BIC CRISTALReNew Re-Fillable Pen and 2 Refills, Black Single Pack,501036

I really like the feel of a metal pen versus plastic and discovering that bic finally made a metal version of their classic pen made me happier than it should have.

GREAT WRITING PENS. LOVE THE COLOR,AND THEY DONT SMEAR OR LEAK

Fells just like a normal cristal in size and since is Aluminum is not that heave, i wish the cap was Aluminum too but is plastic, came with 2 Refills i think the tip don't seal but is something i can live with.Is you like the classic cristal this is for you

I love Bic pens. Then again I Love all kinds of pens. This one is really good. It’s a metal version of the classic “Cristal” pen. Really a very nice pen. The cap is plastic though. Probably a safety feature in case it gets stuck in your throat. If you’re looking for refills, just buy some of the plastic Cristal pens and use the ink refill. Also, there is a small button on the side of the pen that you can use to remove the ink refill. Really a great pen!

Thought this may be cool, it’s not lol. The cap is plastic giving it a cheap feel. The body is aluminum and the pen itself has an ejection button for the ink cart. Problem is, my ink cart falls out sometimes without being triggered. It works just like every Bic Crystal ever, maybe a little dryer than usual. Difference is it looks like it’s been spray painted silver

They market this like regular Cristal pens aren't refillable, but it's trivial to pull the refill out of a Bic Round Stic or another Bic Cristal, so I don't know what that's about. That said, this metal body is a little heavier than a Cristal and kind of a treat to write with. The mechanism to push the refill out is totally unnecessary, but it works fine and, perhaps, some people will find it easier to use it than not to. The pen comes loaded with a medium black refill and the box contains two more medium black refills. The refills are available for purchase, but we've all got plenty of Bic pens floating around the house. Just take the refill from one of those when you need to feed this metal Cristal.Around here, you can get 10 Bic pens for $1 when the kids go back to school. The rest of the year it's maybe $3 for a pack of 8 or 10. Either way, it's way cheaper to buy a pack of donor pens to get the refills from than it is to order the refills directly. And you can choose your tip and ink color if you buy a pack of pens. If you want to order refills, all I can find are medium black. A shame, really.Anyways, this metal Cristal is a nice pen to use for when you want something just a little heavier than a regular Cristal. If you like Bic Cristal pens, then you'll probably like this as well.

Great and good for the environment

A nice step up from the plastic version. Better for our environment and will get more satisfaction using this version. I do recommend
