Staedtler may be best known for drawing pens and equipment, especially for technical drawing, but they make some wonderful quality pens, too. Their basic Staedtler Stick is a really nice choice when you just need a cheap ballpoint, while the Triplus range are slim and comfortable to hold. the Triplus Colour and Fineliner pens both have huge colour ranges, too, making them great for colouring, as well as tasks like mindmapping or notetaking.
