Review on πŸ–οΈ STABILO Pen 68 Tin Set - 20 Vibrant Multicolor Pens for Exceptional Creativity by Paul Massey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good range of colors to complement my Faber-Castell Pitt set

I bought this set because my Faber-Castell Pitt set of 60 pens is a bit limited to some reds and pinks. In addition to these colors, this set also features a nice selection of cool grays, including Cold Gray II, which isn't available in FB pens. When using both pens, it's impossible to distinguish between the two sets of ink - Stabilo is as dense and saturated as FB. This set alone can be used to create vibrant designs, although on its own it is somewhat limited. There are no warm grays, and only having numbers with no color names is a bit annoying, but I make color charts for all my art supplies and it's not that hard to identify the colors, especially if you have a different set labeled. Colors match other brands - scarlet is scarlet - but Stabilo is a great company and that's to be expected. The tips of these pens hold up to typing on thousands of points very well. I thought that maybe it might be uncomfortable to hold thin stems while doing grit (I've had thumb surgery twice and it's not working properly anymore), but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they're quite comfortable.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Reliable
