WARNING: They Leak!
If you store them on their side they work fine. BUT... if you store them vertically they will leak over everything. Not worth the purchase.

Love these pens!
I use these red pens at work all day, every day. They write so smoothly.

Don't expect much.
These pens are not good at all. Skips a lot. I often have to go back over letters, especially round letters. Also, the ink is so much lighter than I like my red pens to be. None of the office staff liked them either. We stopped using them.

Important: Writes in Red
These are not the best writing pens ever, but they'll do.

Satisfied with all items; however, the first two BIC Velocity Retractable Gel-In Roller Pens has bled when used.

Smooth writing
These write nice and smooth - everyone here seems to like them which is why we continue to buy them. We have on occasion gotten a few that break while writing, but it's not all that common.

I would purchase again.
I have bought these pens in blue in the past, and will purchase both the blue and red in the future.
