Pros & Cons
Pros
The lead hardness indicator is also easier to see and read than the pointer that simply points to a stamped hardness on the 780c's clip-band. It comes with one preloaded 2h lead and you'll need to purchase the lead sharpener separately.
The pencil now fits perfectly of i have zero complaints – but staedler really needs to sell a pointer to go along with this pencil).
Cons
The lead breaks inside the shaft for me consistently. This flaw makes it a dealbreaker and nearly unusuable. Won't work with staedtler 2mm rotary action lead pointer.

Highlights
Quality
Amazing quality and easy to hold and control.

With pencils that are 3 times and more the cost.

Competitiveness
It is so much better than the papermate it's replacing.
Therefore, i gave my new staedtler pencil and lead holder, to my son, he just loves them.
I have never owned a rotring or some of the higher end mechanical pencils.
I have staedtler mechanical pencil ranging from 0.

I have 3 other staedtler mars technico 780 c lead holders that work perfectly in the staedtler 502 lead pointer but for some odd reason this beautiful lead holder does not fit in that same lead pointer because it is thicker than the entry to the lead pointer sad face

The cone of the pencil gradually unscrews as i write with my left hand presumably because my unorthodox method of gripping exerts torque near the cone of the pencil
