Best Multi-Pen available.

If you are not familiar with the Uni-ball Jetstream line of ballpoint pens, then buy one now! They are the only ballpoint pens that I will use and they come in an incredible range of designs and prices. They write smooth like a gel pen but dry instantly like ballpoint.

This multi-pen is true to other Uni-ball Jetstream pens that I have used. The colors are nice and all write smooth. The pen is true to the 0.7mm description. The grip is comfortable and pretty firm. There is a good weight distribution through the pen, most of the weight being toward the grip and writing end. The construction appears to be solid and does not look cheap. Being a multi-pen it is a little thicker but definitely not huge, I have use many single pens that are just as thick or thicker. I use this pen to take notes with at school and at work where multi-colored pens are required.

I am very satisfied with this pen and would recommend it to anyone who needs or enjoys multi-pens

This pen is amazing! it writes so smooth.
The ink goes by fast so buy extra ink for the colors you use the most.

I am often conflicted when trying to figure out how many tips I want in a multipen. Now I know 5 is too much. The item is fat and heavy and uncomfortable to hold. Also, the click mechanism is finicky and you can easily disengage the lock by accidentally hitting your finger on the clip (which also serves as the button for the mechanical pencil).

Now on to the good news - the pencil writes well (no breaking) and the ballpoints are the JetStream points we all love. Very smooth and crisp and to me 0.7mm is the best size for pens. Four colors plus 0.55 lead have all your bases covered.

I don't know - I've tried hard to like it, and I really want to, but I'm having a little issue that I've never had with Jetstream pens before: the ink skips when I first put the pen to paper. It's fine after the initial splutter, but even then I have this uneasy feeling of 'blotchiness'. Maybe I got a lemon, or maybe I'm just paranoid, but these things have more or less stopped me from getting much use out of this baby in the few months I've had it.

I may order a new set of inks just to test, although I think I'd swap them for 0.5mm cartridges; in my opinion, 0.7mm is only superior to its thinner counterpart when extended, flowing writing is required. Otherwise, the superior line quality and feedback of the 0.5mm remains superior.

Found this pen on a vacation to Japan and thought I would have to go back to the crummy US selection when I came back and ran out of ink (its been almost six months and I'm just now out of blue). Why hasn't the rest of the world discovered how amazing these are?? This is the first time I will buy refills for a pen because its the first time I've liked one enough to not loose it for this long, not because its expensive but because its amazing!

This is the best multipen i have ever got. its soft and smooth, fatigue free, good looking, no leakage, light, good when sharp turns, refillable, 5 colors, good for all surface and quick dry, ink is water proof, many places have refills (in Hong Kong), choices of colors, and logo does not fade with time. Yes I am a pen addict.

I bought my Jetstream 4&1 pen in Japan and was worried about refills. Checked on this site (my favorite pen site!) and found that JetPens.com has refills! This truly IS an excellent pen - a steal for the quality. You won't find a better ballpoint pen. Creamy feel as you write (but smudge free), no added pressure needed, virtually glides. Hands stay cramp free, particularly if you are writing a lot -- or in my case grading lots of papers. Excellent instrument. Will definitely buy more of these for family members and myself.

The search is over. As another reviewer said, this is the holy grail of pens. The grip is good, but not great. It's a little hard at first, but softens up after a lot use and gets a little saggy on the barrel. I replaced the grip with a Zebra nuSpiral grip to create the greatest pen (now with what I consider the best grip) on earth. The ink is amazing, the barrel is sturdy and pen tips come out straight, unlike other multi pens. The only thing I can think of as an improvement is to make this in a metal barrel. This is very close to a perfect 10.

I absolutely love this pen. It writes really smoothly, dark ink every time, and the grip is really soft and smooth as well. It has all the colors you'll ever need, it is so convenient. I really love the Jetstream series. I'm so glad it's available on this site because my ink is running out and I was starting to get nervous about how I was going to either get another pen or a refill. The refill for black is out right now, but I'm hoping it will be in soon. As soon as the refill is in stock again, I am totally going to buy the refill plus another pen in a different color. I love it!

Now i know, u have to pull out the thing so u can see all colours then pull the leadd pens bit so there's a hole to put the lead

Well i can't put the lead because it always make it break can someone help me ??
___ XD

To advance the pencil lead, press down on the pen clip (i.e., press it towards the tip of the pen).

I have this pen in black and consider it to be the Holy Grail of pens. All the colors I'll ever need, Jetstream ink, AND an eraser. Awesome.

I really like this pen! My only problem/issue is that I can't get the pencil to work... I'm not sure how to advance the led. Could someone help me?

