Platinum Pen Executive Three Action PDA Stylus (Stainless)

Summary: These are great pens
Review: I have been using pens from the Platinum Company for about three years now, and I am extremely pleased with them. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I have had no trouble switching between pencil, pen, and PDA stylus. I think it is well made. It is not made out of metal, so it is not as heavy as the picture suggests, but it is still very robust. Whenever I lose mine, I replace it. I have also ordered replacement ink cartridges on several occasions, and it is easy enough to replace them. I am very satisfied with this pen.

Summary: Great 3-in-1 pen
Review: I have looked at other 3-in-1 pens but this is the one that caught my eye. First of all, it looks and feels great. The pen has some substance and it actually helps when writing on your PDA (personal digital assistant) versus the provided stylus. It is also cheap enough that you don't feel that you're making a huge investment in a fancy stylus that you might lose. The pen is also great when using it as a pen or mechanical pencil. Just turn the upper portion and the tip changes from stylus to pen. The pencil is located on the opposite side of the pen. The ink flows very well on any type of paper. The pen even comes with an eraser (located when you unscrew the top of the pen). It is a great gift for any PDA user as well as your favorite gadget fiend, I mean friend.

Summary: Overall Disappointed.
Review: This combo pen is a 3-star product in appearance and functionality, but feels cheap. The weight of the pen is fine, but the mechanical function is not crisp. The pencil lead loading function is very difficult and slow. I am not planning on returning the pen, but would recommend against ordering it.
