Love these markers for precision and durability. Amazing product.

I run a group home for the elderly and disabled. I write down everything I do from the time that I wake to when I lay down to sleep. For the past year, I've used Pilot G2 Ultrafine 0.38mm pens and each one only lasts 30-50% of its ink before the tiny bearing in the ballpoint fails. I thought the first failure was a fluke, but three others have suffered the same fate. The G2 Ultrafine also didn't allow me to write clearly for the (sometimes) 16-hour days that need to be recorded in three lines of a pocket-sized schedule book. Most people say "Well, get a bigger book." That'd be great, but I need this item on me at all times and I require something that fits in cargo pants. I told my grandfather about these G2 pens breaking and he handed me his 6-pack of Sakura Micron art pens. Of course, I picked up the finest one and wrote a sentence at my normal size on a piece of scratch paper. Impressed by the clarity of the 005 0.2mm model, I wrote one more sentence beneath it that was 40% smaller. The sentence I wrote was "This is the real test." Sure enough, the writing was clear and legible. No one else in the room could read the writing, but he was glad that I was impressed. He offered that pen to me and I replied "I wouldn't want to break up the set." I pulled up the Amazon app on my phone immediately and ordered this 4-pack of the 005 Micron pens. I've been loving them ever since. Some tips for longevity of these pens: 1. Do not store them upright with the tip up. The ink will run away from the tip and it'll take time to run back when used. I store mine on its side or tip down. 2. The tip for these pens is very small and fragile. Write gently with it. Applying extra force is not needed. I write delicate enough to mark on a butterfly's wing without hurting it. Even still, it writes bold and clear.

Japanische Spitzenqualität. Genial wie immer!

I live for small tip pens! My favorite pen went permanently out of stock and after searching I found this, my new favorite pen. The ink doesn’t run, the writing is smooth, and I’ve had zero issues with drying out. I’ve even written on walls with this pen and worked perfectly! I now keep one on my person and stashed in every backpack and notebook in the house.
