# STABILO marathon Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Fine 0.7 mm, Violet, Pack of 3

Pens Pack: STABILO marathon is a violet retractable ballpoint pen set of three, listed with a fine 0.7 mm ballpoint size and a 0.38 mm line width. Its rubber grip, pocket clip and claimed extra-large ink reservoir suit regular note-taking, though the listing’s point-size and line-width descriptions should not be treated as the same measurement.

## Before you buy

- The listing gives both a 0.7 mm ballpoint size and a 0.38 mm line width. These are distinct measurements, and the claimed over-5-km writing distance and twice-standard reservoir capacity are manufacturer statements, not independently verified performance figures. Dimensions and weight are also listed without clarifying whether they refer to one pen or the pack.

## A good fit for

- People wanting three matching violet retractable ballpoint pens for everyday notes.
- Writers who prefer a clip and a rubber grip on a ballpoint pen.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings are strongly positive, with the supplied distribution showing five- and four-star ratings only. This is a small rating sample and provides no specific information about grip comfort, ink life or writing performance, so buyers should weigh it alongside the stated pen specifications.

## Frequently asked questions

### How many pens are in the pack?
The title describes an envelope gift pack of three, and the listed unit count is 3.0 count.
### What are the tip and line measurements?
The listing states a 0.7 mm ballpoint size and a 0.38 mm line width. These describe different measurements, so they should not be conflated.
### Does the pen have a grip and clip?
Yes. A rubber grip and pocket clip are listed, along with a retractable design.
### How long is the claimed writing distance?
The product description claims over 5 km, and separately says the reservoir provides twice as much ink as a standard ballpoint. These are listing claims rather than independently verified results.
