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

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.

Great pen. Love the pencil aspect to go along with the four ink colors, giving you a great and versatile all in one option instead of carrying five writing instruments, and the larger barrel size is a fantastic grip for larger or arthritic hands. As a ballpoint, the ink flows well and doesn’t smudge a lot which works great as I’m a lefty. My only issue is that the erasers are not the same as the G2 refills, but they look like they’re decently priced and available.

It's a very cool writing tool. Four pens and a mechanical pencil with eraser all in one unit?! The engineering and quality are what you expect from Pilot, top-notch! The form factor takes some getting used to if you haven't used large barrel pens/pencils, but its quite comfortable to hold and write with. I can't do my little pen-spin trick with it as well as with smaller pens, but that's a personal nit.

Wonderful multi-pen. Smooth writing, easy refill, not too expensive.

Not impressed with the ink quality. This is good but not great. Expected more from this brand

I have grip issues due to breaking multiple fingers over the years, so I like to write with a pencil to be able to fix mistakes. I also need to mark up blueprints with notes for my job, so having a big fat writing instrument that can switch between pencil or multiple colors of pen is perfect for me. I've tried the cheap knockoffs of these & there's no comparison at all. These are heavier, sturdier & just work better. I wish they put a better eraser on these. There's definitely room. The stupid little eraser under the cap should just be changed to an eraser the size of the cap. Other than that, these are the perfect pens for me. I've bought more than one & will replace them with this exact same one if I need to.

Works great. I’m an electrician and need to differentiate among a multitude of products on a list, organize my thoughts for describing a task to coworker, or color code circuits on a paper plan. This pen does it all and with the added pencil, depending on the actual task I can use it to do the labor a pencil is needed for as well. I usually carry a pen, pencil, and four markers, black red blue and green for similar purposes as this pilot 4+1. I could even see me using this as an edc pen for signing and figuring receipts or just keeping score during a family game. I highly recommend this pen if you need more than a pen and pencil

I was looking for a pen that had enough colors to prove useful at my engineering job. I currently work in Aerospace across various projects, which often involves me having to write down various multi-faceted notes. I had fallen in love with the Pilot G2 0.7, 0.5, and 0.3mm pens, and I used them extensively during my years in college as they are amazing for note taking, sketching, etc. When I first got them, I was surprised just how smooth, reliable, and easy they were to use, and I immediately bought as big of a box as I could for each of those sizes. After trying this pen, I feel like I cannot to back to any other form of writing ever again. The action of this pen is incredibly flawless and smooth. Literally, my first reaction to trying out this pen was "WOW oh my god!!!". The best part is, while all 4 colored ink pens are incredibly smooth-feeling, the lead pencil is also, somehow, just as (if not even more) smooth as the rest! I have never had a mechanical pencil write as if it were a high-tolerance ballpoint... Just wow! An amazing pen and definitely a MUST HAVE!

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.

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

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.
