Pentel… Don’t Leave Home Without Them!

     Thank you Shoplet.com!!!  Pens are one of my FAVORITE things to review. I think I could almost be classified as a hoarder of pens!!!

     Today I am reviewing three Pentel Products:

• Pentel Vicuna Retractable Ballpoint Pens
• Pentel EnerGel Alloy RT Retractable Liquid Gel Pen
• Pentel Twist-Erase III Mechanical Pencil

     First, let me tell you about the Retractable Ball Point Pens. They come in a package of 8 different colors. As a teacher, I am always looking for pens that my students will love to use. Of course those pens are usually the ones that are the most COLORFUL!! 

     I was excited to see that the ink didn’t smear when I rubbed my fingers across each of the lines! Whew! Because I really love these bright colors. Each of these retractable ballpoint pens has an oil-based ink with a 0.7 pen point size. I was expecting the ink to flow a bit more freely, but I have to admit I wrote all the colors of each pen the very first thing after opening the package. If you look closely at the words blue (both) of them, you will notice they look a bit strange. Almost like it stopped and started again. However, it doesn’t matter to me. I would definitely buy these pens!!

     Up next is the Pentel EnerGel Alloy RT Retractable Liquid Gel Pen. The barrel of the pen is aluminum and the color is a beautiful Aquamarine. It looks like a fancy pen, truly gorgeous! It has a 0.7 mm metal tip and it definitely writes smooth. In fact, I had a hard time keeping up with it!!! The ink just flowed!!!! And…wait for it…. It doesn’t smear either!!! 

Last up is the Pentel Twist-Erase III Mechanical Pencil. I have to admit that I am not a big user of mechanical pencils. I write very heavily so it always seemed like most of my time was spent getting more lead to come out. I reluctantly took it out of the package and began to write. If you look below you will see that I wrote so hard that I poked a hole in the paper (look at the word Wow!!) Guess what… it did NOT break. I’m totally impressed. This pencil apparently has a protective tip that is designed to stabilize the lead to reduce breakage. I just might have to rethink using mechanical pencils. This mechanical pencil also has a few other qualities that you might like:

• Latex-Free Grip
• Jumbo Twist-Up Eraser (refillable)
