Best multifunction writing instruments according to redditors

Lots of companies make this style. This one is better than some as it's metal and not plastic. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M70FNVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_41rwCbW3JDZZE

It's the Rotring Trio. Black ink, red ink and pencil.

This is what you want, Pilot Hi-Tec Coleto. It's fully customizable in terms of colors and comes in 0.3 or 0.4 etc. https://www.amazon.com/Hi-tec-c-Coleto-Component-Rubber-Refills/dp/B0773HM8MG

the skilcraft b3 avator blows them both out of the water. made by blind americans for a third of the cost of a rotring. nonreflective finish.

Zebra multicolor ballpoint pen. I have sworn by this pen since med school. I've probably gone through at least 8 of them by now and none were stolen. That's saying something for 2 full years of clerkships and writing multicolor notes for weeks on end. They are ultra smooth, fine tipped ballpoint and write forever. And they also come with a pencil built in. For whatever reason, I've found these are way smoother and better quality than all of the other zebra pens.

HOLY SHIT HE AIN'T LYIN...

Too bad we'd all drown if our supply guy had to order air.

Relieved in more ways than one that I had this pen with me. I would have had to put my bag on the gross floor and watched the loose handle with anxiety in case someone pulled it open.

It's the 6 in 1 multi tool pen.

It's a fun pen but I don't think it would be recommended on r/pens (due to build quality and lack of superb refill options). If anyone knows of a higher-quality version, or of one with a bigger bit for the Phillips and Flathead please let me know.

You need the Pilot Hi-TecC-Coleto. You can find it on amazon or Jet Pens or something. I attached a link for the one on Amazon. These used to be cheaper, but idk what happened. Just be mindful that on Amazon, some places are selling the body and ink refills separately. This one I included seems to package it together

The one I have was discontinued. The closest thing would be the Rotring Trio, but I also have one of those, and it's not quite as good. The multipen I have is the same design as the Rotring Rapid Pro line, which are all very good pens and pencils.

Ayy I'm also just getting back into drawing. Not pencils, but you should also get some felt-tip pens. These work well, but I've also just used sharpie pens. I've also found getting a transparent ruller to be helpful for perspective stuff.

I know it's pricey but, have you considered this?

4 Color pen AND a 5mm pencil in one. It takes up such little room in my bag. I am not a fan of ballpoint pens usually, but these are great. Comes in tons of colors if you look at other listings.

Having a multi-pen like this, I don't have to carry a bunch of pens with me. It has three colors of ballpoint ink and a mechanical pencil.
