Tombow Mono Graph Fine
Tombow Mono Graph Fine
Tombow Mono Graph Fine mechanical pencil is a sophisticated pencil that combines classic Mono Graph qualities with updated design to improve writing and erasing accuracy! The Fine Write system features an ultra slim tapered tip to ensure a wide field of view and integrated grip for maximum stability. Its metal grip has a specialized soft-feel coating, great for lasting comfortable use over time. The Fine Erase system includes the classic twist-up style Mono eraser in 3.6mm for precision erasing. The eraser end is also the knock, how you get the lead to advance, so they engineered an eraser lock. Every time you turn your Fine pencil upside down to erase, the eraser unit is locked to prevent accidental knocks. It's available in your choice of .3mm or .5mm lead size and sleek silver or black metallic bodies. The Mono Graph Pencil series has consistently boasted a stable, fatigue-resistant writing experience, and the Mono Graph Fine exceeds all expectation.

Dropped it off a desk and the internal lead-feed component (inaccessible by removing the eraser-mechanism & the front nib part) was broken completely. Attempting to advance lead wouldn't work no matter what; pencil probably needed to be disassembled to fix it.
No, the lead-sleeve wasn't blocked; I cleared it and could see light thru the hole. Nor was the jaws/ clutch mechanism blocked or dysfunctional. Lead could be inserted into the jaws, and successfully advanced back out, but when fed into the feed, the pencil was absolutely broken. It would just swallow lead and never spit it back out. Not sure what I did or when.
Would still recommend for the price, but just don't drop it, ever, or it'll be mortally wounded. Extremely disappointed. :C
The mechanical pencil is great. The lead is actually pretty soft, so it doesn't scratch the page (often), despite its small diameter. There's about an inch or two of eraser that comes with the pencil, & its rather high quality, so you won't need to refill too frequently (i hope.) The pencil body is weighty and, at the very least, feels like you're holding something pricey, but its important to note that its not heavy.
In other words, its exactly what I expected.
One star removed for the minor imperfections. I recommend you by the model of this pencil that comes with a grip!
