Tul Pens: Office Max Brand

Filed under: Uncategorized — profmad72 @ 1:37 pm

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:

  1. In this day of 1.0 + mm tips, Tuls come in .7 mm (medium, as shown), and .5 (fine point).
  2. These pens come in both stick and retractable models.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. For a narrow width, these pens are surprisingly smooth in putting their ink on the paper.
  6. They come in a variety of ink colors including green, red, purple (my personal favorite), blue and black.
  7. They look classy.

Overall rating out of 10? I give these guys a 7.
