good ink pens

What brand of ink pen do you use? I used to really like papermate. But lately their quality has gone downhill. I've thrown away some recently because they leak ink. That used to happen only if I carried them in my pants pocket where they got too warm. Now it's happening if I carry them in my smock pocket or maybe even on the tx cart. Black ink is used where I work.

P_RN: thank you for the great idea for labeling pens!!! I will try this!!!

I like pens with a gripper. In nursing school, my hand/fingers would ache from so much writing (pre computer days), so I would wrap a cotton ball around my pen and secure it with bandage tape. When gripper pens or those rubber gripper things came out, I resented someone else getting rich from my idea.

I LOVE my BIC Duo pen. Its a black ball point pen with a highlighter you twist it and it becomes a highlighter twist it again and its back to being a pen. The highlighter is refillable. Theres also a pen I have thats a highlighter, pencil, black and red ink pens. I got it in the army I don't know the name of it but I got like 10 of them. Its great pens to have in school.
