It's strong, sturdy, and functional. I enjoy how slim and sturdy it feels. The slim barrel makes my fingers feel agile.

The only signs of wear are on the actual embossed printing on the side. I use it everyday it performs exceptionally well.

I am a gentle & careful user of my pencils but these keep breaking (the mechanism), jamming, etc. Not recommended for serious drafting. Tip of the pencil isn't retractable, and stays out which makes it very liable for breakage.

This is untrue. The product is not returnable nor replaceable.

It has low quality rubber on its top which is very loosely attached. The top half of the pen tube is a very cheap feeling plastic. The knurled fingergrip is very sharp and gets painful to use.

It has no mechanism to automatically advance the lead while you write! The entire lead drops unless i hold it to the amount i want.
