smttw4 in1 Multi-Function Refillable & Retractable Ballpoint Pen + 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil, Fine Point, Grey Metal Barrel, With Black/Red/Blue Inks Color Code, Multicolor Pen With Metal Gift Box

I actually found one of these pens on a flight I was on years ago on Delta. I really didn't use the pen much but thought it was cool. I decided I wanted to use it recently in a class due to the point that I had to use a pencil to take my tests. This pen was old and wearing out. So I decided to research and find out what kind of pen it was. I found it here on Amazon, I have since bought 4 of them, one for myself and 3 as gifts. The first one I spent over $33 but the last 3 they were on sale I guess for $22. I really like it because you have a black pen, a red pen, and a mechanical pencil. Fun pen 3 in one. I would highly recommend this purchase.

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.

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.

Practical and nice

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...

Construction seems solid and it’s an awesome pen, but unfortunately the pencil is defective in the one I received. The lead slips up into the pen when applied to paper.Updated review 5/29/2019: I bought two and returned one for a replacement. Honestly, the weight and feel of the pen is great, but the quality is hit or miss. The above review is for a silver one I bought. I returned it for a replacement and while the pencil function works this time, the cap that covers the eraser is too loose and will fall of by itself. It's an annoyance and I should return it, but I'm not going to bother.The second one is a black one, and it works perfectly.All in all, I really enjoy having a nice looking pen with all the different functions (colors; and pencil). For me, the functionality of the pen outweighs my quality concerns and I'd probably buy another one in the future. But if you are expecting perfection, this is not the pen for you.I should note too, the return and replacement process was absurdly easy. I just had to drop of the pen at a UPS store. I didn't even need to put the pen in a box or folder. Just dropped it off without any form of packaging, ups scanned the bar code amazon provided, and that was it.
