## Description

It is convenient to carry. Cap type ballpoint pen and Mechanical pencil.

Review: Good quality, just really thin - I was missing informed, well not really mis informed, it just doesn't specify that you have to take cap off top to use the pen. I was hoping for something a little faster like a mechanical or similar. Also the pen is super thin, like half the thickness of a pencil. I have bigger hands and 8ts difficult to hang on to, slippery, but I like the metal casing. Other then that, writes great, both ends an durable product. I would recommend it, but I'd make known the thickness. I'm going to give 5 stars simply because i do.t feel a bad rating is appropriate considering most the bad is my preference.
Review: It's the ultimate writing stick - I used to keep a little zebra pen pencil set on my that sold for less than this, but that apparently is revealing of my age. I looked at many options for replacing it when the pencil spring snapped after seven odd years and I ran out of pen refills. This is an amazing little pen that's super handy so long as you've got somewhere convenient and easy to find when you'll likely need it. This is a very small open and pencil in one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for EDC, and convenient to use!
*by C***S on September 16, 2020*

I'm not one to write reviews so I'll start with this: I love this little thing! I'm an engineering student, and sometimes I need a pen and pencil this thing is a neat little combo. When I first got it I was a little worried it was a pilot knock off, primarily because of the Japanese characters. But after using it for a test I can say that this thing writes smoothly. I had to use the pen to sign my name. It writes very smoothly for a ballpoint pen. The mechanical pencil is also quite nice; most mechanical pencils push out too much lead or barely any. This one pushes out small increments, so if you write harshly like me you won't have to push the cap and push the lead in yourself! My only issue is it's a little slim for my fat man fingers. I have another one on the way!
