If dropped it will never work correctly again.

Unfortunately, this pencil does have one significant flaw: the tip of the pencil is very fragile and liable to break if dropped

The pencil has real heft, balanced perfectly and looks like it could take a drop from a 10 story building

It has a hefty weight, so one bad drop can permanently damage the sleeve, rendering it useless

One drop and your 30 dollar pencil is worthless

The company is not responsible for my butter fingers, obviously, but if one drop makes these pencils unusable, I say you're paying a lot of money for design flaws.

I'm not clumsy--drops just happen.
