In my quest for a decent writing premium multi pen, I decided to give the Rotring Quattro Multi Pen (via Amazon) a shot.  I figured since Rotring has a great reputation for quality and construction it was worth giving it a try even at a little bit of a bigger price than some similar offerings. … [Read more…]

I don’t know what I was thinking when I bought this Uni Jetstream Prime 3 plus 1 (buy via Amazon).  I mean seriously, look at that odd shape and awful blue jewel on the clip.  You think I would have learned my lesson when I reviewed the Uni Jetstream Prime (3 colors, but sans pencil) and couldn’t have hated it more.  I guess because I love the regular non-fancy pants, plastic version of the Jetstream Multi Pen, I’m obsessed with finding a high end metal … [Read more…]

I recently realized that one of my most used non-fountain pens was my Uniball Jetstream multi-pen in both the .5mm and .7mm version.  The .7mm version is the one in the front with the white clip and the .5mm is the one in the center with the clear clip and glossy black body.  The other pen in this picture is the Uni Jetstream Prime with .7mm refills, which I was pretty much assuming would be the perfect pen (for me) with its solid metal construction and … [Read more…]

The other day I was browsing through the pen aisle at my local Staples and I ran across this updated version of the Bic 4 Color Pen that now has a metallic barrels.  There really isn’t much to technically review on the Bic 4 Color Metallic Multi pen because its purely a visual change that has no impact on how the pens write.  I just thought I’d share these quickly anyway since they tend to be a pretty popular pen, and the new shiny version deserves some … [Read more…]

The Paper Mate InkJoy Quatro is a refreshed looking version of the classic Old School Bic Color Pen.  The standard white body with 4 color options of green, blue, black and red make this type of pen a staple for many looking for a basic multi color pen.  The one reviewed here today is a 1.omm Medium tipped version. … [Read more…]

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Solid Titanium Pen and Stylus from Big Idea Design, and they were kind enough to send up these aluminum versions to check out next.  In addition to this review, we will also be doing a giveaway later this week of both the standard aluminum version and the XTS which is the shorter version you see here, so be sure to check back in for that.  If you can’t wait for the giveaway, feel free to head on over to the Big Idea Design … [Read more…]

Back in June of last year we highlighted a really cool new pen that was being funded through Kickstarter that took the refills for dozens of your favorite pens, and also functioned as a stylus.  The pen got enough momentum to actually get funded and I recently received mine as a funder of the project.  The Titanium Pen and Stylus can be found over at the Big Idea Design website if you are interested in purchasing one. … [Read more…]

I was recently contacted regarding another cool Kickstarter project, this time for a very unique combination pen/stylus that is designed and made completely in the US.  This is just a quick overview of the SPC stylus and pen until I get my hands on one, which should be in the next week or so, but the project still has 50+ days left to go.  I was also informed by the creators of this project that they are working on a clip for this as well, and I know that … [Read more…]

  Today while I was checking out one of my favorite non-pen sites (Uncrate) I came across…an amazing pen, go figure.  This solid titanium pen with a capacitive stylus takes more refills than any pen I’ve ever seen before.  I’m really itching to get my hands on this thing to do a review, but it looks very promising.  You can find it here on Kickstarter, which is appropriate because I think this pen literally kicks the s4#!t out of any of the other … [Read more…]

    Every time I think I’ve reviewed my last Uniball Jetstream, I find myself buying a new one and writing about it.  I’ve owned the .7mm version of the Jetstream3 multi-pen, but the other day when placing my last JetPens order, I browsed around a bit and found Uni-ball Jetstream3 .5mm Multi Pen, which I had yet to try.  We will keep this short for some mid-week light reading today, and as not to get too gushy with all the Jetstream … [Read more…]

One of my favorite mult-pens is the Pilot Coleto, which is basically the multi-pen version of Pilot’s Hi-Tec-C line.  It has many color and size options, and even with up to 5 refills in it, it manages to not be bulky and awkward looking.  Naturally when I saw the sleek-looking  Lumio body style of the Coleto I couldn’t resist grabbing it from JetPens to try out. … [Read more…]

I am usually on the fence when it comes to multi-pens, so when my friends at StationeryArt offered to send me over a Pentel Energel Multi Function Pen to try out, I figured it would be a good opportunity to give another one a shot.  It also helped to know that this pen uses the Pentel Energel ink, which I have used before and really enjoyed. … [Read more…]

I’ve seen the Zebra Sharbo X around some of my favorite office supply review sites such as The Pen Addict, and there have been tons of people asking if i have used one and plan on reviewing one, so I figured I should just take the plunge and see how it goes.  Back in November I finally ordered the Zebra Sharbo X Carbon Fiber Multi Pen Review from JetPens and have been using it daily since then, is it the best multi pen out there?  Well my verdict on this … [Read more…]

When it comes to office supplies, the multi pen seems to be something that causes great consternation, but with any luck the Uniball Stlye Fit might change things a bit.  I feel as if for every positive piece of feedback on a multi-pen there are 5 negative pieces of feedback from someone else on that same pen, so I was excited when I first heard about this pen from The Pen Addict, who first saw it on the Scription blog.  Lucky for me, JetPens.com recently … [Read more…]

OK, so don’t pretend like you didn’t have a BIC 4-color ballpoint and you loved it, because I did (and now do again) and it was the best pen ever at the time.  I was thrilled when I came across this pen on my recent trip to Boston at Bob Slate Stationer.  It was a great store with a ton of awesome office supplies, and I just couldn’t pass this pen up.  If you dont live near a Bob Slate Stationer, you can also pick up this classic on Amazon.com in multiple … [Read more…]
