Uni Jetstream Multi Pen 4 and 1, 0.38mm Ballpoint Pen (Red, Blue, Green) and 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil, Body, Black (MSXE5100038.24)

I frequently attend meetings in different rooms and rely on this pen's mutiple colors to help me keep track of tasks, hot action items, things to look up, and other items. The ink flows smoothly, the pencil is wonderful, and the eraser quality is great. For me, the two things that set this pen above competitor offerings are 1.) the clip is large enough to clip over a book ring and strong enough not to break under normal use. 2.) I'm left-handed and find many pens smear as I write, this one doesn't. The one thing I would change about this pen, and it's a very minor quibble, would be to smooth out the transition between the rubber grip and the metal end. This area can cause a point of heat on my finger...but again, it's a pretty minor issue for me becuase I rarely write more than a few bullet points or a quick note.

I love this pen! I can label urgent, financial, personal, medical, and work items with designated colors, and I can use the pencil for tentative meetings or appointments. The barrel is thicker (of course) than the regular version of this pen and it might be a little too thick for some people, but I can work with it. The fine point is excellent, the ink crisp and clear, and legible even when I write small. Even though there are 4 colors, the ink lasts for quite a while. I purchased mine months ago and I have yet to require refills for any of the ink. If you write more than light calendar mark-ups, you might want to consider the regular Jetstream 0.38REFILLS: I highly recommend this pen, but be aware that the refills you order for this pen are thinner than the refills you'd order for the regular 0.38 Jetstream. This pen will not accept the larger refills.PAPER: I use this pen with my Hobonichi Techo Cousin, Weeks, and Day-Free with mild show-through and no bleeding. These products use thin Tomoe River Paper, and I LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS!BLOBS: This is a ball-point pen with better technology, but you will occasionally have blobs of ink. I wipe the pen if the ink looks a little thick, and keep going. I'm a pen snob and have avoided ballpoint pens like the plague for a few years, but this line of pens is worth the occasional blob, IMHO. Don't try to create lines or linear drawings very much with it, as you might have more blobs than with writing letters.

The pen/ pencil is very useful to keep with you on your EDC. It’s easy to store and works out of the box. It’s really slim to pack. Really useful in a pinch if you want to be minimalistic.

Great pen and writes very smooth.

It works as it should but it is quite wide. It doesn’t fit in some of my shirt pockets that have a cut-out for pens.

Best of everythung

good pencil and pens. Easy to refill. Solid feel. Using pencil requires a lower grip on the pencil to avoid closing pencil by hitting the clip, which operates the pencil. It works great for me.

Considering this is a 5 in 1, it's pretty low profile and looks good, BUT this tiny ink tip scratches while it writes and it doesn't always put out ink. I'm regularly having to do a quick scribble off to the side, just to get it to write again. It's embarrassing in meetings or 1 on 1 training while trying to take notes.
