The EzGrip ink pen "guarantees users will not get writer’s cramp, and persons that now have any existing form of hand difficulty such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other repetitive stress injuries, will find they can use EzGrip pens without pain or discomfort." A contoured ledge/grip allows one finger to provide all the downward pressure needed to write without having to grip the barrel of the pen.

Why is it Different?

The EzGrip Ink Pen is an ergonomic ink pen that can ease and abate writer's cramp. The unique form factor is the key to all of this. A contoured grip with a finger tip ledge reduced the need to grip the pen to provide the downward pressure to mark with the roller ball tip.

Does it Deliver?

Yes it delivers. The EzGrip ink pen is a good ergonomic ink pen. The comfort grip is fantastic and the finger tip ledge does all it is supposed to.

It uses a standard roller ball refill so you can load it with your favorite ink.

The only drawback is the clip. The wire clip is strong and tough. A little to strong to slip over thin paper without some help.

All in all this pen may not be something you tell all your friends about, but you will probably find yourself reaching for the EzGrip any time you have some serious writing to do.

Beneficiaries

Anyone who writes can find benefit in using an EzGrip ink pen. Those who do a lot of manual writing or who tend to suffer from writer's cramp will benefit the most. Some groups that are affected are:

• Students/Teacher
• Wait Staff
• Office Workers
• Medical Personnel
• Writers/Journalists

Summary

The EzGrip is a good ergonomic solution to your writing instrumentation needs. It is a solid refillable roller ball ink pen with one of the best comfort grips on the market. The finger tip ledge reduces your grip needs and therefor reduces hand fatigue and writer's cramp.
