But somehow, it's not quite there for me. <br /><br />The stainless body, good springy clip, retractable and sliding lead sleeve, all things in the plus column. The smooth ridges in the metal grip section are nice, though not strictly necessary in my opinion--I don't find plain metal to be overly slippery on a lightweight Larsthegreatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-37450280226449839852010-12-07T12:49:43.945+13:002010-12-07T12:49:43.945+13:00Don't know.

On the other hand, the plain (not brushed steel) version is relatively cheap in the UK. There are also various Logo multipens, including one with a 0.5mm pencil and a single ballpoint.PointFourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07167502477180002343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-39394145347428665462010-12-05T21:11:19.878+13:002010-12-05T21:11:19.878+13:00Hey guys!

It's interesting to see how many of the mechanical pencils you have reviewed, that I own. <br /><br />Anyways, I was wondering if you could use your mech. pencil expertise to help me a solve a problem.

Yet it's very housebound because it scratches rather easily. I can confirm the slight wobble/rattly noise, and I also find that it unscrews quite easily so you constantly have to tighten it whilst writing/drawing etc.<br /><br /> I see you're based in NZ too, I kept looking at the pictures behind the pencils Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-32902300720557432162010-12-05T06:36:24.563+13:002010-12-05T06:36:24.563+13:00Dear Anonymous - you are correct.
