ZEBRAMechanical Pencil DelGuard Type ER 0.5mm, Black (P-MA88-BK)

The media could not be loaded. I like the eraser function of this pencil. Flip the pencil upside down and the easier will pop out and stay in place while erasing. I been using this prodect for my sketching and doodling, sometimes for writing but mostly for art. Its a high quality prodect and even though the cost is a bit high, it does hold up well. I have had it for over 8 month and only been through one pack of lead. The lead is smooth and also doesn't simply chip away so easily. I have had to only replace the eraser once and it comes with replacements.Overall, it was a good investment and a wonderful gift for those who like to write or sketch.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had previous Zebra brand pencils before. They all function very well, but this one has to be the best! I’m not exactly a reviewer, but holy curds it’s really cool! A spring flexes with the pressure you apply while you write so that the lead doesn’t break and I’ve found it’s comfortable to hold while sleek at the same time. I have a friend who struggles with gout and carpal tunnel while being an Architecture student out in Chicago. He’s found it’s more comfortable to draw and write with than most—if not all—other pencils he’s tried. Plus, the hidden eraser only pops out when the pencil is held upside-down, which makes a great thing for me to stim with since I’m high-functioning. I love to write and draw with it, and take it everywhere with me because of that! I’ve recommended it to lots of folks I know who could benefit from this pencil, especially students from elementary to university!

This is the second one that I have bought. I have a problem with pushing to hard when I write and the technology in this pencil eliminates it, I almost never break lead anymore. It has a good grip that makes writing very comfortable. As long as you can keep track of it, I think it’s pretty good for the cost

Worth it!

Decent quality mechanical pencil. It isn't too heavy or too light, and it is fairly smooth and comfortable to hold for an extended period of time. The eraser pops out if you turn the pencil upside down, and locks itself into place until you turn the pencil upright again, which I have found to be oddly useful in my time using it. My biggest warning is that the rubber grip on this will start to peel off after a few months.

This mechanical pencil is something that I'm in awe with. I am a heavy handed writer and struggled with mechanical pencils my whole life, even .07mm models. The mechanism that protects the tip of the exposed graphite is a masterpiece. Totally worth every penny! I will own these for life and they make a great gift.

Both Delguard lead protection systems work great, and it's an attractive pencil. The eraser popping out when it is flipped over is a sort of clever touch. In the long run I don't know that I will be a fan of it since it makes the pencil rattle a little, but it's not that annoying.I write in script, so this is a great pencil for me, but if you use block letters I'd recommend the Kuru toga line of pencils. They are similarly priced and have a wonderful system that rotates the lead as you write. It's not very effective with cursive writers though.

Its held up for about 2+ years now. The eraser could be better but it’s whatever. Nice and smooth writing.
