Our take on the uni-ball R:E Erasable Gel Pen

The uni-ball R:E is a retractable gel pen whose ink erases by friction heat from a hard rubber tip on the back end, so you rub rather than use a separate eraser. It writes in a fine, dark gel line and suits students, note-takers and anyone who drafts by hand and wants to fix mistakes without crossing out. Against the Pilot Frixion, its main rival, it feels more like a standard gel pen in the hand and lays down a bolder line, but the ink is still heat-sensitive: it fades in hot cars and cannot be used on legal or exam documents. Reviewers like the smooth write and clean erasing; some note the eraser tip wears down and the ink runs out faster than a regular gel refill.

Questions and answers

How does the R:E erase?
Friction from the hard tip on the back end heats the ink, which then lifts off the page. There is no eraser dust and no separate eraser to lose.
Can I use it on exams or official documents?
No. Erasable ink is not accepted for exams, legal signatures or archival records because it can be removed or faded by heat.
Does the ink fade over time?
In normal indoor storage the writing stays put. Leaving the page in a hot car or direct sun can fade or erase it.
Is it refillable?
Yes, uni-ball sells refills for the R:E, so you keep the barrel and replace the ink cartridge.
How does it compare with the Pilot Frixion?
The R:E writes with a wetter, darker gel line and feels more like a conventional pen. The Frixion comes in more tip sizes and colors.
What tip size does it have?
It uses an extra-fine point, giving a thin line suited to small handwriting and detailed notes.
Where is the uni-ball R:E Erasable Gel Pen cheapest?
At CHL Store, for $1.67, 52% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
