Pilot FriXion Ball US Erasable Gel Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - 8 Color Set

The ultimate puzzle pals!

These caught my attention immediately when I first saw them on a store rack. I couldn't resist. As it turns out, this was one impulse purchase that totally payed off in spades. I could not be more impressed by these. Through the simple expedient of not actually coming off the paper but rather just turning clear through friction, these pens have all the benefits of a gel ink pen while also being, by far, the greatest "erasable ink" pens I've ever used, the ink "disappearing" completely. Their design is absolutely genius, and they work far better than I would have even imagined.

As an avid puzzle solver, the ideal erasable ink pen had been an elusive Holy Grail for decades: we needed something that writes boldly on shoddy paper, but can be erased completely and without smudging. We now have the nonpareil. Since the ink never actually comes up off the paper, there is no need whatsoever for the "eraser" to dig into the paper to try (and usually fail) to get the ink off. These are officially a game changer, and I recommend them without reservation.

these are the best pens i've ever used. they are cool for magic like freeze back and flame away. its cool that the eraser never goes away and i think they should make yellow and brown.

This item was OK. I bought it and the ink wasn't very lasting even when full and the eraser tended to smudge the paper. The ink is really bad quality as well. If you are a VERY neat hand writer then this would be for you. I have never had to try so hard with a pen.

I would give perfect score but I have an issue with these pens. Yes they write pretty well when new, (didn't know you could buy refills if I read correctly), and using frixion to erase comparing to older erasable ink pens that the eraser didn't last nowhere close as the pen did. But, this is my complaint. At the time, for some reason, I didn't like the eraser on the cap and I never really used it bc it wasn't great and I'd end up using them when I pencil eraser was no more, even after biting down on it squishing a little more out of it!lol

Ok, all this just to ask/say, Why put eraser on the cap??? Doesn't everybody take top off and place on back of pen? Habit and you don't lose that way! So an ok writing pen, GREAT concept for friction bc you don't run out of the eraser!!!! But if the eraser was on top cover so attaching on the other end and having eraser at ready would give this pen more!!!

I've been using gel ink pens for many years because they write so much better than ballpoints. So, when my son's teacher required them to use erasable pens last year as a 2nd grader, I thought he would like these erasable pens. They write so much better than the Paper Mate Erasable Pens. Only thing I don't like about them is that they run out so fast. But, I just buy a lot of the very inexpensive refills, so it's not as much of a problem. Be careful when you order the 3-pack. The picture and description on the website show it is supposed to come with 2 black pens and 1 red. Instead, I received 1 black, 1 blue, and 1 red. Unfortunately, my son can't use blue pens at school, so they would be a waste. I've notified JetPens to request replacements.
