REVISION (from review on black body) --- This pens barrel, based on my use at my desk, is prone to cracking, and making the pen unusable. This may be because of the increased barrel weight if it is dropped. This pen has become non functioning after limited desk use, due to barrel cracking by a drop of 3' (desk height onto vinyl flooring).

Good while it lasted, but it did not last long. My Zebra was well over a year and still going.

This is a great pen! I wish to have on all colors but I'm very happy with the yellow it's beautiful! A lot of complements I've got on my pen, I really love it! Moreover, the shaking pencil is a great future, makes very easy to keep going when you are in a hurry, so just shake it the lead comes out. Way to go Pilot!

Very good styling, the red is very stricking. The eraser cap twists off though, which is inconvinient. Also, it is very smooth...

I'm a previous Dr. Grip fan. I love, love, love this pen. So much that I've managed to purchase every color except black. I wonder how long I'll be able to resist that one... The design is great. Seems tough and rugged, but beautifully styled at the same time. Writing is very smooth. The only pen I want to use anymore.

Excellent pen for Dr. Grip fans. The pens write very smoothly (almost like gel or rollerball pens) and the pencil is very convenient. The clip is big enough to attach the pen to my Moleskine. The eraser cap screws on, which is will help avoid losing it. Its weight, width and the Dr. Grip design make it very comfortable to write with. Love its funky design as well (reminds me of Zoltar from Battle of the Planets).

One of my favorite new pens! The feel is so comfortable and the shaker mechanism on the pencil works great! The ink flows smoothly and the lead doesn't break easily. I love that it looks so different from the Zebra & Dr. Grip Multi pens..it just stands out! LOVE IT!!

I bought this pen in red first and I loved it so much that I ended up buying the other 4 colors as well. plus ink refills for them. I tend to favor pens with a larger barrel and this one is perfect. The weight feels good in my hand and the ink is fairly smooth. A really great pen.

Just got this pen and I love it! The pens write very smoothly, although they are more fine point than medium. I really like the shaker pencil mechanism. The pen has a nice weight and feels good in my hand. The red body is very bright and eye catching. This pen looks and feels more expensive than it actually is. I will definitely be purchasing this in other colors.

I love the way this pen looks, it's a little heavy and clunky and the ink is terrible!! I'm so disappointed. It's super scratchy and doesn't write smoothly at all.

Very cumbersome to write with. Barrel is too fat. Ink is rather pale.
Not worth the price.

My Mother-in-law in Japan mailed this to me in the U.S. for a Christmas present. I loved this pen while it lasted. I have never used such a smooth writing pen and also liked the balance and weight. Mine developed a crack that won't allow the pen to stay together anymore. I do not know how this happened but it may have been when I picked up my son while the pen was in my shirt pocket. I'm thinking his weight against my chest may have caused it. Nonetheless, I am going to buy another because I enjoyed this pen so much and am generally careful with things. I'll just have to be more careful with the new one. Great pen!

This pen is perfect for people in the medical field. It writes very smoothley and feels comfortable in my hand.

It was a nice pen while it lasted.

First lets say this is a LARGE Multi pen. It is longer than the Zebra clip on, and much heftier. It is also more durable. I love the Zebra, do not get me wrong, it has been my daily work pen for the past year. This one made the zebra go to the drawer. I have a large hand so the size is not an issue, the weight is well balanced, the clip is sturdy and the ink slides are well laid out and sturdy also. The pencil is a shaker, but is not advanced by simple movements, you need to give it a real shake for it to advance. It puts out the perfect amount of lead regardless of if you shake or knock it.

The inks are the pilot inks we know and love. they lay down silky smooth, like a .5 hi-tec c. The red ink even has a littel red band around the tip.

Drawback the black lever is really darker gray and the pencil is lighter gray, once you get the locations this will not be a problem. I also have not figured out how to refill the pencil, since there are no instructions....
