This simple piece of equipment just keeps on working

Unfortunately, someone broke off a piece of lead in

handle is solid piece of metal and not a thin gauge, flimsy, stamped version like many others are.

A good decorative and functional piece.

CHEAP PIECE OF JUNK

I only mention that so if you are a teacher and need to sit down to do this, you will want yo cover the black rigid piece on end of handle or put a guard on your finger
