Summary: Not bad
Comment: Not a bad pen at all. Nice feel and good weight. I changed the highlighter with a stylus and the black to blue ink. Not the best I've had, but for someone who doesn't want to carry a pocketfull of writing instruments around, it does a good job.

Summary: A quest for the perfect fast multipen
Comment: Well my pen did work. I think how it uses "gravity" to switch between pens is neat but its also slow and awkward. I want a multi pen that is faster to use than using two pens. So far no luck.
How the "gravity" switch works. You hold the pen parallel with the floor. Rotate the barrel so the label of the pen type you want is facing up. Then push the plunger. Then push the release button. Hold horizontal, Rotate again and push the plunger to get a different pen. To many steps for me to fast enough.
Also the "highlighter" is more of a bright orange ball point ink pen. Not one of those soft tip ones.

Summary: Junk Pen
Comment: Nice concept, but just doesn't work well. The orange highlighter is practically useless and worked so poorly that I asked the seller to send me another one to replace it. The second one had its own issues and the highlighter was only marginally better. But, still not good enough to actually use. The pen is now in pen drawer covered by much better $1 pens.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good engineering, poor performance.
Comment: I work in field of surveying and I need a multi-pen that works in all types of weather and temperatures. When I received this pen, the highlighter did not work, and I found it hard to load the 0.5 mm lead into the pen. When I first took the pen into the field, the lead would break into small pieces and make writing hard, and the tip of the lead pencil would constantly come undone inside the pen. I found it extremely difficult to keep up with the movement of the field crews as the pen required constant maintenance. The black pen finally failed and I no longer use the pen. I also found it extremely difficult to reload the 0.5 mm lead. If you are looking for a durable, long lasting pen, for outside work, this is not a good choice.

Summary: Staedtler(R) Multi-4(TM) Multipurpose Writing Instrument
Comment: I have mixed thoughts about this instrument.
It is extremely useful to have a pen and pencil in one instrument and that fact outweighs my reservations about it which are.
1. The pencil has a tendancy to malfunction because the "cone" may come loose.
2. The .05 lead breaks rather easily though one can get used to this, and the finer lead has the advantage of making a fine mark.
3. The highlighter on my instrument doesn't work at all (no great loss).
All that said, I'd probably buy another one. This is the second Staedtler that I've bought and the third instrument of its kind (the other was a Rotring).
