Thirty click-type ballpoint pens with a 1.0 mm medium point. This is the plain workhorse of the pen shelf – oil-based black ink, a firm ball that copes with carbon forms and cheap paper, and a barrel light enough to keep a box of them by the counter.

What you get

• 30 retractable ballpoint pens
• Black ink throughout

Specifications

Ballpoint ink needs a moment on glossy or laminated surfaces and is not designed for them. The pens are not refillable at this price point.
