Reviews around cap (2.25 of 5)

  • After only the second week of classes I lost the metal cap to my pencil
  • Works perfect as if it was the original cap, better yet, they're basically free
  • I use Pentel Z21 eraser refills and this has happened with more than one, so the cap is the culprit.
  • I do wish it had an option for a larger, super durable eraser and no rear cap.
  • Keep it capped and protected under the metal piece, buy a nice polymer plastic eraser to accompany this pencil

Reviews around bite (2.25 of 5)

  • This pencil is very well built and feels premium, but I do not use it much anymore as it is a bit too heavy in the hand for me to write with, and I prefer to use pencils with better erasers
  • it's a bit hard to put onto your shirt pocket if you have a sweater.
  • I found the lead would break off quite a bit when writing, which is aggravating
  • I think that for long periods of time, the grip might be a bit too hard for me - so I'll just take breaks because this one is a keeper.

  • Love these pencils--great weight and feel... the graphite will break if pressing too hard but it is a good drafting pencil
  • you push the button on top to expose the tip/lead and the clip doubles as a button to retract the tip when pressed
  • Love these pencils--great weight and feel... the graphite will break if pressing too hard but it is a good drafting pencil
  • while pressing the button on the pencil device just broke apart by itself
  • The one problem with this feature is that a couple of times something in my pocket has pressed the button to extend the tip, and then the sharp tip punches a little hole in the pocket

Reviews around hole (1.53 of 5)

  • This means that you're able to retract the tip when you're storing it, which helps prevent damage to the tip as well as accidental damage (read: holes) in whatever you're storing it
  • the lead would easily break off in my pocket, the plastic parts could get damaged, and the points would either poke holes in the pockets (not nice when it's a leather jacket), or poke holes in me when I reached in to get them.
  • Also, the fragile tip recesses when you put it in your pocket, so you don't poke holes in your clothes or damage the tip.
  • The one problem with this feature is that a couple of times something in my pocket has pressed the button to extend the tip, and then the sharp tip punches a little hole in the pocket
  • I use them with INCRA rules and find that the pointed shape of this pencil makes hitting the right hole easier
