Have you ever had a pencils eraser fall out from being banged around in your pocket or book bag? Well with the Pentel Qe517a Twist-Erase III Mechanical Pencil you won't have that problem anymore. This pencil not only allows you to write smoothly but it has a twistable eraser that can be hidden away from damage.
Durability
This pencil can last longer than any other mechanical pencil can with out a doubt. You may be asking how can it or why, let me fill you in on its advantage. Not only does the eraser retract and can be hidden away from damage, it is a very long eraser, i good 3 inches long. So you only need to twist it up a little bit and when it begins to wear down you have more and more eraser to use. Not to mention it has a little bit thicker of a frame than most pencils do so it doesn't snap in half and can handle being tossed around.
Use
All you do is click the led out and write! It is the most simple thing to use. Then when you make a mistake you twist and erase. When you are done with it just twist the eraser down and store it away and don't worry about it being damaged because of its great strength. You can buy more and more led for it because the eraser lasts 10x as long.
Color
There is not a color that i haven't seen. I've seen green, red, maroon, blue, black, purple, white... you name it and they probably carry it somewhere. The more common ones are the ones that i have named, that come in variety packs but you can get any color you need so you can have you favorite color of pencil.
Price
You may think it is a little pricy but really stop and think about it. You would spend at least that much money on regular pencils in the time it would to use this pencil til it was gone, and probably even more money than you would think. This pencil can definitely last through a full year of schooling and i have used some through 2 years, you definitely get a big bang for your buck.
Writing Flow
These pencils are some of the smoothest writing pencils you could ever have. I have had pencils that rip through paper, but not once with this pencil. Everything is smooth and it feel effortless to make marks that stick out with it. Not only that but they erase very well also. The pencil marks go away easy and the erasers that are installed work magic.
