These 0.4 mm pens feature water-based ink in vibrant colors, formulated to sustain a long cap-off time. The pen tip is encased in metal to extend the pen's life and make it suitable for use with rulers and stencils. The unmistakable hexagonal striped design features a ventilated cap. Available in 25 different colors.The Stabilo Point 88 Fineliner 0.4 mm marker pen is a thin, long pen that has a similar orange-yellow body like that of a classic wooden pencil. It is hexagonal with white lines to define the edges, and an ink colour-matched end plug and cap.
The pen does post and even though it's long, posting hardly makes it feel much longer because the cap is so tiny. The posting is snug and very satisfying. The pen does not have a clip or grip but it's very light so it doesn't really need a squishy grip to make writing comfortable.

The only downsides are that the body is plastic and it's too bad they're not made of recycled plastic, especially because they are not refillable. Sigh. You win some, you lose some, right?
Price
JetPens - $ 0.80
Overall
At only $ 0.80, I absolutely must recommend the Stabilo Point 88 Fineliner to you. It's very easy to use, comfy to write with, and is available in so many great colours that you'd be crazy not to buy them all. Seriously. All 25 of them. Do it. Now.

I have always love these pens. They have a green that's pretty much the only green ink I use. It's just that magical. I also love the way the pens feel in my had. Normally, I prefer a more substantial barrier, but these make my hands look somewhat elegant. Great post!
Colors?? I love pens that come in pretty colors, and especially inexpensive ones. My JetPens wish list in a mile long.
Really liking the pen's design as well! Stands out when placed next to your other pens!
LOL! You didn't have to rush and do this review! Haha, but I still love those pens!
Hehe it was actually done already! I just kept forgetting it was done so I never put it up!
It's really nice! Bright and cheery!
COLORS!! And so affordable!
I neeeeeed more! ... Well, maybe not "need" ... I am with you on that one - usually I prefer more substantial barrels but something about these are just so loveable!
but if you buy all 25, its no longer 0.80$... :)
and sadly i agree with the stablio love... the only thing is i dont like the fatty tipped ones i have.. hmm maybe i'll have to pick one of these up and compare...
Dang. Must be because they come in that roll up case or something.
hmmm comparison between staedler and stablio?
Great pens! Cheap, colorful and very smooth. Nearly every color looks great! For the given price, I do not think you can go wrong with these things :)
