This originally was a great multi pen with mech. pencil combo. Unfortunately, for EVERY SINGLE PEN I have bought (which is about five), the pencil will eventually jam and stop working. It's a real bummer, cause otherwise it would be perfect. And believe me, it's not really a fixable issue (it's not your traditional jam, which I have fixed in many lead pencils over the years); basically after experiencing the stresses of normal use, the shaft bends and the clicking function for lead advance no longer works. It's a big disappointment. If you just take a look at the quality of the mechanical pencil, you'll see that it's pretty low budget. I have several Pilot Dr. Grips, but the ink in those is nowhere near the quality of these pens. It's too bad; otherwise it would be the perfect multi-pen!

My absolute HOLY GRAIL of pens! After discovering the amazingness that is the standard Jetstream, I decided to indulge my color-coding habit with the Jetstream multipen. It was the single best decision I have made in my life as a stationery addict. The pen body has a good solid weight to it, but isn't unbearably heavy (some fountain pens come to mind), and holding it is pretty comfortable, even if you have a super low grip like I do. It looks very sleek and classy, and the color tabs are very subtle, which I particularly appreciate in professional settings. (I like the Surari multi a lot, but the bright plasticky tabs are reminiscent of the good old Bic 4-color pen.) The ink, as you'd expect from a Jetstream, is smooth and pretty much flawless. I do find that with the blue I get the occasional tiny glob, and the green is a shade too light for my taste, but these are very minor quibbles indeed, and certainly don't stop me from blowing through refills with terrifying speed. (I write a LOT.) The pencil is not exactly a Kuru Toga, but it's perfectly serviceable - luckily, I'm not really a pencil person and only use the pencil function for doing paleography work and for drawing lines in my notebooks that will later be erased. But this one pen got me through an entire degree, and is well on its way to seeing me through another. I love it so much that I bought the green version, and also a pink 0.5 version, but they just aren't quite as perfect as the original black. Highly recommended!

An incredible product at an incredible price! Purchased two - a black and silver one for me and a pink one for my wife - we both Love them! Very useful, versatile writing instrument at a very reasonable price. You can't go wrong with this!

I would say the best pen there is. Please do not look down on the nurses comment, Its probably the heat. My room was around the 90s and the pen would not work. Put it in the freezer and worked like new again. The grip is pretty decent, sliding is freaking awesome, and the jet stream colors are the best there are. and the 5 in 1 pen/pencil thing adds another positive thing. I would go with it:D

This is probably one of the best pens I even used. The Jetstream ink is amazingly smooth and the pen does not look too cheap. If you don't know which pen to order first from JetPens, I would go with this one.

In Japan last week - these are available in a beautiful dark red, dark blue, and (not-so-beautiful in my opinion) white body. And I bought one of each of course.

I've tried 5 different multipens+pencil, all purchased here at Jetpens and this is by far the best one. the pens write extremely smooth and dark. And like all my other orders Jetpens shipping is super quick....

By dko...

This is an absolutely brilliant pen. All four colours write smooth and bright - my notes prior to using this pen seem so dull in comparison! For a relatively "free-flowing" ink, or for any ink, for that matter, it is extremely blotch-free. As mentioned, the grip is not squishy, but grippy, which I like, and the barrel is a good size for my (slightly larger than average male) hand.
I have but two gripes: first, the pencil isn't great (I don't really mind). Second, like most multi-pens this one makes a loud "click" when you switch between colours, making it awkward to repeatedly switch in class without dampening the noise somehow. if a manufacturer could make a pen with silent-switching, now that would be something! However, I can't bring myself to take off a star for either of these issues, because the pen is just so darn good in every other way.

By jeffb

It's pretty much the perfect multi-pen for a nursing student. It's a ballpoint masquerading as a gel-writer, and writes with all of the qualities I've come to love with gel-inks: starts up quickly, smooth almost creamy writing quality, and bright, solid ink colors (quite noticeable compared to the Zebra Clip-On 4) I note-take for hours and sometimes forget I'm writing with a ballpoint. Love this pen. ?
