There’s nothing particularly special about the Wexford Retractable gel ink pen. It’s a generic brand – Wexford is distributed by Walgreens stores here in the U.S. – and it manages to fit a “generic” description, being neither the best nor worst in its category. Basically, it’s a another “premium plastic” pen, similar to the Pilot G-2 or Zebra Sarasa, with a clear body, black trim, and a rubber grip.
I wasn’t expecting too much out of this gel ink pen when I grabbed it off the shelf, and it certainly isn’t a bad pen. It doesn’t smear as much as I expected for a 1.0mm gel pen, and the ink is nice and dark – perhaps even a shade darker than the Pilot G-2. Ink flow consistency is the only noteworthy issue the Wexford Retractable has, randomly running thick or thin while in use.
If you happen to be in need of a gel pen while at a Walgreens store, the Wexford Retractable is a fine choice. Or in other words, there’s no reason to go out of your way for one of these pens. Plenty of better options are out there for gel ink pens. However, the Wexford Retractable will likely suit your needs in a pinch.

It comes with no directions and I can’t get it to open. There is no button.

Absolute GARBAGE these pens are!! I bought a pack of 4 and tried one out . The cartridge lasted 20 minutes of normal use. 20 minutes!!!!!!! I tried another one from that same package and had the SAME EXACT CRAPPY RESULTS. Do NOT waste your money on these chinese ripoffs.

I have used a lot of different pens by the more popular manufacturers and was a bit skeptical when I purchased some Wexford pens. I have had no issue with them at all. They have lasted just as long as some more expensive brands with consistent ink flow. They may well become my go to pens. I have decided to give them a chance by purchasing 4 black and 4 blue. I am very picky about the ink flow and feel of the ball as it glides across the paper.
