BAZIC 1.0mm Bold Point Retractable Ballpoint Pens - 144-Pack Multicolor Soft Grip Barrel Pens for Smooth Writing | Ideal for Teachers, Students, Office & School Supplies

I purchased this pack of pens actually to compare to the Bic 4 color pen that I have been using for years. I normally pay around 2.29 for the Bic and did not know there was another 4 color pen out there until I saw this while browsing on Amazon. I have been using these for about a month now, and can say it is a good pen and serves the purpose I wanted, and that is to keep up with my checkbook. I use the red ink for checking off everything that has cleared when I balance, and green for all deposits. The black and blue I use for writing checks, and recording entries. I also use the black when I notarize documents. On this pen I don't like the green ink as much as the Bic, it seems a little pale, other than that the other colors are fine. I really like the cushion grip, the BIC doesn't have that. I would like to find a source for RED ink pen refills in general as well as green, I can't seem to find any, only black & blue. It seems wasteful to throw away a pen and buy another just because you can't find a refill.Overall for the price I will probably buy these again, they are very economical and with a pack I can carry one, have one at work, and one at home.
