Needs eraser refills
Seams to work fine. My major problem with this product is the fact that neither my local staples store nor online carries the eraser refills.

Buy this product again.
This is one of the best pencils that I have found. I had surgery on my hand it is great. It is not to big or small just the right size and the writing is smooth and the grip makes it comfortable.
