For and against
- Costs less than a bottle of ink
- Wide colour range, ink fully visible
- Writes far better than the price suggests
- No loss if one fails
- Plastic feel, thin section
- Nib consistency is a genuine lottery at this price
- Cap posting can crack the barrel over time
The default answer to 'cheapest pen worth owning'. Buy several; expect one to be a dud.
