Review: My favorite mechanical pencil - I have been using this brand and type of mechanical pencils for years. My favorite ever. Sturdy, durable, good quality. Strongly recommend
Review: Sturdy Swiss Pencil - Very sturdy with rubbery galvanized metal of graphite nature. Has a good clearance while depressing the button. The cap is very deep when removed. Possibility of losing the cap is remote. Reveals a regular pencil eraser inside like those mostly found on Pentels. This metal pencil is about 60% to 70% the weight of its pen counterpart which is a surprise as it packs more mechanisms inside. I am assuming it is because the pen counterpart has a jumbo ink insert that contributes to the weight. No major lead breakage issues while writing. Again, very sturdy. The clip is very sturdy as well and has a good clearance so as to fit in thick pocket clothing. A high quality pencil.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: On this model does the metal sleeve at the tip of the pen slide in and out a couple of mm as the lead wears?**
A: The metal sleeve of the mechanical pencil slides in and out when you press the release button on top of it in order to release the lead.  I hope I have helped you with your choice.  I think that both the pen and the mechanical pencils are very good to be used on a regular basis.  They are simple and elegant, also there are many different colors to choose.

**Q: What do I do if the lead is jammed? I can't find a way to open 'clutch' which is what is common on other mechanical pencils?**
A: I would go to a hardware store and see if you can get a very small diameter wire that you can insert into the end of the pencil to dislodge the lead.

**Q: Does the metal tip retract back into the body of the pencil?**
A: The metal tip does not retract. It's a very nice mechanical pencil. I have many of these over the years. I have never had one break, unfortunately I have a tendency to lose them.

**Q: Hello. Is this the original one? The tip looks a little weird.**
A: This is an original pen obtained directly from the CDA USA supplier and the tip reflects the fact that it is a mechanical pencil mechanism vs ballpoint pen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overpriced, but lovely
*by N***U on July 28, 2020*

I have countless mechanical pencils. Many Japanese and German brands with all the details and engineering. None of them really compare to the handling of this simple looking clutch pencil. It's all I use now. Be sure to get the 3mm lead from Caran D'Ache. There is a built in sharpener in the push button.
