Stabilo EASYoriginal Rollerball Pen - Dark Blue/Light Blue

Meet the Stabilo EASYoriginal rollerball pen, the superhero in the EASY Start family, swooping in to save the day for new writers and school kids battling with their first letters.

Refilling? As easy as pie, with zero mess. It's like changing batteries in a toy, really. And let's not forget the bonus - it comes with a medium blue erasable refill because everyone deserves a second chance. And, for those who like to put their name on everything (we don't judge), there's even a space for a name tag on the barrel. Now that's what we call a well-rounded pen!
