I wasn't into ballpoints in forever but ma-mo caused me to rethink it. I have all the ones you showed and love them. In school 50 years ago the skilcraft was all I would write with. Great video. Thank you.

Bic Cristals and Jetstream are my go-to. Recently I’ve bought the Litetouch version and so far I’m liking it. Wish they made a 1.0 version though. Great video.

Greatest of All Time ballpoints: Bic Cristal, Bic Clic, Skilcraft retractable, and Parker Jotter. I could be perfectly happy using only one of those four for the rest of my life.

Even though I mainly use fountain pens, I do use ballpoints from time to time. My favorite ballpoint is Schneider Slider Rave XB.

Thanks for this video. I believe the Bic Cristal is the best overall ballpoint pen ever produced. Dependable, consistent, inexpensive and performs beautifully. For something a little higher end, the Parker Jotter is the one I love to have clipped to my shirt pocket. There are other good ones out these, but those two have been my standards for decades.

My favourite ballpoint from my youth is the Papermate Kilometrico - maybe they dont have them in America, because the whole schtick is that they can write a kilometre.
