Everyday writing tool

The Pentel K497C retractable gel roller pen uses archival quality, acid-free blue ink in a medium point. A comfortable latex-free grip supports extended writing sessions. The sleek barrel design includes a crystal clear diamond designed top click mechanism. An extra large metal pocket clip attaches securely to pockets and notebooks.

Archival ink benefit

Acid-free gel ink resists fading and meets archival standards for document preservation. The latex-free grip reduces hand fatigue during long periods of use. Retractable operation protects the tip and prevents accidental marks on clothing or bags. The sturdy metal clip keeps the pen accessible on notebooks or shirt pockets.

Simple ready-to-use format

Each pen arrives pre-filled and capped, requiring no assembly or refilling before first use. The click mechanism extends and retracts the tip with a single press. If the grip shifts during heavy use, it can be repositioned by hand. A dried tip may sometimes restart with a few firm scribbles on scrap paper.

Questions about this item

How long before the gel ink cartridge in the K497C needs replacing?

Each pen holds a standard gel refill; with daily writing a cartridge typically lasts several weeks before a replacement is required.

What stops you writing continuously with the medium tip?

The medium ball lays down a consistent line until the ink runs dry, so the first limit you hit is cartridge depletion.

Does the retractable mechanism click loudly during all-day use?

The crystal-clear diamond top click is designed for quiet operation and the latex-free grip stays comfortable through long sessions.
