Bic Wite-Out Shake'n Squeeze Correction Pen 8 Ml

Working in an office 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, one is likely to run into about 10, to 15 mistakes in that time frame. This is most likely why my boss has box loads of Bics Wite-Out Shake'n Squeeze Correction Pens. I'm assuming though that he's never actually used them himself; otherwise this would no longer be the brand of choice here in the office when it comes to white out.

Before I tell you about my experiences with Bic Wite-Out Shake'n Squeeze Correction Pens, I figured I may as well go ahead and let you know how to use this nifty white out device.

This was copied directly from the wite-out pen itself:

1) Shake well before use

2) Remove Cap

3) Push Down Firmly on tip and squeeze on barrel

4) Use just like a pen

5) Recap after each use

Also squeezed on the side of the in bold print are some warnings about the product. In my opinion it makes this pen seem a little scary.

CAUTION: FLAMMABLE (This is in Bold Small Print)

- KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE OF FLAME

- KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN

- DO NOT SWALLOW OR INHALE

- WARNING: Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating or inhaling contents can be harmful or fatal

They seemed to of forgotten a few other warnings actually, but I will get into that at the very end of this review.

So... lets get into how well Bic wite-out shake and squeeze pens worked for me.

For one, every now and then, after shaking and squeezing with all your might, the pens tip sometimes doesn't allow any wite-out to flow.
This led me at one point, into thinking that the wite-out was empty. Yet when I shook the pen, it was clear it was a fully loaded pen. What gives!?

Secondly, one squeeze either fixes an error, or makes an even bigger error.

If you haven't used this product before, don't just assume you can shake this pen, and then just easily squeeze the wite-out onto your mistake, and it will be all fixed. This won't happen!

Read on...

The first squeeze you take will ALWAYS squirt out clear liquid, that looks like some sort of bird poop type substance, onto your paper. It's a mess that can't be fixed. You may as well print up a brand new document and start from ground zero.
