This pencil is unbelievably incredible! As a very picky pencil user, I have
absolutely no major complaints about this pencil. Here are the things I love
about this pencil: the grip, shaker ability, aesthetics, and weight. In my
opinion, very few mechanical pencils have grips that are smooth and at the same
time have traction. This one does. The weight and feel of this pencil is also
terrific, as the pencil fits naturally into my hand and just feels right when
writing. I am also a fan of the alpha-gel by uni-ball, and I must say that this
is a strong rival to that pencil line.
I bought this pencil, and the Uni Alpha Gel HD. I must say that this one is
better. I thought that the Alpha Gel would be better because it is softer, but
it is actually harder to write with. This one is not as soft, but it is a solid
pencil; I prefer using this pencil over the Uni Alpha Gel any day.
Absolutely perfect pencil in every way. Pilot really knows what they are doing
when it comes to mechanical pencils.
The good: -Aesthetically pleasing, with subtle color accents if you choose -Very ergonomic and easy to write with -Shaker mechanism is the best on the market -Grip is perfect shape and good mix between soft and hard -Pencil weight and balance are optimal -Eraser is one of the best on a mechanical pencil -Doesn't break lead very easily
The bad: -None
For the price this pencil is an absolute must-buy. I would gladly pay $20 for
this pencil.
Shaker works extremely well. The grip is amazing. The only problem with this
pencil, as others have said, is that it collects a lot of dust on the grip.
That is only a small con. I highly recommend this pencil. Thanks jet pens :)!
This is better than the others and cost more not because its full black. But it
has dual layer for the best pencil stability and comfort. It could be the
ugliest color in the world but it it has the dual layer it will be worth more
Probably the best mechanical pencil I've ever used(though I have not yet tried
the Alpha Gel Mentioned in the review below so I cannot verify if it's true or
not). It fits naturally into my hand and is quite comfortable for long writing
sessions. Not to mention that the shaker feature is extremely useful for speed
writing. I haven't used any other pencil since I got this.
The best mechanical pencil! It is very comfortable and I LOVE the shaker
feature, plus the internal mechanism lasts MUCH longer than any pencil that I
have used over the past 50 years.
