smttw 4 in1 Multi-Function Refillable & Retractable Ballpoint Pen + 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil, Fine Point, Black Metal Barrel, Black/Red/Blue Inks, Multicolor Pen With Metal Gift Box

Practical and nice

I actually really like this pen! All the people saying they couldn't figure out how to select the point they wanted just can't follow directions. The gravity selection feature is unique and works great.My only issue and why I will be returning the pen is it can only store one pencil lead at a time. This is extremely inconvenient and silly because if they changed the reservoir to the same type that Pentel and others use they would have a reasonable amount of lead storage. ... I hope they fix this feature so I can give it another shot.

I love the design and as an accounting professional having a pen AND pencil in my hand is great

You never know how important color and emphasis is until you use these.I had the old Tech 3 pens from another company before and was bummed when they disappeared from the Market. Finding replacement ink was a challenge, and then these SMTTW pens showed up in my recommended products. I took a chance, and yes there is a little getting used to retracting the pen, and turning it so the color you want is face up and then clicking, but once you get it, it becomes so natural. The pens are light and feel sturdy and the ink flows smoothly and evenly. Highly recommended.

Simply put - JUNK...*UPDATE -[And as I promised SMTTW]After afew attempts, at contacting SMTTW [Seller/Maker] - And perhaps in response to my 'review' below, they; SMTTW offered up a 'Full Refund' [which I took], regarding my dissatisfaction with their product and service.For me the matter is closed AND no, I will not purchase from them in the future -Don't waste your time /or your MONEY on these 'D1' - multi-pens mini-cartridges from China. I bought mine in March 2022 [now it's April] and needed to re-new my Staedtler 'Retro3' black and red inks.Firstly, these don't fit - The barrel is to narrow [under-sized] and falls out; That is they'll not 'lock-in' and stay secured.Secondly, out of 6 - YES, six cartridges; I finally found one, which wasn't dried out and would write...AND just to see if these cartridges were perhaps not made for a Staedtler multi-pen, I tried them in afew other multi-pens I own -These WILL NOT work in the Skilcraft 'pilot' multi-pen - The 'new' Retro 3 - The rOtring 'quads' or 'trios' - And on one or two other 'older' styled multi-pens, I've had for years; This being the 'shaft' or barrel cartridge is undersized and doesn't securely lock into the pen [and the fact the ink's are poorly made and dried out].Simply put, don't waste your time of these CHEAP cartridges and seek out another manufacturer.It's your money...

Still looking for an eraser as mentioned below in my previous review...ORIGINAL REVIEW MAY 2024:I just got this a couple of days ago, so this is a first impression review. This instrument is a very credible copy of the old Japanese Niji pen/pencil for about a third the price. It's also a good replacement for the ill-fated and discontinued Cross Tech-4 combo pen/pencil which I love and still use. AND, this one includes a 0.7 pencil (not the more easily breakable 0.5). And again, it's much less expensive than the Cross was. But the low cost apparently doesn't come without its penalties. The pens work fine so far, and the selection mechanism also works well. However, the eraser is a bit of an issue. First, in order to use it, you must retract the pencil, and then remove the metal cap that covers the eraser. Once finished erasing, you must then re-extend the pencil mechanism to continue writing. This becomes laborious if you are doing a lot of corrections. And, of course, you should also replace the metal cap which covers the eraser. And Therin lies the other issue: sometimes the cap just won't go on! It seems to get hung up on a ridge on the eraser tube and must be jiggled and finessed around until it finally slips past the obstruction and slides on. And finally, of all the erasers I have, I CAN'T FIND AN EREASER TO FIT THIS!! And if I still can't find one, that will be a deal killer for me. If I can find an eraser, I'd consider changing my star rating from 3 to 4 or 5.

This is a great product. I had one several years ago and lost it. Multipoint functionality and replaceable barrels is a major plus.

I have several multi-pens (Jetstream, Rotring, BIC, Sharbo, Hi-Tec, Pentel, Uniball). I appreciate the efficiency of housing multiple pens in the same body. Here are some things that stand out to me about this pen.PROS: The overall look and feel of the pen is nice, thin, and of good quality. The black pen has a nice matte finish and the textured grip does make it easier to write. The metal body should be sturdy enough to withstand accidental drops. The threads are noticeably tight. The ballpoint pens (probably 0.7 mm) lay down a nice wet line right out of the box and I was pleasantly surprised by the smoothness of the ballpoint pens. The pencil writes as predicted. The mechanism to select the color works relatively well. You might need to unscrew the grip and make sure each barrel is securely inserted into the pen body.CONS: It would have been nice to have an eraser for the pencil under the cap. Also, I had some issues using the blue ballpoint pen. When I depressed the cap, the blue tip would stick out too far and I could not retract it. But once you press the tip back in, it was fixed. They key is not to press the end cap down too hard.Summary: Overall, this is a nice pen that is appropriate to give as a gift. It looks nice, works pretty well, and comes in a presentable package. I have a Rotring multipen that is similar to this pen. This pen writes better and is a much better buy.
