Good ballpoint pens?

I still use pens everyday for many uses, but it is next to impossible to find one that doesn't leak like a stuck pig after a single day of use. I really like the Inkjoy pens, they are comfortable in the hand but they still leak like crazy. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

There is actually a Web site for pens. Google it.

I'll have to check into it, but you know you can't always trust what you read on the internet.

I would suggest a Zebra pen. I've carried one in my shirt pocket for about 5 years. It's on its third refill. Has never leaked a drop and writes every time.

Mont Blanc pens are among the best ( probably THE best )
I've had my ball point and fountain pens for over 20 years now and they still perform like new.

I don't know what you are doing, but I've been using ballpoint pens all my life, cheap ones and expensive ones, and it is rare I've had one leak. I've used many until they ran out of ink and never leaked, and I don't think I've ever had one leak after one day.

I am a factory worker in heat treat, so I am around high temps and extreme conditions or a daily basis.

Pilot G-2 with gel ink
Except for some really cheap ones I have seldom had a ballpoint leak unless I did something to it. Got it too hot, too cold or took it up somewhere at high elevation.
Now fountain pens, which I still use sometimes (I love the way they write.) they will often leak, or ink will dry in the feed channel and/or nib so I have to clean it to make it write.
