Tul pen review

[denmarks]

I have gone through many gel pens from cheap to expensive. Many of the highly rated ones will still skip on some papers. On a visit to Office Depot I found Tul pens. I purchased the needle point medium gel. It works better than every pen I have ever had. The ink always flows with no skips. What is your opinion?

My opinion is that it’s not a fountain pen and therefore (for me) not usable. I only use fountain pens.

And that's why this post is in It Writes But It Is Not A Fountain Pen.

I love the TUL pens because they are BROAD!!!  However, I've had trouble with them breaking on me. Nevertheless, I do acquire them.

I’ve thought about getting some, but have not yet. I’ve gone down the customizable multi pen hole (Uni Style Fit, Pilot Coleto, Pentel i+ and Zebra Prefill and now Sarasa Select).
 

For awhile, I’d only buy fountain pens. I lost out on the Retro 51 Lift Off rollerball because of that.  At least I got the Retro 51 Space Race pens to make up for that.

I admit that my Sherpa and I have a lot of fun.

A Tül gel or rollerball pen, a grey/black unassuming number, found its way into the pen pot on my office desk and I enjoyed using it so much (more than a variety of pens I've had in mystery box subscriptions, for example) that when it was empty I purchased refills. My only complaint is that the rubbery grip has swelled up and is always moving up and down.  Maybe I should stop being a cheapskate and go buy a new one...  Definitely good value for money on those days when you reach for something other than a fountain pen.

I have used Tul gel pens, the refillable click pens (in case there are others), a fair amount, and have been pleased with the way they write. But for some reason I am rather hard on clips, and their clips don't hold up to very much abuse at all. So I don't buy them any more.

It isn’t a Tul (yet), but when I saw emails about this rollerball pen, I had to get it.

@Misfit  Very cool.

Thanks @amberleadavis there was no way I would not order that pen. There is another one with Love stamps.

I really love the guy carrying the pen.

It’s a great brick and mortar store. I wish it were located in KC.  I have to content myself with shopping online with them.
