    Comments about Big Lead Mechanical Pencil Set:

    I am an aircraft sheetmetal mechanic and use pencils very often for making marks on the aircrafts so I've been patiently waiting for this pencil to arrive. It got here today 12/2/2011, only to find that my shipment was completely DESTROYED! 3 of the leads were snapped in half the pencil itself was dirty and stained everywhere and the lid to the case is cracked and broken across the length of the case. The box that it was shipped in was brand new and with no signs of any damage whatsoever, which tells me there was probably some mishandling issues during packaging. It looks like a great pencil and I'd love to ignore it and just use it as is but if I am paying [$] bucks for a pencil, the LEAST I expect is for it to be new, serviceable, Unbroken leads, and handled properly ...

      Comments about Big Lead Mechanical Pencil Set:

      It's impossible to find a great, large-lead clutch pencil for artists without breaking the bank. The price here can't be beat and the pencil's construction is simply fantastic (sharpener included!). With the lead in the pencil you get 6 leads to start, and if you buy 2 or more refills they're only [$] for 6. All around excellent value!

              Layout for commercial cabinetry is perfect. Retract the lead and your pouch/pocket stays clean. It could use a pocket clip, although I personally don't need one. The only real problem I have is I'm now on my 3rd unit. The cap and body constantly unscrew. Lose the cap and the unit is garbage. I will thread lock the bottom piece and teflon tape the cap on this time.

                I have been looking for a reliable lead pencil where the lead will not break, the lead lasts a long time, and the lead needs very little sharpening.
                This pencil has everything I was looking for.

                I got this Pencil a few years ago from a friend of mine and it is by far one of the best gifts I have ever gotten. The lead doesnt break,the sharpener is on the end and it is very handy.

                  Comments about Big Lead Mechanical Pencil Set:

                  As an Architectural Draftsman, I have used pencils like this for years, but never one this big. It's great for renderings and shading.
                  The 6mm leads are easily shaped for fine points or broad lines.
                  I sketch also, and this is perfect for carrying around, as the lead can quickly be retracted to throw in a bag with a sketch pad.
