Product Description
The long awaited retractable version of the popular Pilot FriXion line is here! Pen features the same beloved thermos-sensitive ink that can be erased by friction, but now comes in a sleek, retractable body. Just push the clip to extend and retract the tip. A subtle yellow color appears along the barrel side to show when the pen is extended. The special rubber tip at the end allows you to erase conveniently without having to cap or uncap your pen. The pen writes smoothly and erases without a trace! Refills available for select ink colors and point sizes only. Interestingly enough, the ink in these pens will actually reappear when the temperature reaches below - 10 C (under 14 Fahrenheit). A freezer is sufficiently cold enough to make the ink start to reappear. It is like a magic pen for adults! Because the ink in this pen is thermos sensitive, we do not advise for it to be left in hot cars, used for mailing, or subjected to a condition that exposes it to a lot of fruition.

These are nice and write well. It takes a bit of erasing to completely remove the ink, but the eraser is based on friction so there's no reside left behind. The lighter colors are quite light, but I still love the assortment.
The outside:
Their silhouette looks quite professional, and they don't appear in any way cheap. They have a comfortable grip that is easy to hold and write with. One feature that I liked in these pens was the fact that you could protract and retract the pens by pushing down on the clip, rather than the top of the pen, so that when you were erasing, the pen wouldn't be clicking.
The inside:
The ink inside of the pens is very vivid, lays down smoothly, shows up well, dries quickly, doesn't smear, doesn't bleed, and it's colors are easy to read. It's very easy to screw apart these pens and replace the ink cartridge with a refill once you run out of ink. The point size is perfect for writing in calendars, taking notes, or doing almost anything else.
The eraseability:
You can erase the line of these pens PERFECTLY! The harder or faster you rub (the more friction you create), the more cleanly it erases. This is always useful - you never know when or where you will make a mistake! Now you have the eraseability of a pencil, with the colors, smooth action, and feeling of a pen.
I would recommend for use at school, work, on calendars, and more. These are one of my go to pens.
PROS:
- Clean, professional look
- Comfortable grip
- Retracts using clip
- Vivid ink
- No smear or bleed
- Smooth, easy action
- Easy to refill
- Erases 100%
CONS:
- The black is a little washed out (I prefer the blue-black)
It sounds silly, but one thing to keep in mind is that the thermal properties that let you "erase" the ink apply all the time. The friction from the eraser causes heat that turns the ink invisible - and the heat from, say, a car parked in the sun will do the same thing to the ink on the page (even to the pen itself, if it's hot enough). You can make the ink visible again by getting it cold (stick it in the freezer), but it's a little faint. And the cold will bring back ALL of the ink, so if you erased and rewrote a lot, it'll be a mess. Because of the potential for environmental temperatures to alter the ink, I don't recommend these pens for any kind of keepsake, anything you want to be sure will last for a long time. But for daily use - taking notes, making grocery lists, etc. - they're fantastic!
UPDATE -- After buying 3 packs of these pens, I am disappointed that I got a couple that just never worked when I got them. Also, I have lost the use of 4 after dropping them with FULL INK - they just quit writing all together!!! :( At almost $20.00 per pack of pens, I would expect them to work & stay working....

Solo te me percaté de que no puedes dejarlos al sol por qué se termina la tinta ... y los papeles que escribes con ellos no los puedes dejar al sol por qué luego se borra
I debated between getting this set and getting a different, smaller color set but I'm glad I choose the more expansive one. I still keep them in their original clear case (which looks and feels really nice) and I love their ability to retract.
The first thing I did when I got these was scribble each color on paper and try out the erasers. The erasers work perfectly and don't smudge at all! (Just make sure not to accidentally hit any pen or pencil).
I've been using these for two months now and I'm still super happy. They help brighten up my notes and the ink is nice and shiny without bleeding through the paper. Best of all, they erase! So handy!!!
I don't use them very often so I can't say how long the ink will last before the run dry. That being said, they've been working great so far and I hope they last a while! :D
