I heard so much about this pencil that when Staples offered a BoGo on all the Dr Grip pencils, I got the silver LTD edition with shaker for myself, a regular one without shaker for my hubby and 2 of the center of gravity. I agree with the evaluation, the grip on the LTD edition drops off too sharply & that makes it almost painful for those like me who grip their EbonyAngelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-35404135543605140492014-09-16T02:33:14.236+12:002014-09-16T02:33:14.236+12:00i've used this pencil for like 7 years, obviou...i've used this pencil for like 7 years, obviously not the same one, but i can't stop buying these. they are definitely the best and they're inexpensive too! the bulkiness and heavier weight provides stability and that is another plus!

It makes sense, though, if it is meant to be easy for people with arthritis to use - I imagine shaking is easier than clicking. Mine still works well and I find it comfortable to use, but the dark silver paint on it has worn off in places to reveal white plastic underneath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-17797140322853484092012-07-27T05:28:00.311+12:002012-07-27T05:28:00.311+12:00I have always loved the Dr. Grip.

Great site Dave, but you are on firmer ground when you stick to technical issues. For example, I would like to see more discussion of cushion systems. But this grip gripe is a personal matter.
