I do have to slightly agree with the one bad reviewer saying that if you keep it in your shirt pocket the top tends to come off leaving the rest in your pocket because the grip... well grips your pocket.

The grip is comfortable, everything was cool

Pentel's QE515 builds on the A55 with a slightly stronger pocket clip (that still will break if you test its strength) and a bit softer grip

Also, the grip on the pencil is very handy

The grip is comfy

They are very durable, with a comfortable grip and the lead size, 0.9 creates a smooth, textured writing on paper.

Mechanical pencils aren't for everyone but if they're your preferred writing style, you form strong opinions on seemingly small things like how often the lead breaks while writing, how effective the eraser is, how the pencil fits in your hand, how much force you can apply on the eraser before it grinds itself up into a mess on your paper, how long it takes for the pencil to lose grip of the lead and just push it in when you try to write

Thus they learn to use a comfortable grip :)

Good grip

The pencil itself has a nice heft and grip: the part of the barrel that you grasp has a diameter of about 11mm, approx

It doesn't degrade the grip at all - this is the only pencil I've ever used like that

Good grip and thick lead 0.9mm does the job good

A softer grip could have been better.

-The only "wear" is from contact with my hand which has dulled the "chrome" finish to a matte and worn off the brand and size lettering, which I almost consider a bonus.-The plastic is still glossy and the grip looks like new.-I have dropped the thing uncountable times and the only thing that has ever broken was the
