Pencil worked well for a.couple of weeks other than the loose eraser cap

I actively tried not to lose the cap of the Staedtler pencil I had before

I always keep my finger over it now just as a preventative measure.2: if you press a little too hard when extending the tip out it also extends the lead out another click and you end up having to readjust it.3: the cap over the eraser is useless to me

LOST YOUR ERASER CAP

It's a good pencil, but I lost the metal cap and I don't see a way to buy it separately.

Writing point snaps well back into the nose to protect the lead when you have finished writing; and pops out again when you depress the cap.

I do wish it had an option for a larger, super durable eraser and no rear cap.

After only the second week of classes I lost the metal cap to my pencil

the eraser is small and is hidden under the top cap.

Woe betide you if you lose the end cap though.

I use Pentel Z21 eraser refills and this has happened with more than one, so the cap is the culprit.

You are bound to lose that cap, because you have to take it off to get access to the eraser

Keep it capped and protected under the metal piece, buy a nice polymer plastic eraser to accompany this pencil

Works just as you would expect but with a level of refined luxury to it.

Not to thrilled over this as I cannot tell if it has been used previously

I am pretty light on my stuff and don't consider myself an abuser so this was pretty disappointing and frustrating as it did not even last a full year.

Works perfect as if it was the original cap, better yet, they're basically free

The pencil lasts a very long time I bought mine last year July around this time and it still works just as good as when I first got it

A wonderfully well-made mechanical pencil -- as good as the ones I purchased during engineering school in the 1980's!!Smooth operations, good feeding of the lead, and the pointy tip retracts into the barrel, so no more holes in my pockets!I love it - ordered two more for use at home and at work.

The pencil disappoints as it failed too early for the price charged.

I would just say not to press too hard on the lead because it will break as it is very thin lead

I love Pentel lead as it is smooth going down on paper.
