THE WORST PEN ON THE MARKET

I normally buy Uni-Ball ... but decided to try these instead. I got the 12 pack and they are the worst pens I've ever used. They stop working within 2-3 days of start of use.
There is all kinds of ink ... they just freeze up. I'll be taking them back to Office Depot today and see if I can get a refund. The unfortunate thing is that I just threw the things out each and every time. INFURIATED !!!!! REAL TERRIBLE PRODUCT.
Let's see if they will honor a return with 5 pens left. If not I'll just drop them on the desk and walk out ... telling them I will never shop at Office Depot again.

Waste of Money

I bought these gel pens in both black and blue..............neither one works.
I have yet to get even one to work.....ink is splotchy, tips break, ink doesn't come out at all etc.
Sad workmanship

I like 'em!

I noticed the other negative comments. I can't say the same. I've had only 1 or 2 pens w/ the leakage problem and that was when i was using it...i noticed the ball wasn't rolling smothly while ewriting and it subsequently leaked. But I wouldn't say that it was a consistent problem. Co-workers love them too.
Apparently, the price went up so we won't be ordering the ultra fine points (.5mm)anymore, but im considering getting my own stash! We do still order the medium points .(7mm)

It's not a good deal unless it's a good product.

BAD DEAL
The first time I purchased these they worked fine, although if you do not retract them before you put them in a pen cup they will leak.
The second time I purchased these the pens would either write for a short time and then stop writing or would just not work from the get go.
For some reason the blue version is not as troublesome, though it will still leak when left unretracted in a cup.

terrible pens

ive used tul pens and pilot pens, both of them are gel pens just like these foray gel pens. Both of them are problem free, these foray gel pens are awful. Brand new pens leak ink then stop writing altogether. I bought a box of 12 and the first 2 i pulled out of the box leaked then stopped working. ill neverbuy them again. Stick to Tul pens and Pilots.

Awful Awful Awful

If I could have rated these a 0, I would have. In 4 weeks I have had to throw away 5 of these pens and clean everything on desk three times. They leak so bad and the ink gets on everything. Horrible.
