4 out of 5 stars Close, but no cigar   August 29, 2008
J. A. Morrow (Seattle, WA United States)
A handsome pen with three tip options, pretty easy to grip, does a valiant if ultimately hopeless job of making my nerdiness a bit more covert. I believe this pen is made for Cross by Yasutomo and Yasutomo has lots of experience with this type of multipoint mechanism. However, this particular version of the mechanism is largely plastic and suffers for it in durability. The first one of these pens I owned seized up after about a year and attempts to lubricate it (with WD40) actually seemed to worsen (partially dissolve the plastic?) seizure. These make nice gifts for people who tend to lose pens within a year.


4 out of 5 stars Great multi-function but black ink quality is poor   July 16, 2008
Chris M. Morris (Bells, TN)
As an engineer I carry my Tech3 religiously. It is a fantastic pen if you need the multi functions. I've tried several on the market and the Tech3 is the best. Plan on getting a stock of refills from Cross as the ink volume is low.

My only complaint is that the black ball point function writes poorly. This includes the original black and one from two different refill packages. A 25 cent Bic Stick writes better than my Tech3 in black mode.



5 out of 5 stars Sleek, refined AND multifuntional - perfect pen   July 3, 2008
Maggie Simpson (Boston, MA)
Cross has gotten this pen right. They offer a unique multifunctional pen with the perfect complement of red ink, black ink and mechanical pencil all in one unit. And they made it sleek and professional looking...worthy of any executive suite. I use both pen and pencil so the Tech 3 proves very convenient - no more searching my desk for multiple pens. Given the proliferation of touch screen phones/blackerries/etc, not having the stylus does not detract from this pen (usually offered as a fourth function on other multi pens). I have small hands which makes the smaller-than-typical diameter of the barrel very ergonomic and easy to use. I also prefer its lighter-than-typical weight (almost similar to regular cross pen offerings). I did not find slipping a problem - I did get the satin black finish versus the chrome. Rarely has a product stood out so superior to other available alternatives, that I felt compelled to write this review.

This is a very useful tool and works very well it has yet to fail at all. The only problem with it is the cost of replacement ink.
