I cannot believe I'm actually writing a review for a pen. However, if ever a pen deserved it's very own online review, it's most certainly the UB157.I typically only write when I'm studying, to help me absorb the information I'm reading, I'll often have to put it to paper myself, to put the information into a method I can absorb easier, should I ever need to re-read it. This often results in me filling up whole notepads with nonsensical ramblings as I try and make sense of the information. The UB157 is definitely my pen of choice, it has a good weight behind it, and is the right size - so even on my most studious of days, I can write a tonne of pages and not have my hand cramp up,

Firstly I have to say that these did not arrive in a blister pack as advertised BUT that is no problem at all to me. They were securely wrapped in a plastic bag and sent in a postal bag. All pens arrived safely and in good time.I absolutely love these pens. I first started using them when I did my degree in 1997 (I went back as a mature student and mom of 2 boys). Since then I haven't used any other type of pen! I started using the 157's, but now I have the 150's too. The pen is comfortable to write with and the ink flows smoothly and controlled. I love writing with these! These days I write in a journal, plus my Filofax. To tell the truth even though I have both types of pen,

I use these all the time, some colleagues at work are proud to unveil their Mount Blank pens from their hand crafted leather pouches, painstakingly unscrew the cap and put pen to paper. Me, well I prefer the simplicity and efficiency of these pens. They seem to last for ages and provide the perfect conduit for my written notes.The only small and almost insignificant issue is that of spelling. I have used various roller ball type writing instruments in my time including the traditional Biro, but I do find the the spell-check on these pens is not that intuitive. I do not seem to see the red squiggly line appearing if I clearly misspell a word or repeat a word by mistake. I also have problems with the font,

The only pens I like to use. Why? Because the flow is consistent, I can cross my T's dot my I's without a problem, instead of shaking the pen up and down or rubbing the pen to get the ink to flow like normal biro pens. I don't have to shake, or rub this pen for it to work, just pop off the lid and start writing. Most pens that I've used before, especially biros and pens that take ink cartridges have dried up inside the pen, that doesn't happen to this uni-ball pen, that doesn't happen to any uni-ball pen that I've used with the same consistency. I've been using this brand since primary school - that was over 10 years ago, I'm not in higher ed. They never let me down. Please don't discontinue this range!

I've used these pens now for years, I have a nice Parker pen that's been gathering dust because these are just perfect. Lovely vibrant ink that really stands out, is very permanent on paper and the pens last a long time (a year in my hands in regular usage).I'm a leftie, so ink pens have always been the bane of my life, however the ink on these pens dries very quickly and doesn't smudge so they're absolutely perfect to get that high quality ink look and feel (biros just feel cheap especially on important documents) at a very good price. As soon as this pack runs out I will instantly buy another and will continue to use these pens until they stop producing them.

I really like these pens and I can quite easily say that they are the best liquid ink pens and I've tried all of the popular brands. These ones seem to have a consistent ink flow and rarely go wrong. They last a long time and are relatively inexpensive for what they are. They are very comfortable to grip and I have no problem writing with them for long periods. I prefer these slightly over the similar Pilot V-ball pens, which sometimes stop working, have a much less consistent ink flow and last less time. These pens are great and you can get them in several different colours for various uses.

i have been using these pens since i was a child, 15 years on - they still make them just as good. the design of the pen ie. look, has been redesigned a few times but it's still fabulous. it writes well and never gets stuck. i only use these pens. now, all grown up my job and studies require me to work in design with flawless sketches. they're not so great if you are writing on thin pieces of paper as it's an ink based pens; but i use them on a sketch pad, drawing paper or on my moleskin to jot ideas down. i love them! :)

I love these pens, which flow beautifully smoothly and have a strong, glossy colour. They last for a long time, even if, like me, you write reams every day. One does have to remember to give the ink a moment or so to dry, or it will smudge, but for me this is worthwhile in order to get the handwriting control they provide. I am left-handed and find it difficult to write smoothly or neatly and these pens definitely help.This is an excellent price, too, especially if you add them to another order and get free postage.

These are my favourite kind of pen and this pack is really great value. They write smoothly with a good flow of ink, last for ages and never been known to leak in many years of using them. I can even sketch with them, although they're not really meant for that and the ink does run a little if used with a watercolour wash. But they are smooth and flowing enough to do fun line drawings and doodles.For me they allow to write freely and with flourish like with a fountain pen but more practical and a lot less messy.

These are great pens! I've been using these pens for a long time and they are just perfect. They have never leaked and the nib is very smooth. I got the black ink version and the ink is a nice deep black - great for writing or drawing. The ink is also waterproof so can be used with confidence for example for addresses and will not wash off in the rain! I previously used the UB150 which have a finer nib but I found that size a bit scratchy on some papers. These are also great value for this multipack. Recommended.

I'm not a great fan of disposable pens—they contribute to environmental waste. However, I've been using these for years, as they last, seemingly, forever. We have one in the kitchen used for shopping lists, memos to the cat, etc., and it's just about finished after five years of constant use. They do tend to get 'borrowed' often, but it doesn't matter too much, as they are a really good value product. They write well, the ink is fairly smudge-proof, but it does take a fair while to dry on modern 'optik' papers.

I’ve been using this design for many years, and have been immensely happy with it. For some reason I can no longer find this product on the high-street without being committed to buying a set with mixed coloured inks, or being faced with a shade of red that is undesirable for the style of work I do. In desperation I have resorted to a bulk buy of what I like to use, knowing that the ink is most unlikely to give up on me during the life of the pack.

Excellent pen with a premier nib. Good for writing in exams (even as someone who has the misfortune of being left handed). Strong line and easy to write with. Only problem is that it can be uncomfortable to hold after long periods. Which is not ideal. Additionally it is impossible to swap out the ink after the contents have ran out however this is not a problem as the pens do last for long periods of time with heavy use. Good Product.

I bought 5 black pens and was surprised to receive it without packing... Still it looks new and unused so I won't moan too much. Pens themselves are really good. Maybe the best pens I ever had. My handwriting is quite horrible but these pens make it more legible and neat. I get pain in my hands from prolonged writing but with these pens writing is very smooth and easy on my hands. I am sold. Highly recommended.
