Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I am amazed at how strong and durable this pencil is. It combines exceptional quality, ergonomic design, and durability to deliver an outstanding writing experience. As a note, purchase a separate eraser.

Quality is top-notch. The grip is slightly narrow, but the texture does a lot to fluff it out. I have to make sure to take it home with me as coworkers have ended up loving it.

Cons

The threaded portion of the grip part of the barrel is still broken off inside so this cannot even be repaired. Didn't come in manufacturer's packaging.

Extremely disappointed. Didn't last a year for me. Very frustrating. Not worth a purchase - recommend looking elsewhere.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Easy to grip, weight and balance makes it comfortable to hold.

I am amazed at how strong and durable this pencil is; it has withstood drops and knocks without any damage.

The second one i bought, also broke after a few months.

The point retracts instantly when the top end of the clip is pressed, and descends easily with a single push on the eraser cap.

Price

Anyway, it is affordable, very well balanced, looks great so i’m happy overall and will replace the defective ones.

It’s good value and i’d get another.

While $9 may seem like a lot to spend on a pencil i geniunely think it's worth it for the quality.

Shipping

I contacted the company and their customer service person responded that i could send it to them for repair or replacement—whic... Read More

Packaging/appearance

I took away a star because of the packaging.

It wasn't a retail pack but just loosely tossed into an envelope at amazon.

So, seems like a great product but packaging them without any instructions or specifications seems odd to me.

But, one of mine came in a small, clear plastic bag with no label and conspicuously with no label and no instructions at all.

Competitiveness

It’s even better than cross brand which is in my opinion the standard for all round mechanical pencils.

The luxury may feel a bit alien or intimidating if you are coming off of a twist-erase or clearpoint, but these can take a beating as well.

I have always had good luck with pentel, so i am expecting this to last.

The no-name feels like a drinking straw in comparison.
