Pros & Cons
Pros
I'm no pencil snob but i'm more than happy with my purchase. There is also that super childish part of me that is really happy about its colour too.
This pencil is extremely well-made, with the all metal (aircraft aluminium, afaik) exterior contruction and mostly-metal interior components. It feels really high quality and has a good weight to it. A leader in the industry forever.
Cons
The mechanical pencil has a fatal flaw that renders it unusable. The tip bends easily and breaks off and because of this, the lead breaks off every time you apply the slightest bit of pressure. The weight of the pencil is also disappointing.

Upholding the high standards of the staedtler brand.
The protective extension sleeve at the holder's leading lead end gets in way of using a staedtler rotary lead sharpener.
