Customer Reviews

I agree with other reviews: writes really well, awesome erasing ability, light color ink. Absolutely no clumping. The only thing I find unfortunate is that the eraser is on the end of the pen, not on the cap. So when I go to erase, I need to remove the cap, erase, and then recap. Otherwise, excellent pens.

I am a big fan of FriXion series, yet in my own opinion, having 0.4mm nibs is not a very valuable advantage in the U.S. Many Japanese people write between 6mm line on their notebooks, while Americans do not. The market for 0.7mm probably is larger.

I'd highly recommend these pens, mainly to students. The ink flows very well, and there are never clumps while writing. Contrary to other erasable pens, the friction eraser works better on ink than rubber erasers on pencil! The only disappointment is the fact that the eraser is on the bottom of the pen rather than the top, so putting your cap on the eraser will be a habit...

I love these pens! They have an extra fine tip and erase cleanly. When they're back in stock, I will defiantly purchase them again! ^^!

I absolutely love these pens! I like how the colours are a little dull, I tend to gravitate toward less "in your face" inks. The end of the cap works just as well as the rubber eraser, for those who like to put the cap on the back. AN ABSOLUTE MUST!!!!!

These pens are amazing!! They erase so cleanly and there is plenty of ink! I love them!

These pens are all you could wish for in terms of ergonomic and artistic appeal.

In addition to being a pleasure to write with, they are fully erasable.

But these pens are not all-purpose. They are ideal for drafting, marking/highlighting text, writing notes and completing word games. They are not meant to be used as Sharpies or other brands of highlighter.

awesome pens! they erase better than pencils! the only thing is that the colors aren't vibrant as they are on the outsides of the pens but they're still nice colors! They are the best erasable pens i've ever used!

Erase PERFECTLY!!!

The color is a little lighter than on the outside. The erase even better than pencils! They don't leave a trace that a pen has ever written there.

AVOID if you like deep, rich colors. These are lightest, softest; nothing to do with the misleading outside. The "Pencil-Like 0.7" are both better and cheaper!!!

These pens are the absolute best out there for students. So much so that I refuse to share them :-)
They write in a precise, smooth flow and the color is soft on the pastels and bold on the deeper hues.

If you do write a lot daily (10-20 pages) you may wish to order more then one. I have them in every color and the only problem I ever find with these pens is that they sell out so quickly. So I have learned to buy them in pairs when I place my monthly order.

This is the best pen in the whole world, absolutely and without question.

Okay, maybe I'm biased. I like (very) fine-point gel pens. Purple ink makes me smile. Also, I make a lot of msitakse when I write. My potential list of favorite pens is thus a little limited. But here it is: the most wonderful pen there ever was, for now. (I'm still holding out for a 0.3 mm point.)

The ink color is good--a little more purple than violet--and the 0.4 mm designation seems about right. The thoroughness of erasure depends on the paper you're using, with results ranging from acceptable (slight shadowing) to flawless. It's amazing to erase without tearing up the paper and producing "crumbs." I still feel a compulsion to brush away the imaginary erasure dust, though.

A minor nit to pick: the erasing surface is positioned on the body of the pen, so if you like to write with the cap stuck on the end of the pen, where it won't accidentally slide off the table onto the floor into the cat's paws and under the refrigerator.... What I'm getting at is that you can't erase unless you leave the cap off, a situation fraught with peril. The surface also needs to be kept clean (not usually a problem), or you'll leave permanent smudges on the paper.

The point has held up well for me. I apply medium pressure but am clumsy and have been known to damage my writing implements in imaginative ways. So I did manage to bend the point sleeve (?) once. But I nudged it back into position and haven't had any problems. I haven't experienced any detectable change in the ink width over time, and I've put a LOT of miles on these pens. In fact, I rarely use anything else in my collection of 32,641 fine-point gel ink pens. I'm afraid I'll make a mstiktae, so I reach for the comfort and safety of my beautiful Pilot FriXion.

Buy one. Buy a case. Give them to friends and family. They will love you and forget all of your shortcomings. You will finally be happy, and the world will be a better place.

Also, these are nice pens.

Writes great. Just like the pencil like Frixion pens with a finer point. Erases great. Ink is the same color as the tea brown^.

I didn't expect too much after using the 0.7mm version of this I picked up from the store, but I was pleasantly surprised. Although the ink does, admittedly, look a little faded and lacking in depth compared to other gel ink pens, the tip is fine and points down a very nice line regardless. It's small, lightweight and comfortable to hold, such that I do not find myself getting sore, tired hands after writing with it for long periods of time. All in all, a solid purchase definitely worth the $3 I paid for it.

These are perfect. They write pretty dark(not as dark as a normal gel ink pen, but still very clear and dark). I love that they write pretty thinly, but not too thin. Erasing is absolutely AMAZING; they erase COMPLETELY and leave NO residue.

This is a nice pen to write with and erases very well. It looks great on white paper, but the color is little lighter than I would prefer, definitely not a true brown.

Nice neutral color, erases very well, feels comfortable, point holding up after one year. It remains one of my just-grab pens for those rare occasions when I don't feel like obsessing at great length over the color.

I LOVE THE WAY THIS PEN WRITES.

- Smooth, fine .4mm point
--_ Writes like a dream [+]

- The ink erases via... friction
--_ Erases very well, as well a regular #2 mark is erased [+]

- Stylish black plastic body
--_ Need there anything else be said aside from the pictures? [+]

- Black Ink
--_ It isn't as dark as regular black gel ink pens, but that really shouldn't matter too much [=]

I really like these pens. They work great, are neater and easier to see than a pencil, and erase almost flawlessly. To answer a previous question, I have never had the eraser part wear down - but a regular erase will work if you need it to.

I don't understand why the pen is potentially refillable(the cartridge does unscrew from the body), yet refills aren't sold on Jet-pens. It boggles the mind.

Amazing product. I use it for school all the time. The color pops out from my black and white pages of notes, and the lack of eraser shavings is a bonus. Fun to write with.

I agree with the other review. I would like to see the eraser on the end of the cap and it would be great if the pen would be refillable. Over $3 for a throwaway is kind of expensive. I do love the pen, however, and especially the erasability.

the pen is as well as Pilot produces. but the color is not beautiful as I thought. It's kind of deep purple~

Pros: the color is great, and it erases easily and completely.

Cons: the eraser is on the end of the pen instead of on the cap, and it's a little scratchy to write with (not good at all for cursive writing, but ok for printing)
