## Description

Enjoy your daily writing experience with JETSTREAM RT Retractable Ballpoint Pens from uniball featuring a 1.0mm medium point. Rated the best pen for everyday writing, these pens contain unique hybrid ink that delivers the smoothness and vibrant color of a gel pen with the quick-drying properties of a traditional ballpoint. Medium ballpoint JETSTREAM RT pens dry as quickly as you write, which prevents smudging and smearing to produce neat-looking documents. uni Super Ink technology settles ink particles deep into the paper for protection against water, fading and fraud. The 1.0mm pens with contemporary stainless steel accents give your writing outstanding clarity while the embossed grip helps maintain precision and control. The medium point delivers strong, bold lines, giving your documents and signatures excellent readability.

Review: Best pen ever - I rage-bought a box of these after being on a phone call, unable to find a pen, lol. These are my fave and I've bought many boxes over the years. Comfortable in the hand, the silicone-like coating offers a good grip, and the barrel is the perfect size and thickness for average size hands. No skips or blobs of ink. They come in blue and black ink, and fine or medium point. I like them all. Some fine point pens feel scratchy; these always have a smooth writing quality. I think I read on Wirecutter that these are also Ralph Nader's favorite pen, and he's picky to the point of obsession. Maybe I am too, since I scoff at other pens.
Review: This pen will improve your handwriting and make you look better - It will improve your hand writing. This pen roll smoother than other pens. The ink dries quickly so no smudges. Everyone who has borrowed my pens ove the years have been impressed. More than five years ago I did a search on the top ballpoint pens. This was on the list as one of the best. I agree, I purchased three or four of the top performers and this was the leader. A really good combo is a quality notebook like moleskin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pen
*by K***T on May 8, 2026*

Love this pen! Smooth uniball Jet Stream RT. It doesnt clot or clump. Ink lasts a super long time & uses every last drop of ink. I feel like im getting my money's worth. I've been using uniball vision elite & uniball signo impact 207. This is my new favorite now because each pen lasts so much longer than the others. I wish it wasnt so hard to get black but blue is fine fir daily usage.
