De esta manera resulta menos probable que se destrabe accidentalmente.<br />Oronáhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13446216178742023115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-51052899796754237902015-01-10T01:23:40.167+13:002015-01-10T01:23:40.167+13:00The Draftmatic's knurling is noticeably roughe...The Draftmatic's knurling is noticeably rougher.

I use a red 0.5 version and I don't have any problems with locking or looseness or wobbling of any sort. My only gripe is the small eraser that is of a unique size so special ordering is required. It is a little too nose-heavy for my style of pencil spinning, but it's my favorite crossword weapon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-52927888355655466942010-10-28T11:51:31.186+13:002010-10-28T11:51:31.186+13:00What a life saver!

Well, I just saved 14 bucks, because this pencil would have been a bad acquisition for me. The wobble problem that you mentioned and some missed ergonomics pushed this pencil out of my cart contents.

It is really a nice addition to a MP collection, but I have to admit I really haven't used it much after the first week. Maybe is a sign that I already ammassed way too many pencils to include the Shift in my regular rotation.B2-kunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431974279890454789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-57065141990427559992009-10-05T06:49:59.809+13:002009-10-05T06:49:59.809+13:00Great review.

I just got delivery of these pencils in the mail a day or two ago and was planning to review them after using them abit for drawing; but your reviews as always are a lot more thorough and comprehensive than i could ever hope to be, so i'll just be doing a capsule review and linking to this post.<br /><br />Great work as always. :)bengkiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163772595410618579noreply@blogger.com
