PILOT Dr. Grip Frosted Refillable & Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point, Purple Barrel, Black Ink, Single Pen (36250)

Love these pens. I find, as I'm getting older, regular width pens are very hard to hold/control. These are fabulous. They are wide and soft enough that I can hold them with ease in addition, the ball point writes very smoothly. Would definitely purchase again.

These are the only pens I can use that don’t hurt my hands. I have RA and this makes a big difference

I'm someone who gradually starts gripping my pens tighter and tighter as I write, so by the time I'm finished, I've got a death grip on them and my hand is cramping badly. I'm also someone who enjoys writing letters, so as you can imagine, that's not the best combination. I bought these pens to try to alleviate that problem in any way I can. I like that they are a thicker pen with a good cushion to them. The shape naturally helps you keep a better, lighter grip - and the cushion helps with comfort, too. I haven't gotten any blisters or callouses from using these. I can write for longer periods of time because my hand doesn't grow as tired as quickly. I've also found that it helps keep my handwriting from growing smaller and less legible...because usually the tighter my grip gets, the messier and more cramped my writing gets. All in all, these are a letter-writer's friend.

I have ordered these pens before and I loved them. However, this time around, They’re all defective. Two of them came w/ the ink cartridge on the outside. I can’t put the green one back together, the only one that had the cartridge on the inside of the pen, the top portion keeps spinning and is unstable. It seems like they were returned and sold again even though they were noticeably trash. They didn’t even come packaged the same. I literally can’t use even one of the pens.

I love the way this pen feels in my hand and the way it writes. I can't use any other pen now because it doesn't feel right. Trust me, it is worth the money!

The pics show the pen and the ink that was in it, I can't find it anywhere! I looked on the Pilot website nothing, I tried on here nothing! If you look closely you'll see it shows 2110 on the end it's not as long as you think it's a thicker barrel and tapers off at the end. It's just shorter than you think! Anyone have the same issue?I'm getting annoyed! I'm just ready to give up and get another type of ballpoint pen! I don't recommend this if you want to get like me annoyed looking for refills. No one gave me the right refill and I can't just afford to keep buying refills. I'll just get the center of gravity pens-gel ones and hope for the best! When I ordered this one I ended up with a two different ones. I love them, I just wanted the classic ones that I grew up with, my mom had one. I don't think anyone will have luck with refills with this one. I you want this one, good luck! Don't get me wrong it's nice pen but not worth the frustration and money to find the refills! Too bad because I like this one, I spent $9 on it too! Now I have one with no refills, so if anyone has any luck with it please let me know!Update 4/17/23I bought another one because it’s so nice and doesn’t smudge like gel pens. I looked everywhere for the purple ballpoint refills!I looked on the manufacturer website for refills and nothing. So if anyone finds the refills please let me know and share on your review please so I can find one for my pen, thanks!I attached the refill ID number located on my pics with this ballpoint pen-frosted purple one.No matter what everyone says the original is the ballpoint pen! The gel or any gel pens we all know came out later than ballpoint pens. So be aware of that difference when you buy these! I found that when I use the gel pens no matter what I get the ink ALL over my hands! When I bought one of these and I got both the ballpoint pen and the gel pen. I guess that happens and that’s fine with me. I at least I got to check it out before I buy one. I have many gel pens that I like better like the sharpie gel pens those are more reliable and worth the money.

The grip, the style, the colors of pens, the way I have better writing when I write with them!, they make me happy ☺️

Easy for stiff fingers to grasp, no smearing, ink flow is consistent excellent for quick date-dot labeling & letter writing. I have used these particular pens for a more than a few years for the consistent performance, refillable, medium point & clean appearance.
