The other day i noticed the carry case is also designed as a pencil stand! Here's a quick summary of why I love this offering, The elegant case has an impeccable metal fold that keeps the case shut tight. The team who designed and manufactured are amazing. Superb craftsmanship! My fingers love the tri-angled eraser and the Ain lead technology is stronger than imaginable for 0.3 lead. My kit came from Japan so at first I didn't realize the Ain was new engineering. Highly recommend this lead period. let's clarify on the graphgear 1000 mechanical pencil. > the click to advance lead is firm indicating quality mechanism > the pencil writing head retracts protecting your shirt pocket and the instruments precision head. >> the .3 pencil pencil erasure has special a .3 metal punch in the eraser head used to clear stuck or broken lead. >>> broken bits are not uncommon with small lead sizes. >>> you depress the head and then push the punch in to clear the lead. Not needed if u don't drop your pencil! >> see photo for lead remover center punch > the pencil shaft twists to indicate 2b B, HB, and B lead. all these details exhibit the manufacturer considers the needs of all types of engineers, and computer scientists, who value precision and use of indicators. why buy? not everyone has the money to purchase a $50 superior quality mechanical pencil kit but manufacturer has clearly done their very best to provide quality and durable mechanical pencils, lead, erasures, and a quality carry case to protect your pencils. > this offering provides a high quality triangular eraser. at first i didn't use it but it has become my favorite erasue period. my experience: i've been using the kit nearly a year and the only improvement i made, if one can even call it that, is i buffered the inside carry case with thin heavy bond paper so the pencils don't make a case rattling noise. thank you for reading and i hope this helps people understand the deep value in this offering. peace instructor brian Read more
