Pilot FriXion Ball US Erasable Gel Ink Pen - 0.7 mm - Black - Pack of 2

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.

I bought these pens in a North American drug store. I was excited to use them since they received such good reviews. However, I was disappointed. They dried much like a charcoal color not a nice black that pens such as the G-2 gel pens produce. I also noticed an inconsistency in the ink flow. Also, when I erased the paper turned out to be wrinkled creating an unattractive appearance. This was due to the amount of effort I had to use in order to get the pen completely off the paper. I regret purchasing these. But also, to readers, I am a pen snob. These are decent pens for those who are a little more flexible in quality. I would HIGHLY recommend the newer model of these that is available on the website C:

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!!!
