They have a couple design flaws that driver me crazy! So I can't use them. Just the sight on one on a desk bothers me, and makes me question the judgement skills of the person using it.
First is the ink leaking past the seals. Most of the time it only makes it past a few of them, but on occasion, the ink will leak past all of them, and then you have ink on your fingers. Argh!!!
Second is the roller ball. The roller ball sometimes become dislodged from the tip on the pen, and go up inside. When it happens, they stop writing, and start digging into the paper. You end up with a splotch of ink on your paper. And the pen is trash. Sometimes it happens when the pen is still fairly new, and has a lot of ink left.
Edit: Oops! It is the Uniball, of the same design, that I had so bad of experience with. I've never used the Sharpie of this design.
Is it the uniball Precise v5/7 you're talking about? I have one a v5 right now and while I like how thin the ink line is, the ball doesn't roll very smooth. But like you said, the seals are falling and the ink is about to leak out of one of them.
The Pilot G2 rolls smooth but there's a noticeable difference of ink deposited in the middle of the ball vs the edge of the ball.
The uniball vision and vision elite rolls smooth but they like to deposit more ink than needed at the end of the stroke.
I have heard when used, these are the most difficult for a crook to alter the figures on your check and highly recommended if you send checks in the mail.
I've been using Jotters since 1963.For an inexpensive pen, I like Parker Jotters.
My go to pen was always the Zebra G-301 Super Fine was great for writing in small spaces of multi-page contracts. Used them for gosh like forever.
