I first ordered the pen a few days ago, but when it arrived, it was nonfunctional… So the company sent me a replacement immediately… And it works perfectly!Very efficient thank you

I will keep it, but advertising said "retractable" and it is not. Retractable in a mechanical pencil is when not only the graphitte tip is retracted but also the metal tube and mechanism to supply more lead when is desired. This feature is to orotect pockets or any other storage. I suppose that it will be answered that retractable is for the lead, but is ambiguous and I consider the advertising in that point not fair.

It’s my favorite pen.

Exceptionally well made and the pencil has a beautiful finish.

As an avid fan of note taking, a good pencil is priceless. I LOVE the 925 series of pencils, they’re all very comfortable and honestly make note taking fun, won’t lie. This is great, as most Steadtler pencils but it just doesn’t have any weight? I like the Pentel Graph Gear because it’s heavy and holding it feels good, but it’s really heavy. The Steadtler 925 with the metal graphite window (i forgot what it’s called) is my favorite. It’s not entirely metal, but it’s heavy enough for the center of mass to be right above the vee of the thumb and forefinger when holding the pencil.This pencil is all that, except. It’s all plastic. Which means it’s really lightweight which means it needs a small amount of down pressure to write. Picking between the two, id go with the 925. The 925 15 is just not heavy enough for regular use.
