What inexpensive pens use Cross rollerball refills?

Question

I have a bunch of Cross rollerball refills that I picked up at a clearance sale, but I've lost my Cross pen. I don't want to spend $40 to replace the pen, but would like to use the refills. Some inexpensive pens use Cross refills, but I don't know which ones. Any ideas?

The problem I have is that I am notorious for loosing nice pens. I can carry a crappy marketing pen around for months, but will loose a premium pen just like *that*. I suspect that people borrow them and just walk away. My family has learned their lesson and refuses to buy me nice pens for a gift.

Answer 1

Cross refills only fit into Cross pens. I've been in a similar situation, but ended up buying a replacement pen - here's why:

The cartridges will always be a little bit too big/small for the bore of the pen, a bit too long/short for the pen if you use a non-Cross pen. I've tried Gerry-rigging pens, but it's never a perfect fit as you need an exact and firm fit. As a result, you're going to lose the stability, smoothness and cleanliness of this superb product. What's the point of saving a few dollars to lose all the benefits that you sought by buying the refills in the first place?
