I use these for work. While they're very good they're not quite my favorite. The main difference is the "shock absorber" in the tip. The shock absorber has both good and bad points. Good: It keeps you from breaking lead and bending the tip of the pencil. Even slightly bending the tip of one of these will cause the lead to break repeatedly and makes the pencil a bit frustrating to use. Bad: It keeps you from drawing very dark lines. Overall, it's very good and on the better end of the spectrum of mechanical pencils I've used.Great pencil, been using these since high school 14 years agoI absolutely love my new pencil!! It’s the perfect weight in my hand, it has rubber grip for my fingers, the eraser is a great size and it has a clip and it came with refill lead.I would like to mention that even during quarantine, my item arrived quickly!!My go to mechanical pencil. Just be careful with the lead sleeve. My other pencil's lead sleeve somehow bent and now when I push the button to get more lead, the bent sleeve is cutting the lead into small pieces. Thus, I had to order a new pencil and ordered the same pencil because I do think it's one of the best out there.works wellI'm left handed and have a lot of pain in my left hand when I write usually. Been using this thing exclusively for the past 2 months on all of my homework (Math and Physics mostly). I don't have to press down hard or grip it hard, the heavier weight feels perfect, and I write a lot cleaner than with other writing products (Staedtler products included).I just LOVE this mechanical pencilIt is sturdy, smooth to write withI found it at a store, but it was more expensiveSo I ordered it on AmazonI saved moneyWorth of waiting :)I love Staedtler pencils. They write well.I'm not a professional draftsman, artist or anyone who needs a high performance mechanical pencil . I frankly wouldn't aporeciate the difference between one of those and this one. That said I've had one of these before and they worked fine for occasional usage . If you're just looking for a general mechanical pencil you can't go wrong with thisReally a great, sturdy pencil even though it's entirely plastic. Lightweight as well, which I value. But, the title of this product is personally awfully misleading. This pencil is only about $9 at retail stores, but here it's $20. So, I assumed that the 12 extra lead refills meant that it came with 12 individual containers of lead refills, not one with 12 leads in it.It might seem silly but I only bought this because I wanted more 0.7 Staedtler lead, but couldn't find any on Amazon. I already plenty of pencils, a bunch from Staedtler even. Now I have one more, and not that much lead to go around.C'est mon pousse-mine de prédilection. Durable, bonne tenue de main, de bonne qualité. Ca vaut la peine de payer un peu plus cher afin d'avoir une énorme différence de qualité. Ce crayon est simplement parfait.I am doing a language course and need to do exercises and correct afterwards. This is just what I wanted.Me gustaría que la mina fuese un poco más resistente
