This pencil is really good, especially for its price. Since I had never tried a 0.3 mm pencil before and wasn't sure if I would like it, I got this one because it was inexpensive. And I love it! The pencil has a really nice click to it and its very comfortable to hold. It writes really smooth, much better than some more expensive pencils I have. Now 0.3 mm pencils are the only ones I use!

It is exactly what I was expecting and what I wanted! The pencil has a good weight to it with a very fine and steady point. Also it's barrel is soft and cushioned~ I couldn't ask for anything more~ ^u^

I bought my first AirBlanc in Japantown, San Francisco. When I went back for more, they were sold out. A few months later JetPens began carrying them. I immediately bought 6 more. As a geologist, I do a lot of field mapping and I love using 0.3mm lead on my maps. With the cost of most 0.3mm pencils, I was afraid of losing them in the field, which happens A LOT! With the colors available and the price, I don't worry about this any more.

I have to admit I was a little skeptical about the whole, hand cooling system. BUT I was amazed to find that it actually was true! My fingers tips always get this warm, uncomfortable sensation when I'm drawing, and the main reason I bought this pencil was because of it's price, and the small 0.3mm lead. But with this little cutie wasn't getting the warmth anymore. The colors are beautiful pastels, and are at the small length of almost 5 1/2 inches. Which in my opinion is very cute for a pencil. It's also thin, and the grip isn't to cushy, but it is very smooth. I absolutely adore this product, and would recommend it to anyone! The only problem I can see with this pencil is that the eraser runs down rather quickly. But that's basically with any mechanical pencil...

First of all I would like to say that pilot did a really good job with this pencil. I practically use it everyday now. The price is great for a 0.3 pencil. The only reason i gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because the grip attracts a lot of lint and dirt. I can't stand that, so I find my self rubbing it off the grip every couple of minutes.

GREAT PENCIL!!! AND ONLY 3 BUCKS... WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS BUY IT!!!

I bought the white one because I like the color and the other colors are too feminine for my taste. For my money (very little of it) this is an excellent pencil. I own a bunch of more expensive pencils (like a staedtler 925-35, ohto promecha, uni shift, a few pentels, a platinum, etc. {yes i'm a geek}) (I had a Smash but lost it :(... ) and I strangely find myself constantly reaching for this one. The grip is great but what I really like is the weight and feel. It's cheap enough where I don't worry bout breaking or losing it and yet it looks simple and cool enough to enjoy its looks while I use it. Not everybody likes a heavy pencil, although I do enjoy them on occasion, what I like is a pencil that I can forget about as I draw but still appreciate as I don't. I wish I could describe more accurately why I like it so much but I'm not sure I even know. For me, this doesn't take away from my enjoyment but adds to it. This pencil blows all other pencils in it's price range ($3!) into oblivion.

i love this pencil! it has a comfortable grip that always keeps my hand cool, even when im writing up those tedious LA assignments or taking those stressful algebra tests. i got one for me and my friend and its an amazing pencil, especially for the price. the lead rarely snaps, and the metal tip (which isnt common for $3 pencils) keeps the writing stable and smooth.

I bought this over 6 months ago. What can I say. I am completely thrilled to have bought it! Its surprisingly sturdy for a little pencil and the lead doesnt break all that easily unless you are writing too hard with it. Personally, I enjoy drawing with it, because I loooove the thin lines. The only thing I dont like about it, is the erasers area. You get this good at least an inch worth of eraser however you can only use about 1/3 of that because the rest is IN the pencil hidden away until the part you can use is gone.

Other than that, I love it. Its good to have a kneaded eraser with you when using this product _3

IRRESISTABLY CUTE!!!!!

This pencil is so good. I love doing math and science with it because it's lines are so clean and thin and make it easy for me to think on paper. Get this pencil! My hands sont feel icky and sweaty after I write with it a lot and the grip is comfortable. I'm really picky with my pencil grips because I grip my pencil really low, but this pencil was fine. Buy it!

For a $3.00 mechanical pencil, this thing is simply awesome. Given it's low price tag, I don't see a good reason for anyone not to order this thing, even if it's just for novelty. It even looks awesome. Excellent value for money.

One of the best 0.3 mm Mechanical Pencil I've bought, smooth to write with, all the time.....

I REALLY like this pencil. It's the perfect size, and writes very smoothly. Very good for this price.

This pencil is absolutely wonderful. The lead size is just perfect! It writes very smooth and the grip is very comfortable. It is the perfect lead pencil for me. The eraser is also great to erasing small areas.

I use hard lead and write soft, even so, sometimes the lead still snaps. The only problem I've experienced is that the silver part will become loose after a little while. Twisting it back on fixes the problem, but I know when to do it because the change in control is noticeable. Also, when I click the lead down, it doesn't always stay, sometimes it goes back up the barrel and getting lead to come out for a new piece takes at least 10 clicks. When it's working well and while writing it's totally comfortable though. It's definitely worth the 3 bucks, but not much more.

Very nice mechanical pencil! I have a sort of death grip on my pencils, yet the lead hasn't broken, no matter what type I use! The air conditioning in the grip does work, although I haven't really thoroughly tested it out. I really like the lightness of the pencil (small hands) and I was surprised to find the tip was actually metal. Good, inexpensive pencil. The 0.3 mm lead lets me cram lots of notes and not waste paper.

for the price it's really good :) Sometimes small pieces of lead get stuck in the tip and I have to spend ages getting it out...but the grip is really nice and I've done a lot with it!

Cheap and useful, great for detailed drawing. Taking notes, however, is a bit troublesome. I find the lead easier to break when writing, would recommend this for artists though!

Really good pencils for a really cheap price. My only problem is that they sell out so fast!

I have the pink one, and now I am shopping for more! It really motivates me to write thin lines, with a loose grip to prevent a callus building on my finger. As an added benefit, I am able to write clearly and in a more organized manner. I highly highly recommend it !

Air-filled grip works great at keeping my finger tips cool. It's firm, but not hand fatiguing firm.

Looks cute. That's a plus, right?

Feels like I need to rotate the pencil more often. Probably due to the .3mm lead.

Almost writes too smooth on Clairefontaine paper. I like a little friction when writing with mechanical pencils, especially when solving math problems.