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!

Really Great Pen, but the pencil in it wobbles a little when I write

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!

Wow... I am blown away by this pen. It is nearly flawless in every aspect. I am left-handed and I was all over the original Jetstream pens for their smooth writing and no smudging and then got the original 3-colour Jetstream multi-pen about a year ago. When I saw this high-grade multi pen+pencil, I had no choice but to order it and try it for myself. Here is the verdict.

Pros
-at 0.7 mm, the Jetstream ink is amazingly smooth and the lines are crisp
-the ink pigments are very vibrant and concentrated
-the blue is a few shades darker than average, which I really like
-matte black finish with silver accents is very clean and professional looking
-barrel width and grip are perfect and suprisingly not too large for a 5-function pen
-the different colour tabs are subtle but still bright enough to switch between colours easily
-the pen is very top-heavy, which lets you write smoothly without applying much pressure
-the clicking/switching mechanism is very satisfying for people who like to obsessively click while sitting and thinking

Cons
-the grip likes to attract dust particles, but a quick wipe with a damn cloth will clean them
-the pencil is not world-class, but is good enough for general use. I will still use my Uni-ball Kuru Toga if I need for strictly pencil usage, like doing math equations.
-you might be scared to show it off to your friends and co-workers because they might steal it

Absolutely the best pen that I have used, bought 2, gave my daughter who is an art major one and it is the envy of her classmates. delight to use and I feel naked without it.

After much deliberation, I decided to try the Uni-ball Jetstream 4 & 1. The blue body was my choice. When I finally went to place an order, the blue body was sold out. I came to the website the next day to choose another color and low and behold blue was available again! I snagged the last one and now I'm seeing this blue body is unavailable. Hopefully, JetPens.com will be able to stock this multi-writing utensil again because it is wonderful. As a school teacher, I'm constantly switching between different colors of pens and on occasion I like to have a pencil available. THIS IS THE PERFECT FIT FOR ME. The uniball jetstream ink is the way to go. During the same order, I also got another uniball multipen which doesn't have the jetstream ink. It is also a fine writing tool, but jetstream ink is superb.

The only downfall I am personally having is utilizing the pencil feature. It ticks me off because my wife immediately knew how to click and advance the lead. Usually I'm the one that has to show her. It's funny to her, but I just need to practice a bit. I can't blame Uni-ball for this since my wife is able to get it to work. No doubt, this multi-writing tool deserves a full five star rating.

If you have any question as to whether or not to get this style, don't second guess the decision any longer. GET IT>>>GET IT>>>GET IT NOW>>>> (While you're at it, you might want to grab some refills)

Thanks for the great service to JetPens.com and USPS.

This pen is amazing! I purchased 2 of these over two years ago and I am just now switching to the second one. The first one still works but after extensive use of the mechanical pencil its beginning to stick. I still plan to hold one to the first one as it is still perfectly usable. The four colors are awesome, the eraser is tiny but that's alright with me as I use a pentel tri-eraser all the time anyways, and the mechanical pencil has a small storage barrel. I love the thickness of it with a small gel grip and the amazing functionality of this pen in its small compact form. I give this pen an A+++++ and plan to purchase a green one when they come back in stock!!!

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!

Easy to switch colors, not too big, and makes your notes come alive with more meaning / easier to read - in full color. Ink is smooth and lasts a long time, unlike gel pens, where the ink is slightly smoother, but run out too often.

I wanted a multipen that would write well and include a decent pencil. This pen was an exact match to my needs. The inks flow very nicely and the colors a bold. I would have preferred a 0.7mm pencil, but the 0.5mm works just fine. I highly recommend this multi, as it is difficult to keep my friends and family from walking off with it. It is going to make some good Christmas gifts!

I'm a big fan of the Jetstream pens, but this green baby is my favorite! I'm a pen snob, and this series is the best! Smooth lines, easy, comfy grip, and snazzy styling make these pens the best I've ever used. I work at a grocery store, and a lot of pens don't write on the thermal receipt tape, but the Jetstreams have no problem. Even my customers comment on how nice it writes. I love the color of this green pen because it stands out, and no one else has a pen that looks this great! The colors of the pens are great (I'd love to see a purple ink), and the pencil is handy. I prefer the 0.7 mm line over the popular 0.5 mm, and I find that it's really not that thicker than 0.5mm pens. I own 2 other Jetstream multi pens in red and the hot pink, just so I'll never be without (in my purse, at work, and a spare!).

Great pen! This is the best pen I have ever used. the ink flows great. the pencil is so durable. I give this pen an A+
