At work, Bic pens are the pens we use all the time. I have been using Bic Yellow barrel ball point pens for years and we have a supply of them downstairs in our kitchen 'making drawer', as my daughter fondly calls it. In this drawer there are a variety of other stationery items but you can be sure to always find a Bic yellow barrel ball point pen in amongst everything else. They are so reliable, they write well and the ink seems to go on and on forever. They are definitely a very reliable brand.
Looks wise, these pens do not look remarkable or out of the ordinary in any way at all. They have a yellow, hexagonal shaped barrel and due to its shape, it is easy and comfortable to grip onto when writing. The barrel is made from strong and durable plastic and personally speaking, the only times I have ever experienced one of these pens shattering into bits is when I have actually stepped right onto of one when it's been on an uncarpeted floor.
Each pen has a cap with a small bit of longer shaped pointed plastic which can be used to attach to notebooks, shirt pockets etc. These pens also come in a choice four colours, namely, red, black, blue or green. I always tend to use the black ones for some reason, as I think that black ink seems to stand out better on white paper.

The ink in these pens, as I say, seems to last for ages. They write fluidly and the ink flows really well and I have rarely experienced any leakage of blobbing as I have done with other varieties of ballpoint pens. I love the fact that thee pens also write so finely and I think they actually probably help to make my handwriting look slightly neater than it actually is.

I buy mine signally for about 55p each but they can also be bought in bulk for less money. Personally speaking, I only every buy one at a time, simply because they last me so long. They only times I ever really need to replace one of these pens is because I've lost or misplaced one.

They are great quality and I really recommend them.
