Review: If you ask how $10 for a pencil can be reasonable, you haven't used an Alvin pencil. - This pencil is amazing. True, the metal tip is sensitive to denting, so it's best to be careful with it. But, given appropriate caution, this writing utensil can be a God-send to people who write or draw or generally use a pencil a lot. As for me, I'm a college student, and as such have a lot to write down. I take notes by hand in class (can't stand to type my notes), and I tend to at least begin papers by freewriting in pencil. However, most pencils would leave my hand cramped after only a few minutes. Not to mention the usual problems of lead breaking or having to constantly sharpen in the case of classic wooden pencils (half my classrooms don't even have pencil sharpeners anymore. I feel old and I'm not even out of my 20s.) Enter the Alvin. I can't say why, but I could write for hours straight with this pencil and never cramp. Maybe it's because the barrel has a little more girth than your average pencil or because of the added weight, but this pencil is probably single-handedly reducing my chance for arthritis. It also makes my handwriting about 20 times better. The lead smoothly glides across the paper and doesn't drag or lurch like other mechanical pencils seem to do. The lead will come out reliably in small increments. It won't suddenly jet out all at once like I've experienced with cheap plastic mechanical pencils. It's got fantastic fit and finish, feels solid the whole way through and won't jingle or rattle as you write. In short, once you've written with this pencil, you will not ever want to go back to buying those cheap packs of 20 mechanical pencils. The $10 price tag is definitely worth it. Hell, if the tip were a little more sturdy, I'd pay $30 for this pencil in a heartbeat. It's THAT good. Buy it, you'll love it, and you'll wonder why the hell you didn't shell out 10 measly dollars for this pencil earlier.
Review: Beautiful mechanical pencil—will last for years - The .3mm Alvin Draftmatic mechanical pencil is perfect. Has excellent weight and balance, feels substantial in the hand—not too light or too heavy. The stainless steel grip doesn't irritate my fingers at all. Don't even feel it. In fact, it's one of my favorite features of the product. I also appreciate and admire the lead windows. Yellow is a recent favorite color of mine so I'm happy they have it for this mechanical pencil. My only wish is that they had a variety of colors to choose from. I recently purchased the Mab Graves limited edition mechanical pencils the company collaborated with her on, and they are wonderful as well. I won't deduct any stars on the lack of additional colors though bc the product performs beautifully. I ended up using nail art from Sally's and transparent tape to the handles to be able to tell the yellow .3mm pencils apart from each other (so I don't have to look at the lead window every time I want to change lead)—problem solved. Also worth noting: the previous yellow .3mm Alvin pencil, I had for 9 years. I still have it, but just updated with some new ones. They will last you a long time.

## Features

- Ease and Efficiency - Knurled stainless steel finger grips for very low or high grip preferences, rotating lead degree windows, and cushion point to make writing control comfortable and beautifully balanced.
- Durable Build - This pencil's body and components are made of steel, making it a heavy-duty tool you will be able to use on many projects to come.
- Tough Lead - Comes with premium lead that is much less prone to breaking while writing or drawing. Spend more time working and less time adjusting your pencil as you go.
- Multipurpose Pencil - Designed for use by professionals and students alike, this pencil creates a superior experience for a myriad of projects including drafting, engineering, geometry, drawing, or even taking notes.
- Leather Storage Pouch - The set comes with a stiched, black leather pencil pouch so you can avoid losing them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Pencil
*by S***L on August 16, 2011*

I'll include a disclaimer that I'm not a professional engineer, architect, or anyone who might be drafting. I found these on a quest to find the perfect pencil, and my search ended here. Initially introduced to me by a professional architect, I was instantly enamored with this line of mechanical drafting pencils. The craftsmanship is wonderful, from the plastics to the metal accents, making it a lustworthy writing implement. The pencil is very lightweight yet feels balanced in your hand, almost weighing down onto the paper when writing and yet lifting as easily as a feather. The metal grip looks as though it may be painful or coarse on your fingertips, but it feels natural, and keeps your pencil fixed in your hand. It feels very sturdy, as though it will last the test of time through all of your usage. Yes, it has the flaw of a delicate metal tip, an overly loose lead indicator, and the spring loaded tip may be an annoyance to professionals (I find that it has actually helped me by preventing me from breaking lead). But they detract nothing from the sheer joy of using this pencil; I completely recommend the Alvin Draft Matic line of pencils. (I have tried the .3mm, .5mm, .7mm, and .9mm pencils, and of those found that the .7mm is by far the best for common application, but still recommend the entire line).
