A sturdy mechanical pencil
Finally a mechanical pencil that writes dark enough to see. When you press on paper to write the lead does not break an experience I've had with a competitor. One annoying thing is when you use the eraser it slips back into the pencil body. Overall I'm enjoying it.

Love it
This is a great mechanical pencil (next to a drafting pencil). Probably the best on the market. The only draw back is the eraser; it tends to retract when using so I suggest using a separate eraser.

Fair to middling quality
I've purchased/used several of these. The pads/cushions where your finger tips rest wear off and the erasers tend to recess when used as the screw mechanism turns too easily. On my most recent pencil the small conical section from which lead protrudes often retracted although the lead did not so lead frequently broke. I saved the eraser and tossed the pencil.

Top rated by my Teenager
My junior in high school prefers this style of mechanical pencil over all others. She likes the variety of colors and the stability and durability of this brand. The cheaper ones break a lot. These last more than one school year if she doesn't lose it.
