Cross Tech3+ Refillable Multi-Function Ballpoint Pen with Stylus, Medium Ballpen And Pencil, Includes Premium Gift Box - Pearl White

Overall, these are just awesome pens like the other Cross products. I own the other Tech 3 pens in every color offered, even the hard to find chrome and gold, so I purchased this new white and the blue 3+ just for the colors. My job requires an extensive amount of daily writing and I use all three of the writing functions quite a bit. The newer Tech 3+ has a different pencil mechanism than the previous Tech 3, so I'll withhold comments as to whether it is an improvement until I spend more time using it. Every time I offer my pen to someone to sign documents, they always comment on what nice pens I use. I carry two at time for use throughout the day and rotate them out every month or so for a change. The stylus function isn't important to me and the little eraser is all but worthless, in my opinion. Because the Tech 3 satisfies all of my pen/pencil needs, I'm thinking of selling my collection of single function Cross products that I've acquired over the years and use this line extensively. I only buy new ones if I lose one (which is rare) or a new color comes available. They can be a bit pricey at full retail, so try and find them discounted a much as possible.

I'm a nurse and anyone who is a nurse knows that it is almost mandatory to have an array of pens in one's pocket during the course of a shift. This pen obviates that need and does it elegantly. They stylus is perfect for when I use my smartphone and I always have the right colour ink to hand when I need it. The pencil and eraser have come in handy, more than I expected, and as I am notorious for misplacing things, I clutch the stylus tip in my hand when I am using the eraser. My only beef and the reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I do not like the Cross refills. I prefer "fine" tips on my pens and the Cross "fine" is not as fine as I would like and the ink doesn't flow smoothly. So I use the Platinum SBSP-120S 0.5mm extra-fine tip refills (any D1 mini refills will do). Perfect!

I have had several of these pens and other Cross pens and love them because they are so versatile. I inherited one from my father. My only complaint is that when one of the broke - the mechanics weren't working properly - I returned it to Cross to take advantage of the guarantee... they sent it back in the same condition. They are unable to repair. Now that I have a new one with the instructions I might be able to fix the one that is broken.Future advice: Before you purchase a Cross Pen check to be sure that the guarantee actually means that they can and will repair your pen.

It’s very nice looking pen

After using this pen for a few months I am pretty disappointed. The red and black ink work fine but the pencil barely works. It appears to be out of lead because no matter how many times you click the pen lead doesn't come out. When it does come out it pushes back in when you apply pressure. The pearl white also looks awful after just a few months. It looks dirty because the white is wearing off quickly. I love the idea of this pen but am not satisfied with the quality.

I absolutely LOVE this pen. It writes great, is easy to switch between red/black ink and pencil; and the pearl colored finish is absolutely beautiful. From someone with a love of writing instruments I highly recommend this pen/pencil combo.

The pen itself is nice. Refills were in the box as promised. No polishing/cleaning cloth to be found.

The functionality cartridges and flow of ink and lead are perfect. The pearl color is mild. Arrived as ordered and on time.
