uni JETSTREAM 4&1 Red, Green, Blue, and Black 0.7mm Ballpoint Multi Pen and 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil (Black)

We were given these pens as a gift and liked them so much we bought more! They feel nice to hold and write smoothly on the paper. There is a pencil option as well.

I thought these were 4 in 1, and some were black, blue, red, green, and some were black, blue, red, pencil. But turns out, they're 4 + 1, they have 4 pen colors, plus a pencil. Or at least this one is, which was a nice surprise. I like the barrel color, the 4 colors are all smooth like I'd expect from Jetstream, and the pencil is fine. Not sure how to refill it yet. Barrel is rubberized at the grip, but not soft. I used to have multiple pens at my desk, but any time I leave the desk, I only bring one. Got this so I could have all 4 options away from the desk. Not that cheap, but worth it for my use case. Also like that it's unlikely for somebody to take it on accident

I love this pen. I have bought these for the last 8 years. They work great. Smooth writing. The bottom tends to unscrew from the top of you carry it in your pants pocket. My careful.

Bought this to replace a Pilot Dr. Grip 4+1. Pros - 1. better price 2. Uni Jetstream uses black smooth rubber grip vs clear rubber grip on the Dr. Grip that turns yellow over time and collects skin oils under it that are visible through the clear rubber - gross, also I keep good pens a long time, so gets even grosser. 3. Uni Jet black plastic is solid satin molded that will probably always look nicely black vs. Dr. Grip is laminated plastic that chips and scrapes and looks ugly over time especially if you carry your pen around with you in pockets/purses (example, my blue Dr. Grip is all speckled blue and silver now; a silver one turned mostly off white when outer silver coating wore out). 4. much smoother ink flow than Dr. Grip down to last drop. cons 1. much smoother ink flow that runs out way way way faster than the Dr. Grip ink. This is the big problem for me - the ink is nice and smooth but I went through one refill in a fraction of the time I go through a Pilot Dr. Grip pen refill. I have used Dr. Grip pens for years exclusively and need ink to last a reasonable amount of time. But want a better alternate to the ugly wear and tear of Dr. Grips. Solution! Pilot refills are longer stems than the Uni refills, but same (or nearly same) diameter/width. SO I took a Pilot refill, snipped it to shorter length of the Uni refill (and didn't compromise any ink), snapped it in, and good to go. Best of both, let's see how this works out.

I love the Uni Jestream pens! They're sized well, have lots of features and look professional. This is important because if you need a 4-color pen you don't want to look like a junior-high kid bringing his pen to school. I'm a software engineer and it's handy to have all of these colors because I can write code notes in the same colors as my development environment, making things easier to read and this pen doesn't make me look unprofessional. Also, the .7mm refills are compatible with the 5mm refills, so this particular pen comes with .7mm which I swapped with my .5mm pen which I prefer those sizes with each pen, so that's convenient for me.

Such an improvement from the old Bic multi-colored pens of the past. Sharp colors, easy glide onto the paper, good looking, great for my day planner & notetaking, NO ink leaking through paper, EASY to move from one color to the next, comes in many nice exterior colors, it has a pencil op too which I have been using more than I expected..... I love this pen and it went beyond my expectations. It also DOES NOT SMEAR when I write and that is saying a lot as I am a left-hand writer and for those of you who are one/know one, this is a big deal. Another plus is that you can buy refills so the footprint is less wasteful. However, just like with anything, longevity is going to depend on how you treat your material possessions. It is not that you have to be delicate with it but do remember it's not meant to be ever-lasting. Treat it with respect & care and I am guessing it will last longer. Lastly, it is important not to compare this to a single colored pen. There are better writing tools for that. Remember the extraordinary capability of this particular pen is that THIS pen has 4 colors & pencil in one, so it belongs in its own category. If you judge by this, you may find yourself with the best of the bunch. By the way, I am a legit user, this is not a fake review, and now come to think of it...the company should really hire me. Lol. ps. I have only owned this pen a few days so if I get around to it I will try to do a follow up later this year.

New favorite pen

How to refill the pencil lead is different from the instructions the Amazon AI suggests which is to remove the end cap and eraser and insert lead into that opening. WRONG. Like many Japanese multi pens with mechanical pencils, there is NO opening under the eraser. Instead, unscrew the pen body as if you are going to replace one of the ink colors, look for the seam on the metal lead holder and gently slide it apart. That is the small opening to insert the lead. I suggest limiting the lead refills to two to avoid jamming.

La scrittura e la maneggevolezza!

Versatile in a neat package. A good alternative to the bic

Compé el bolígrafo por su versatilidad ya que dispones de portaminas y de 3 colores (rojo azul y negro) cuando realizas el cambio de uno a otro nunca se atasca y al escribir es muy cómodo. En cuanto al precio uno de los más competitivos 8.60€ lo que los bolígrafos de esta clase no bajan de los 16€ como poco Un auténtico acierto

Geweldige pen, schrijft heerlijk

Mycket bra
