Stationery S4482646 Metal Pencil, Metacil, Metallic Gray, Pencil Lead Color: Black 2H #4 (with Authentic Hologram Sticker United States Only)

I'm big on drawing, and typically traditional wooden pencils are my go-to. Mechanical pencils are nice for longevity, but their thin, straight lead isn't really intuitive for the intricacies of shading, line weight, etc. This is exactly what I needed. It's got all the pros of a wooden pencil, while also being durable, reusable, and STYLISH! The pencil itself has a very nice weight and feel to it, and makes a super satisfying scratching noise while writing, if you're into that stuff.

Took quite some time to get, but i was impressed. Wrote amazing (just a touch light) i did however drop it, which the tip broke at an angle, but still very much usable. I will say though, you are mostly paying for the metal and not the tip as its is about the same as any other kind of forver pen/pencil.

It’s a sleek, stylish pencil. Very unique. It’s got a bit of weight which is actually pretty cool. My only complaint is how light the markings you leave are. Even pressing hard it’s still very light. Especially when writing on white paper, your words have a harder time standing out. It’s a great pencil, just know before you buy that it’s gonna be light.

First what I like about this pencil. What I like is that I don't have to keep sharpening or clicking to put more graphite out. I write kind of hard and tend to break mechanical pencil graphite. I also like that you can get replacements tips. So what I don't like... Well I don't like how thin it is but that can be fixed easily with a slip on pencil grip. It does write a little light compared to a regular graphite pencil but it is still perfectly legible. I don't like that it doesn't come with an eraser. Erasers are so cheap why not throw one in with a $15 pencil? And lastly I don't like that my point broke off because it slid right off my clip board and landed point first on a concrete floor. Please add some kind of clip to better secure the pencil. And also why are the replacement tips just as expensive as a new pencil? Conclusion, if you are going to use this at a desk or draft table with little risk of dropping on a hard floor then go for it. If you work out in harsher conditions like I do then it might not be the best choice.

If you don’t want to leave streaks of carbon on paper, but would prefer to leave streaks of a frozen metal instead, this works well. The metal leaves the same kind of streak but doesn’t involve all the carbon, if that freaks you out. I heard this called an ‘infinity pencil,’ which freaked me out at first cause I don’t want to write forever but it can only write ten miles, which only feels like infinity if you’re a slug or termite or something, even though infinity is more than a slug could ever go, even if it got really old.

Writes very light. Barely visible. Not worth it.

The hardness factor is equivalent to a 3H pencil so it does write a bit lighter than some might prefer. I think it's a good trade for a pencil tip that isn't fragile. I especially like the body shape and the ease in replacing the tip in the future. The shape doesn't roll on a flat surface.

Dropped once from a conference table onto carpet. Tip broke. Pencil is fine but a replacement tip costs as much as the pencil. Not worth it.
