pen 132: tul gel-gl3

the tul gel-gl3 is another fine example of the quality of product that tul produces.

the overall design is very sleek, it's a good looking, black, thin, ballpoint gel pen with a retractable tip. the pen is made of a single plastic body with a metal tip cap, has a metal clip and a rubberized grip that spans half the length of its body.

the gl3's ink is dark, there really isn't any range of value, all or nothing, has a good flow that doesn't skip or stutter, has a good bite, dries almost instantly and is a very clean pen to use. as a person that is not the greatest fan of gel ink pen i would recommend any of the tul product line to like minded individuals, i am fairly confident that, even if they don't fall head over heals for the pen, they probably won't hate it either.
