I couldn't believe my precious, beloved $12 pencil broke after 3 months

With daily use in college over two years I have had no problems with anything on the pencil breaking

The plastic components inside the pencil broke after a couple months of daily use.

That was less than six months ago, and just today my second pencil broke

Unfortunately, the pencil broke after 3.5 months of use

I was surprised, but not completely taken aback when my first pencil broke, as it had been several years

Both of my pencils broke in this manner

After about 3 months this pencil broke where the blue plastic barrel/grip meets the metal body

Loves i!

Also the extend/rectract action is just so satisfying to use when I my hand needs to fidget.

I bought the 0.5mm use with Pentel HB lead as I like the darkness of it when I use it for drawing and shadowing

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.
