Pilot, Precise V7, Capped Liquid Ink Rolling Ball Pens, Fine Point 0.7 mm, Black, Pack of 4

They are brand new to me today; I'll give them 5 stars for now. - I've been using Precise V5 since I was a baby...no wait...maybe 10 years or 7. Love them, but failing eyesight needs wider ink so I'm trying 0.7s for the first time in my life. It's going to take time to adjust to seeing what I'm writing. I also just bought the never used Sharpie S-Gel 0.7. They're pretty close.Width: Precise V7: Very slightly narrowerWidth: Sharpie S-Gel V7: Very slightly widerDurability: Probably Sharpie S-Gel V7. Solid outer body.Durability: A negative for Precise V5 (I'm guessing V7 also): Burst open & leak when handles after flying high altitude.Flow from Start: Important bonus for Precise V7. A good start is critical in writing. No disruption, go.Flow from Start: Sharpie: Mine often lags in ink flow at start (dry ball?) ... Writing fiction I want to dive in, not take the stairs.Feel: For me Precise V7 puts the icing on the cake (no I wouldn't put that in my fictional work). It flows.Feel: The Sharpie S-Gel's V7 is a great pen, but ballpoint pens greatly interrupt and lag behind my mind.I give a decided preference to the Pilot V7. It starts flowing immediately and feels smooth and free as it goes along with my mind. However I've had several Pilot 0.5s start leaking from high altitude flying.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have been using this type of pen for many years and I love them. Not interested in any other pen on the market.

My absolute favorite pen! I don't know what these $100+ pens can offer that this thing can't. Exceedingly fine tip, thin form, has a clip, absolutely wonderful.

i love these pens. as close to an old fashioned fountain pen as you will get. i originally got the .5mm pen but that was too sharp. i opted for the .7mm size. they r great pens. jut dont put one in your pocket

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My favorite

Decent, not as good as the sharpie brand though

These Pilot Precise V7 pens are my go-to. The liquid ink flows super smooth, and the fine 0.7 mm tip writes clean and sharp without feeling scratchy. The black ink is really dark and consistent, which makes writing feel really satisfying.Only thing to keep in mind is that because it's liquid ink, it can bleed through or feather a little on cheaper paper. On good quality paper though, it looks perfect. The pens are comfortable to hold for long writing sessions and the cap feels secure. If you like smooth, clean writing and don’t mind using better paper, these are hard to beat.

There are absolutely my favorite pens and are the ones I always buy. I have used them for years to both write and draw. I bought these particular pens, along with a journal, as a gift for a friend, to encourage him to write every day. Being creative is always easier when you have the best materials on hand.
