Find compelte return instructions at uniballco.com/returns" Blister packed 2 plastic pencils 2 hexagonal erasers 1 pack refill leads Clear plastic nubby grip- no cushion, but it's slightly concave Side advancement Back pulls off to refill Twist up eraser Reminds me of the Papermate Clearpoint and a few of the Pentel ClicErase pencils. Although I don't frequently use this type of pencil personally, I have loved this type of pencil in the past, and generally think it's a decent design and a good option for students and people who handwrite frequently. Writing test: When writing, I didn't have to advance the pencil- it seems like it legit auto advances? I wonder if it actually does auto feed as well- that's a time will tell sort of thing. Fairly comfortable in the hand, decently built, feels fairy sturdy and there's some give in the feed to help prevent snapping. Like most of these twist erase style erasers, this one will roll itself down while you erase, so you have to hold it in place. Why hasn't anyone invented a mechanism that does a good job holding the eraser in place? Drawing Test: Colored Lead: Able to front feed in colored lead Fairly easy to sketch with No lead brakage did have to advance the lead The eraser is frustrating to use- the concept is interesting, but it keeps retratcting itself, and the advancement ring is small and challenging to hold as you erase Drawing Test: This is ok to draw with, although my hand started hurting while working in the sketch. The included lead is pretty nice, maybe a bit darker and softer than #2 normally is, but it's high quality lead. Generally, this is a nice pencil- I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it, because it's VERY similar to Papermate and Pentel products, but if I were in a pinch and needed a pencil for a show, I wouldn't mind hitting up CVS and grabbing one of these.
