Staedtler 334-430 fineliner triplus, Triangular Shaft, in a Cardboard case, Metal-encased tip, Approximately 0.3 mm, 10 Pieces, Skin Colours

These were a present, they appear good quality and the ink is still going strong now!!

I have always bought stabilo fineliners. Hang on, lets rewrite the last sentence. We (meaning all my immediate family and friends) have always chosen to buy stabilo, time and time again. Why you might ask? Well...it turns out a certain supermarket is very good and luring you into buying them. Previously I had bought Staedtler fibre pens, so I thought why not give the fineliners a go! They are brilliant, these are very very fine compared to the stabilo pens-which makes them perfect for doodling intricate details. You can use them for notes, but the best usage I think is for illustrations. I wish there was an extended colour range. I would love to seen more shades of pinks and more green/blues!I allowed my class of 5/6 year old girls to use these pens, they held up very well to the pressure. They were all returned in usable order which I found quite amazing- I would say little children find them harder to use then say a felt tip, so I would not buy any fineliners for children- they tend to try to use the side of the nib.

I got the Johanna Basford set of 36 colours as this worked out the best value at the time of purchase. I'm currently colouring in Millie Marotta's Animal Kingdom which I love doing. Although I use both colouring pencils and pens, I prefer to use pens most of the time - I have some chunky ones from Crayola and some medium tip pens also from Staedtler (the other items I've got from them are also good quality) - so I wanted some fine tip pens to colour in the smaller parts. For this they do the job very well. If you were to use them for the whole page it would probably take quite some time and I don't think the results would be that great, so I'd recommend using these alongside some medium tip pens.Although I haven't use them for such these pens seem they would be good for writing or sketching.The range of colours (as you'd expect in a pack of 36) is great, nice and varied with strong colours - the only thing this set is missing is some metallics! Overall I'd recommend these fineliners.

I bought these for £11 in a lightening sale a few weeks ago and could not reccomend them more highly!They're a great selection of colours and they're fine quality pens that are comfortable to both colour and write with.From previous packs I know that they take a long time to run out and don't dry up without a fight like many other coloured pen brands. I've come to rely on them for sprucing up my university notes, exam notes and for colouring intricate adult colouring patterns.Their triangular barrel is very ergonomic as it puts very little stress on your hands/fingers (I have hypermobility so these joints often get very painful for me) and this is helped by the vivid colour of the ink as you don't need to put much pressure on the pens at all to get bright, bold colour every time.The pens are very versatile due to the 'superfine' nib and can be comfortably used for both writing notes, underlining, and for colouring in which means you can get a lot of use out of one pack and makes them incredibly handy to carry with you.

These are comfortable to hold and the range of colours is more than adequate for most purposes. Note though that the large set doesn't come in a neat plastic case like the smaller sets, just a rather flimsy cardboard box, so for younger children the smaller sets are probably a better idea unless you purchase a suitable pencil case or something to put them all into.Otherwise I really like these pens for technical drawing/drafting and general precision work, though obviously they're not suited for filling areas with colour or anything like that, due to the very fine tip.

Love these pens, I bought some in a supermarket - ten pack, very overpriced, but was desperate - in order to do some more mind maps and revision notes and for biology and phonology lectures (lots of diagrams involved!) and I fell in love with them... but ten was not enough, so I bought these.30 different colours - no doubles - and they are all very good, very visible even the paler colours. My notes are now colour coded in an extreme way, and they last for such a long time (have some sort of magical non drying out with the cap off thing) I have had the ten pack for a year of studying and they just started running out, so for my summer revision I bought the 30 pack and am hoping they will last until next summer.Yes, they are quite expensive for fineliners, but the many colours, and the comfortable grip of the triangular shaped pens, and longevity make them totally worth it!

I LOVE these pens. I am hard to impress when it comes to stationary, especially pens. But I brought these as an add on to a bigger order just to get the free postage. It turns out they are well worth the purchase and I will definitely be buying more. The triangular shape of the pen barrel sounds like it will be uncomfortable to hold but is actually really comfortable and relaxes your hand around the pen. The fine tips of these pens are only 0.3mm meaning they are suitable for writing very fine lines and in very small places, the colours are bright and intense making them perfect for colouring or drawing as well as journals or studying and pretty much anything else! I use them for my journal and memos and on a wide variety of paper types and as of yet I have not experienced any bleed through or smudging so they are very close to perfect. If they were a touch less scratchy when writing cursive quickly, i would say they were perfect. I can not recommend them highly enough.
