Zebra Tect 2way 1000 Drafting Pencil - 0.7 mm - Blue Body

I love the weight and balance of this writing implement. The 3 rings upfront give a very nice, unobtrusive grip, and the device handles exceptionally well. My only complaint is that the very front of the pencil sometimes becomes loose after extensive use. Still, a beautiful piece of work that I always look forward to using.

A nice sturdy pencil with some good weight too it.
It's fun and pretty stylish, always gets my friends lookin like it's from the future or something.
The pencil is really strong and I love it, nice and comfy in the hand. I like shaking it to get the lead out and having it work with the click-top is a good way to warm up to the new feature without feeling too uncomfortable.

"Freedom of choice! The Tect 2way is the first drafting pencil of its kind to offer BOTH a shaker AND a click lead extension function!"

No so, unless the Pilot Shaker Pencil H-1010 is newer than the Zebra. I had a Pilot Shaker well over15 years ago! I don't think that the Zebra is that old!

I've been using this pencil for a while now and I love it.
The weight feels just right in my hand and it write very smoothly. I sometimes forget the 'Shaker' feature and forget to use it, but its a neat feature to the pencil...

MY only teeny gripe with the pencil is the whole eraser mechanism is kinda weak....there is a lot of play in the mechanism holding the eraser. When I try to erase something, the eraser just isn't sturdy, it wobbles a lot and I end up having to eraser harder. In the end I just dig out my Art Gum and keep that handy instead of using the pencil's eraser. I'm assuming this is happening because of the 'Shaker' feature, but I could be wrong.
OTHER then that, the pencil feels very durable, comfortable and i like the orange color alot, I just ordered another one today...=)

GET MORE!!!!

I bought this pencil a while ago when I was in Japan. I paid about $12 and fell in love with it. Easy to use, functions well. Nice grip, and weighted perfectly. Sadly mine was ruined when something spilled in it. I really want another one but every time I come here it is sold out. Get some more in stock so I can buy it!!!
