At 1.50 for ten, these disposable Bic Crystal pens are good quality, no clogging, last ages, and excellent value.
I like that this particular product shows on the front of the package how many pens of which colour you get. The packet is slightly too large for the product so the pens arrive bunched on top of each other. Flattten out the packet to see them all, if you’re checking the contents before opening it.
This review is for the Bic Crystal pens product which is 0.8mm nib for every pen. Quantity: 4 x blue, 2 x black, 2 x red, 2 x green.
I teach one class this year who are incapable of all arriving with a working pen at the same time. I bought these to lend out. They write well (so much so that I am happy to borrow my own pen!) but are good value so I don’t mind if the children end up keeping the pen. They come back the next week still using the same pen so they must like them too.
A Bic pen is one of my favourites, especially ORANGE classic & iconic. But they now come yellow/crystal body. I prefer the old iconic yellow body, top pen, instead of the new crystal bodied pen although nib remains as before, 0.08. This pack of 10 pens contains, 4 blue, 2 black, 2 green & 2 red and is excellent value for money. Easy & comfortable to hold with 0.8 nib, although I prefer a finer nib, say 0 5. The pen writes smoothly. Definitely worth the money.
I’ve loved this pens since I was in school, and for a few years, I couldn’t find them. Literally every shop had stopped selling them. Now I’ve got my big box for a decent price (they used to sell 4 in a pack for a stupid amount when they’re just PENS) and I love them. I think shops have restocked these now, but I have my own jumbo pack now
