I have had this multi-pen now for five weeks and use it daily in my job as a
military adviser to the Afghan Army. So far, I am thoroughly impressed with the
solid construction quality and ease of use. I love the smooth operation of the
twist and can feel when it is in place. It came with no instructions on how to
set it up, but only took me about 2 minutes to figure it out. I store it in my
blouse and just set it between the pen and pen options to avoid ink spots or
damage. I love the ultra-thin ink and pencil options. Additionally, the black
ink I purchased has lasted a satisfactory time and I have yet to have to replace
it. I did run out of the pencil lead, but was able to easily manually load the
lead from a refill I got from JetPen. My pens run out of ink rather then loosing
them. So I imagine with the quality of the pen, I shoudl have it for a long
time. *Wish the clip wasn't made of plastic either, but I am being cautious with
it nonetheless. I love the color as well. JetPen got my pen to me in Afghanistan
about nine days after I placed the order. That is impressive. Highly
recommended.

I have a PILE (10+) of multi-pens, and this one takes the prize. It's not too
fat (most are), there is an array of colors for the pens (the Bordeaux is very
yummy) and for pencil lead sizes. It's solid - like a good tool should be. The
pens don't rattle when you shake it, all that you hear is the pencil lead
moving. The surface is smooth, but not slick. If you're one of those who rotate
your pens and pencils between phrases, this one is really nice, as it rotates
without getting unbalanced, and has a nice hefty, solid feel that lands in the
right spot after the rotation. I got the Khaki hoping it would be more brown
than green, but it is mostly a green color. I would recommend this to anyone who
wants a mult-ipen but is tired of the usual too-fat plastic pens.
