me well. It's got a mostly plastic construction and does feel a little flimsy at
times, but it hasn't shown any major signs of wear after a year of pretty much
constant usage. The shaker and click mechanism feel solid, and I haven't yet had
issues with jams etc. A good little pencil overall.

 I bought this pencil..., May 9, 2011I bought this pencil After purchasing and orange Zebra 2way 1000. I liked that
pencil and I liked the look of this white one, so I thought, What the heck.....
However after using both pencils daily, I'd use my Zebra 2way 1000 over this
white one any day.
This feels cheap at times, I'm afraid I might break it...whereas when I use my
Zebra 1000, I feel like I could write a novel and it would survive till the
end.
So if you want a sturdy, nice, pencil that you want to LAST, get one of the
1000s...

 I bought this pen, although..., October 20, 2011I bought this pen, although not from Jet Pens. The shake mechanism intrigued me.
It didn't feel so solid at times and then later it did. So far it has been a
very good pen and I love to write with it. I do wish to figure out how to
disassemble it just in case it happens to break, which hasn't worked out for me
yet. Besides that, it is really good.

While I already have..., November 25, 2010
While I already have a handful of shaker pencils, none of them looked
particularly cool. I wanted a stylish high-end mechanical pencil that could
become my main drawing instrument but it had to have a shaker mechanism!
The Zebra Tect 2way fit the bill as a high-end mechanical pencil/low-end
drafting pencil.
I love the way it looks and feels! The manual and shaking lead advancement feels
refined. I plan on buying a blue 0.7 one for use with blue lead.
A couple of comments based on other reviews:
The Tect 2way has a 4mm fixed lead sleeve which is standard equipment on
drafting pencils. Care must be taken not to bend it. However, the Pentel
Graphgear has a retractable tip for those looking for a drafting pencil that
they can chuck in a backpack or something.
Also, the Tect 2way may not be the first mechanical pencil with a shaker
mechanism but it is probably the first drafting pencil with a shaker mechanism.

There are much better pencils at this price or even lower.
