Product reviews for EnerGel RTX Gel Pen, Retractable, Fine 0.5 mm Needle Tip, Blue Ink, Silver/Blue Barrel

I brought a bulk of 20 and is my seven pen break at same place.

When the pen works, it works great.  But I bought a pack of three for the 0.5 mm and all of them lost the ball at the tip long before they ran out of ink.  They were not dropped or had anything happen to them that would cause that.  Also, the pen itself is fragile and breaks if moderate pressure is applied to the plastic casing.  There are plenty of 0.5 mm pens out there and although I like the quick drying ink and the way it writes, unless I find out they fixed the problem, I won't be buying them again.

...but it's garbage. Lasted me about a month, then broke. The clip broke in two places, and the pen tip itself creeped back into the pen casing so far I couldn't write with it. I'd rather use a Fisher, but you can't find them anymore...
