Okay, let me rave about these Pilot Better Retractable pens because they’ve honestly become my daily drivers. First off, the 0.7mm fine point? *Chef’s kiss.* It’s perfect for my tiny handwriting and doesn’t bleed through paper like some gel pens do.

The grip is comfy—no death-gripping needed—and the stainless steel tip feels sturdy. But PSA: if you drop it (and it WILL somehow leap off your desk), kiss smooth writing goodbye. Treat it like a fragile ego.

Pro tip: When you get them, give each pen a quick half-turn to tighten the tip. Weird quirk, but zero issues after that. Also, lefties beware—minor ink smudges happen (blame physics), but hand sanitizer fixes it fast.

10/10 would hoard these again. My coworker already stole half my box. Savage.
