Pens, pens, and more pens. And yes, I literally have boxes full in my house.
I am a major fan of “generic” brands, in pens, as well as a multitude of items in general. So in this post, I introduce to you Office Max’s upscale brand, Tul pens, pictured below.
Here’s a summary of what I like about Tul pens:
- In this day of 1.0 + mm tips, Tuls come in .7 mm (medium, as shown), and .5 (fine point).
- These pens come in both stick and retractable models.
- The barrel is thin, as opposed to the general trend of tick, cigar-like barrels. I personally like the graceful feel of these thinner shafts.
- The pen tip sticks out a good way from the tip housing. This is a critical factor for me in evaluating a pen because it gives me a greater feels for and sense of control when writing.
- For a narrow width, these pens are surprisingly smooth in putting their ink on the paper.
- They come in a variety of ink colors including green, red, purple (my personal favorite), blue and black.
- They look classy.
Overall rating out of 10? I give these guys a 7.
