5.0 out of 5 stars Best Value Stylus/Pen I've Found, May 29, 2006

The Avery Tripleclick is the best value stylus pen combination I've found. While I don't find the pencil particularly useful, it is occasionally handy. The pen is comfortable to write with, and the price is hard to beat.

The only minor problems with it are:
1) the difficulty of finding one retail. Since Amazon offers it, that's no longer a problem.
2) the little cap over the eraser. It tends to come off and get lost.
3) the silver paint tends to eventually wear off, leaving the white plastic underneath. I wish they offered it in black or some other plastic color without the silver paint.
None of these is a show-stopper.

Someone gave me a Bic PhD multi-function similar to this and I lost it and was looking for a replacement. I'm a cheap guy, as in I'd rather do the leg work and research a less expensive alternative if one is available. This is approximately $3 cheaper than the Bic, and I found a couple of things I like better about it versus the others out there.

PROS:
1. Keep on turning - most of these multi-function sets allow you to turn two or three times until you hit the last selection, then you have to turn back to select another. This one allows you to just keep right on turning. Makes it faster to find the tip I want.
2. Tip Identification - most of these types have a dot or code you have to stare at through a microscope to figure out what each tip is. This one has a nice small window with the name seen through it. Makes tip selection easier.
3. Price - for what you're getting, this set has an exceptional price on it.
4. Form and function - to date I've not had an issue with any of the selections - pen, pencil or stylus. I sue this in my car all the time when using my GPS. Great for tapping the screen and not leaving those ugly finger prints all over it.

CONS: Only one - the plastic cap that covers the eraser. I've lost mine somewhere. The darned thing just would not stay on, so now my eraser is exposed all the time. No big deal since it's in the car all the time, but it is somewhat frustrating.

Nice looking product. Does not work for capacitive touch screens that detect heat (energy). A little frustrating since I read a lot of reviews and must have missed it. Darn.
