uni-ball 2004052 Stick Gel Pen, Micro 0.38mm, Assorted Ink, Clear Barrel, 8/Set

I loved the .38 tip on these pens. They aren't for coloring but are great for letter writing, drawing detailed pictures and bullet journals. The colors are vibrant and the ink dries quickly (no smears)They are the high quality you would expect from Uniball.

The negative comments about these gel pens gave me pause to try this product. However, as a $5.50 add-on item, it was worth the gamble. I'm not an expert nor a pen collector. Just looking for ultra-fine tipped color gel pens to write with on occasion. These pens exceeded my expectation and met every criteria I had been looking for. The body of the pen feels nicely balanced with a significant feel in the hand. The tip is an extra extra fine point which writes well and smoothly and evenly. No scratchy feel. No ink trailing from one letter to the next. No blotching or clogging at the tip. The ink is pretty fast drying too. I like that, because smudging can be frustrating. This is a great brand and a great bargain.

This is one of the great buys for artists! I love how precise it works, and I even asked for someone to get these for me when I was outside of the country. Uniball never disappoints, if you are especially working very tiny and small, this is the perfect product. The colors are vivid but not so vivid that it hurts your eyes. I am an abstract artist and can honestly say that I have used this so many times. It is very similar to Sarasa Japanese pens, and I think you should get it if you are an illustrator, or fine artist who wants exactness in their making.

My real score would be a 3.5. I really like the color variety, the durability and the fact they're not click pens. However, the ink skips quite a bit. It's almost as if they weren't made for writing anything longer than a phrase or paragraph at a time. Do not use it you're planning to do journaling or serious notes, it's a bit frustrating how much it skips. They are really nice for notes on small spaces.

I do a lot of journaling, and these are absolutely my favorite pens. They’re very fine line and write in a Bible without bleeding onto the back of the page. I highly recommend them. This set in particular is wonderful because it has so many colors.

I ordered this pack specifically because it contained colors that I wanted, that were currently out of stock on UniBall’s website. Listed in the description (not just pictures in photos) were the Yellow and Violet colors, and neither were included. Instead there are: pink, red, orange, light green, dark green, dark blue, and two blue pens of which the ink looks very similar. Just disappointed that there wasn’t any disclaimer that there could be variations in the colors received, since I specifically ordered them because of the colors that were listed as included.

These are fantastic, very fine point for tiny details, the colors are really nice and never any splotches it skips. I want more colors! This is the best detail gel pen by far and it doesn't feel scratchy. I love anything uniball, they make really good pens. I have the thicker 153s in black white and blue and those are also outstanding, all of these are so much better than other brands I've purchased, a pleasure to use, really helps creativity when you don't dread using a tool but look forward to using it.

I am very disappointed by these pens! The ink is blotchy and nonexistent in other places. A few of the colors are so light they are barely legible. Don’t waste your money on these over priced pens!
