Pilot Dr. Grip 4+1, 4 Color 0.7 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen & 0.5 mm Mechanical Pencil - Black Body (BKHDF1SFN-B)

An excellent pen, if you only want to carry one pen this will do it all. I like the pencil and rubber for crosswords and the Pilot ballpoints rank with the best writing first time with no smudges

Feels great a bit heavy. However pen is too thick. And when writing, it does cut off and on. Its not consistent.

The pens writes beautifully but it broke within a month for me. the clip that activates the pencil mechanism is the weak point.

The Pilot Dr. Grip 4+1 Multi Pen is hands-down one of the best writing instruments I’ve ever used. It perfectly combines practicality, comfort, and quality in one sleek design. The four ballpoint ink colors (black, blue, red, and green) glide smoothly with no skipping or blotting, and the built-in 0.5 mm mechanical pencil is a brilliant touch for quick notes or precision work. Switching between colors and pencil mode is effortless — just a click and you’re ready to go. The Dr. Grip barrel truly lives up to its reputation for comfort. It has a well-balanced, slightly weighted feel that reduces hand fatigue during long writing or note-taking sessions. The black body gives it a professional, understated look that fits right in at the office or in a classroom. I also love how refillable and sustainable it is — you can replace each ink cartridge and even the pencil lead, making it a long-term investment rather than a disposable pen. If you’re someone who writes often and values convenience without compromising on performance, the Pilot Dr. Grip 4+1 is worth every penny.

Good

There's not much to say: the gels write precisely and smooth as butter in vibrant colors. It writes better than any other gel pen or ballpoint I tried, other than more expensive Pilot gel pens. The mechanical pencil is... a mechanical pencil. The grip is very comfortable, though people with small hands may find it too thick. I've read reports of the clip breaking off, but I've been carrying one of these at the bottom of a bag for about a year without the slightest problem. The only reason I bought others is to have different body colors and to have spares lying around in case I forget to carry one. It says it all: people I lend it to usually end up buying one of their own.
