers) Black. Waterman Black feels good during writing. It is not good for two-sided writing on bad paper. It is not very water-resistant, and it is not safe for writing checks or signing important documents.

Cross Classic Century, Lustrous Chrome, Ballpoint Pen (3502) Review

Cross Classic Century, Lustrous Chrome, Ballpoint Pen (3502)

Before you buy, be sure to check where the pen was made. I have a number of older Cross pens that say "USA" near the top, and they are great pens. However, I have bought three different ones in the past few years that do not indicate where they were made, and they are of inferior quality. The top and bottom halves are loose, and have to be carefully manipulated to come together without a gap. The first one I got, I sent it back to Cross for warranty repair under their "lifetime guarantee," only to receive it back unchanged telling me that it was just fine - and a "handling fee" attached.
I was willing to believe it was simply an anomaly, one bad pen. So later on when some new colors came out, I bought two more - only to see that they have the same quality defect.
My advice: if you want a good Cross pen, go to the secondhand store and buy one that was made in USA. They aren't making them the same anymore.

Pilot G2 Retractable Gel Ink Roller Ball Pen, Extra Fine Point, Clear Barrel, Black Ink, 12-Count (31002) Review

Pilot G2 Retractable Gel Ink Roller Ball Pen, Extra Fine Point, Clear Barrel, Black Ink, 12-Count (31002)
Average Reviews:

I am a connoisseur of sorts in stationery, and have been for as long as I can remember. I enjoy writing longhand for letters, notes, journal-keeping, etc., and I'm always on the lookout for a better pen -- ballpoint, rollerball, fountain...any will do.
Well, I discovered Pilot's Extra-Fine Gel-Ink pens about 3 or 4 years ago, and my search is over. I have tried other new and different pens since then, but I keep going back. Nothing compares, and nothing surpasses them, even expensive varieties.
These pens don't require a scribble to start the ink (or to restart it when you pause for a thought), they never skip, they never get ink globs around the point (a common pitfall for gel-ink pens, and fine-point pens in general), and they always write a smooth, clean line. I've even found they will write upside-down, like the Fisher Space Pen does, so they're also great when a wall is your only flat surface to jot a quick note!
Other available colors include purple and green, as well as standard black, blue, and red! These pens are refillable too, so they are ecological AND economical. I have also started using the G2 refills in my more expensive pen barrels whenever they fit, since the cartridges that came with those expensive pens are horrible.
The ONLY negative thing I can say is minor: the first time you use it, it may be a little scratchy until you wear the point to your angle of writing, but this "breaking in" is over quickly.
If you want a pen that makes handwriting a pleasure, this is the one for you!

Quartet 4-Function Executive Laser Pointer, Class 2, Projects 150 Yards, Silver Barrel (MP-2800Q) Review

I purchased this low-power laser pointer to use for playing with our cat - so as to not blind him. I wanted a pointer with easy to find batteries, and the description said it uses AAA batteries. It doesn't - it uses a stack of puny button batteries. It's not worth returning.

This pointer is otherwise ok if you want an anemic laser, and sometimes you do!
