Best Budget Pen? [Hive Five Call For Contenders]

Best Budget Pen? Pen enthusiasts will tell you that you can never spend enough money to get a quality writing instrument, and bargain basement shoppers won't think twice about buying a $2 bag of Bics and walking away. This week we want to hear from those of you who love your writing instruments but don't love going broke either. Which pen type and model do you think is the best when you're not trying to break the bank?

Sure, the 12-pack ballpoints from the convenience store are cheap, but you go through them quickly, and they're not exactly fun to use. That $200 fountain pen may be fun to use, but seriously, it's $200 - we want to know about the pens that fall in the middle, the ones you make sure you never lose, or the ones you give as gifts. Let us know which affordable pen is the best you've used?the one you'll never let go of?in the discussions below.

Hive Five nominations take place in the discussions, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of nominations, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: BEST BUDGET PEN. Please don't include your vote in a reply to another person. Nominations emailed to us will not be counted. Instead, make your vote and reply separate discussions. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.

About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's five best alarm clocks.

The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it?it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at tips+hivefive@lifehacker.com!
