Top 7 Most Versatile Pens
If you are into pens - and who isn’t really - you have your favorite pen to use in a particular writing situation. Engineers tend to prefer fine and extra fine point sizes for precise lines. Those who work in the financial world like pens that contain inks that dry fast and are tamper resistant. However, if you had to pick just one pen to carry you through your day what would it be? The list below takes a look at our most versatile pens that you can use in a variety of situations.
The Uni-ball Signo 207 Ultramicro Gel Ink pen screams versatility on several fronts. First, the pen is retractable so it easily goes with you anywhere without having to keep track of the cap. The hybrid Gel Ink rolls on smooth but is also waterproof and resists washing so it’s great to prevent check fraud. The .4mm point is thin so you can use it in everyday writing and precise writing situations. Finally, the grip is super comfortable so you can use it for extended periods of time without fatigue.
The Pentel EnerGel Pearl Retractable Liquid Gel Pen has a smooth gel-based ink that dries fast so it’s perfect for both lefties and righties. The needle point .5mm tip is thin enough for precise writing but still works well for everyday writing. The grip is latex free which will add hours of comfortable writing.
The humble BIC Classic Cristal Ballpoint Pen is timeless and has many features that add versatility to this list. The Tungsten Carbide ballpoint is tough and can stand up to a lot of abuse and continue to perform. The oil-based ink is smooth going on and dries quickly to a permanent and water-resistant finish. The hex barrel shape makes it easy to place on slanted surfaces without fear of the pen rolling off the surface.
The Uni-Ball Vision Elite Rollerball Pen makes the list of most versatile pens for one primary reason; it will not leak while traveling in an airplane because of a change in cabin pressure. Bonus points for the very consistent ink flow to the page and that it’s also water resistant. The .08mm point size makes it great for just about any writing application.
The Markliter Ball Pen and Highlighter is so very versatile because it does two things very well. First, at one end it’s a fine point ballpoint pen. Second, at the other end, it has a Soptlighter highlighter with a chisel tip so it’s two, two, two pens in one.
Pilots Acroball Pro Hybrid Ink Ballpoint Pen improves upon the ballpoint pen with its hybrid ink that rolls on smoothly like the best gel inks but dries fast like traditional ballpoint inks. It is also retractable and has a tough tungsten carbide tip that will not deform over time. The 1mm point size works in just about all writing situations except where fine technical lines are needed.
Zebra Pen Sarasa Gel Retractable Pen is a retractable pen that uses Zebras Rapid Dry Ink system so the ink dries in less than a second after you put pen to paper so it’s great in a wide range of writing situations. Rapid drying also makes it a great choice regardless if you write left or right handed. The pen is also refillable for even more versatility.
