rOtring Multi-Function Pen, Four-In-One, 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil with Black/Red/Blue Ballpoint Pen in Triangle Package (502-700F)

I have been using this writing tool for the past several months. its quality is obvious and all of its component pieces fit together perfectly. It has a nice weight to it but I don't think its too heavy. Also I was a little worried about its diameter and how well it would fit into my hand. Its really not much bigger than my other mechanical pencils and does not at all feel awkward. The selection method works great and I can always select which pen or pencil I want. I actually took the thing apart to understand how it works. Retract the nib by pulling up on the clip. It is spring loaded and makes a nice click when it retracts or extends. To select a pen or pencil retract the nib and then place the tool in a horizontal position and rotate it until the picture of the pen/pencil you want is facing up. Then just push the plunger and out comes the selected nib. This tool is so well built I expect it to last for my lifetime. I am happy with my purchase and I would buy it again.

The best 4 way pen/pencil. Excellent quality and excellent writing.

This is by far the most expensive pen I've ever purchased. I had found an old rOtring multipen and had loved using it, but it stopped working a couple years ago. Deciding that I had been without a multipen long enough, I started searching for a replacement. This pen has all the allure of my old pen and more, but also all of the problems. Pros: - Sleek: This think fits 4 pens/pencils into a 10mm diameter tool. Very nice. - Smooth, but Grippy: It has a glossy finish, but I can easily hold it without it slipping out of my hand. - Cool, gravity-based pen selection system - Weight feels good in the hand Meh: - It's noisy: The pen relies on a pivoting shaft inside it to select which tip to use. This shaft jiggles around when writing, so you won't have a silent writing experience here. I kind of like it, though; the subtle clinking makes you start to appreciate how many moving parts come together to make this pen work. Cons: - The eraser is really bad: It's tiny. The pencil cover is really hard to remove when a tip is engaged, and wiggles a lot when in use. Not good for anything that requires consistent use of an eraser. But I use a separate block eraser when I write with the pencil attachment, so it doesn't bother me unduly. - The rOtring ink that comes with the multipen isn't that good. I would recommend uniball jetstream D1 refills; they write more smoothly, and you can get them in either .5mm or .7mm ink from jetpens(dot)com. Even with all my gripes, I will still use this pen for a long time to come. It's a lasting memory of my grandfather, and a fun writing experience. Edit 9/27/17 ~ 1.5 years later The paint has worn down/been chipped off over the 1.5 years I've had this pen (see photos), but it still works well. Edit 10/14/18 ~ 2.5 years later The black pen mechanism has stopped working. With only 2 of the 3 pens operational, this multipen is a lot less useful, and I will use it less-often. Overall, I have really enjoyed using this product (almost every day) since I purchased it. I have spent about 75$ in ink over the past 2+ years, though. Be aware of the necessity to purchase ink often with any pen that uses D1 refills.

I have two now - a black one from the 1970s when I lived in Germany and one bought last year here in the US. They're pretty much identical and the matte steel tube fits snugly between your index and ring fingers, making writing a pleasure. They're seemingly unbreakable and it's so convenient to have pens and pencils packaged together. I also have some Tikkys and they're of equal quality and convenience. Yes, these are fairly expensive, but they'll last for years and years!

I had one of these twenty years ago (and lost it) and replaced the ink with Schmidt cartridges because the original were so difficult to write with. This one however, writes very well. Though it is a larger pen (not quite double), it is easy enough to manoeuvre. This writes smoothly and cleanly. I like the weight and find this build quality very good. As for value for the money- it depends. obviously a Uni Jestream trio is cheaper, but this is not plastic and should last longer. Just keep your eye on it- someone might try to pinch it.

This is my first Rotring pen/pencil. My favorite Pilot multi pen-pencil is no longer being manufactured, so I decided to try this. I absolutely love it! Nice weight and comfortable diameter, and feels really good in my hand. Writes beautifully, and multiple refills are compatible. Recommend!
