Now this is a great pencil!

The freedom to change lead advancement length, guide pipe length, and the hardness indicator is great, especially the first feature.

The grip is alright, I thought it would hurt my hand when writing with it since I'm used to using much softer grips. It feels nice in the hands, however, and writes well.

The pencil feels very solid, which is another one of the main reasons I got it.

I had always used .9mm pencil lead because I write very heavily and was annoyed by .7 and .5 (and of course .3) snapping when I wrote. But with this pencil, the lead seems held in place better and I find myself snapping less, even with the .5 lead.

I didn't like that the lead indicator lacked a 2B indication, which was disappointing to me because personally I find HB to be not dark enough for my tastes. However, I knew this when I bought it, so it's not a huge problem. The indicator goes from B-4H , and I'm sure there's a reason for this instead of 2B-2H, but I wouldn't know.

Overall, I liked this pencil, and aside my minor complaint about no 2B indication, it's a great pencil. It feels very solid and breaks lead less (in my opinion). Also, the fine control over how much lead is advanced is simply wonderful.

If you need a pencil that will stand up to the heaviest of writing, I'd heartily recommend this one.
