My new favorite pencil!

Solidly built and even though the barrel is plastic, it is thick and could probably withstand a good beating. The click is very solid and advances the perfect amount of lead out. The eraser is tiny but thats the same thing that can be said about just about every other drafting pencil... Get a Staedtler Mars stick eraser.

In regards to the knurled grip... It is perfect! I dont know how there is people complaining about the "roughness" and how their fingers hurt after using this pencil. This is quite possibly the best grip Ive ever felt. This is a drafting pencil after all and serious manual drafting requires precise control of your writing instrument and this grip gives you that. You could still hold onto this thing if it was coated in cooking oil! Anyone complaining about the rough grip needs to put down their pencil, go outside, do some real manly yard work and develop some stronger fingers and skin and stop using your girlfriends moisturizing lotion every hour! Leave this pencil for us real professionals and go pick up a pink Bic.

My only complaint (if you can even call it that) is the fact that when you write a certainw ay, the metal cap over the eraser wobbles about 1mm side to side inside the end of the barrel making it rattle ever so slightly... I fixed this but using a very very tiny square of the sticky portion of a post it note, adhered to the side of the cap so that it fits between the side of the cap and the inside of the barrel, creating a shim of sorts. No more rattles except spare lead inside the thing!
