This pencil is okay overall...., February 12, 2010
This pencil is okay overall. It is a shaky and thats about the only good thing
about it. It has a grip, but it is not squishy like the agel. Also, I can trick
my friends into thinking that this is a red pen.

I got this pencil from my gf and it is freaking awesome. She was complaining
about how cruddy my handwriting was from using those fat dr.grip mechanical
pencils so she gave this to me and I have been using it ever since. It is pure
awesomeness :D
I like the way the pencil is compatible for those of you who are in high school
and your teachers speak very fast in the way you could just shake it. The grip
is still okay, but if you push too hard on it, you could get the imprint on
your fingers. :P Overall, the pencil itself is OK, the grip is kinda annoying
still.
The Pilot Super Grip 2020 is one of my favorite mechanical pencils. This pencil
is well balanced and writes well. Its grip is really great, and it allows you to
write for a good amount of time. I must say though, if you use it for too long,
depending on how you hold the pencil, your fingers may get worn out. The shaking
mechanism is very unique, but I fell that it makes the inside of the front of
the pencil more dirty, due to loose graphite particles. Its still fun to use
though.
