This pencil works splendidly. The reason I give it a 3 out of 5, though, is
because:
1. it's a pain to have to buy the lead cassettes (it comes with 2 cassettes and
I bought 1 extra and after having used it at school one day, it disappeared with
one of my students, so I had to buy a new one in order to use those two
cassettes that I still had) and
2. The eraser is a pain to use, as you must twist off the cap (being careful not
to lose it, as it is important for loading new cassettes), and once you do get
to it it's very small.
On the plus side for this pencil, I really enjoyed not having to worry about
juggling the leads--I'm one of those people who typically breaks as many pieces
of lead as I salvage when I'm refilling a pencil. The eraser is also very high
quality, despite being very small. Finally, it's just so much fun to have a
pencil that you can change the appearance of by changing the lead cassette.
All in all, maybe impractical, but definitely fun!
